Flight Simulator Plus is routinely used as an alternative to pilot training, because of its
affordability.
The learning curve for Flight Simulator Plus is a bit steep especially for a novice but the
control and interactively of the game makes it worthwhile.
Installing Flight Simulator Plus is easily but I highly recommend that you opt for the CD’s
of Flight Simulator Plus instead of a virtual download. This option maybe a bit more
expensive but if your run into technical problems you have better luck sorting it out with
reinstalling the software in the CD instead of re-downloading it.
Countless reviews and forums have spoken highly of Flight Simulator Plus. I would
recommend a novice avoid this particular product only because of the difficult and high
learning curve.

Unlike other flight simulation games, the virtual cockpit on Pro Flight Simulator looks real
as does the environment that is built in the game. Details are what separate good flight
simulation games from the great. And, Pro Flight Simulator is not short on details!
A few points below will illustrate to you the options you have in Pro Flight Simulator.
Over 120+ Aircraft to Master. From the 1903 Wright Flyer to the Latest Military
Fighter Jets.
20,000+ Real Airports With changeable Weather and NASA Flight Models.
Realistic Worldwide Terrain Based On US Defense Mapping Agency + Lifetime FREE
updates/upgrades.
Used On Television Episodes & Professional Flight Schools - The Most Realistic Flight
Sim To Date...
Fly Different Helicopters. Fly a medical helicopter and land on a remote snow covered
mountain, or how about taking charge with the latest military Westland Lynx.
Full ATC Functions. The whole ATC-communication from the Gate to the Runway,
From the Sky to Land, From Taxi to Gate. Request clearance for departure, take-off,
more.

Realistic Controls. All the controls model actual real-world instrument behavior. The
instruments that lag in real life lag correctly, gyro drift is modeled correctly, the
magnetic compass is subject to aircraft body forces - all those things that make real
world flying a challenge are present.
Multiplayer. Work with other flight fans to fly in formation, do aerobatics or for air-to-
air refuelling.
Have you ever wanted to land on an Aircraft Carrier? There is currently support for
Aircraft Carrier operations on the Nimitz, (located near San Francisco) and on The
Eisenhower.
Want to try Air-to-Air Refuelling? At present, there are two tanker aircraft (KC135-E
and KA6-D) and three receiving aircraft (A4F, Lightning and T38) capable of in-air
refuelling.

What it Offers:
Virtual Pilot 3D Flight simulator is the most beautiful and seamless flight simulator game I
have played. Its breath taking scenery and high definition graphics make its steep price
well worth it. It may not be the ultimate flight stimulator game but it comes pretty darn
close.
Amazing terrains come right out of Google Maps and you experience real time weather
changes along with the sun and moon traversing as you fly.
Here are 5 technical points that will make you consider buying this product above all else.
Design your own scenery in the Scenery and Design section of this game

Best Choice
I recommend without hesitation Pro Flight Simulator as the best flight simulator currently
in the market. It scores high in all my needs and other users can also attest to that.
Regardless, what flight simulator game you get, (as long as you stick to 4 flight simulators
I listed) you will be fine. Only avid enthusiast like me can really notice the differences
between the games.
Thanks for reading and good luck in your choice of flight simulators! Easy flying!
