subject: Using Your Computer As A Pc Flight Simulator Combat [print this page] Just about everyone imagines themselves at one time or another flying an airplane. Thanks to Hollywood movies, flying scenes romantic, exciting, and challenging, or so we believe. And thanks to the silver screen, it also seems pretty easy to do. So use your PC flight simulator combat software and get in the air!
Flying a real aircraft takes an inordinate amount of time and training and is a reasonably risky proposition. It is far more complex than any of the normal modes of transportation we use and requires special training and skill. Professionals continuously train and reenter training when every day change airplane types.
So it is not really a surprise that you will those of us who want to fly want to take a shortcut. Real flying is just too expensive you have to pay for instructors and gas and it takes a lot of time. So how can we get the thrill of flying without the aircraft? We turn to our computers. Fortunately, software companies all over the world anticipated our needs and have designed a plethora of aircraft simulation programs.
It does not matter if you want to start off with a small, maneuverable, light aircraft, or jump right into a jumbo jet or fighter aircraft, there is a software program that will let you do it. Many of the programs also include some kind of contest or game to keep your interest up. But there are also software programs which stay strictly with the flight characteristics of a single specific aircraft and focus on flying.
The science and art of programming has come a long way and it is now possible to visually and aurally represent the exact feel and view of flying an aircraft. The realism extends to scenery, real-time movement, instrument readings and the sound of the engines. You honestly feel like you are flying an aircraft with many of these software programs.
With the US embroiled in two conflicts overseas, and the concomitant exposure to the public of fighter aircraft, popularity of programs simulating those aircraft have skyrocketed. You can use your home computer as your own personal PC flight simulator combat trainer without risking your life or real aircraft.
