The realism of the latest offering of flight simulation games is amazingly true to life the characteristics and handling of the aircraft are meticulously modelled on the real thing, the scenery graphics and flight conditions are exactly modelled on real life, you can even model real time weather conditions and flight conditions such as weather and wind turbulence in online mode you can fly in weather conditions that replicate the weather conditions anywhere in the world at any given time
There are many flight simulator games for every game platform from Nintendo to play-station but often the pc downloads are more detailed and accurate to real aircraft. They are limited in graphics and scenery and of course realistic flight characteristics the higher end of the market in flight simulators enable you to experience individual aircraft and helicopter handling the Cessna and the Boeing feel and perform like the real thing and the scenery replicates the whole globe including detailed airports and runways.
Some of the aircraft in flight simulation games are so detailed that for example the cockpit of the Boeing 747 is very complicated as each dial and control has to be activated in sequence just like the real thing, but the in game tutorials make even the most complicated aircraft easy to handle.
The flight simulator games are good entertainment for enthusiast and beginner alike they are becoming very similar to the software use to train real pilots, it is even possible to navigate actual flight paths and weather conditions.
Aircraft enthusiasts are becoming very involved in flight simulator games and they are starting to influence players to become aircraft designers and pilots.But it is equally suitable for novices that are new to aircraft simulation games,a beginner may decide to fly the light aircraft or helicopters until their skill levels improve.
Flight simulation software has really advanced in recent months it is now possible to fly aircraft such as the large commercial type planes,small light aircraft, helicopters and fighter planes with such realism that you could be learning to fly the real thing.
The airports in the latest flight simulation games are 3d models scaled to size and very realistic in every detail even the runways and any obstacles that may hinder take off and landings are equally as detailed which makes the whole package interesting and fun.
Cockpit switches and dials are also meticulously copied to reflect the real aircraft and you are shown through tutorials the sequence to start and fly the planes.
