Pro Flight Simulator the Most Realistic Flight Sim Ever? There is a lot of talk about how
Pro Flight Simulator is better than the Microsoft flight sim, and may well be the best flight sim to date. Reviews go on about how detailed the experience is and the vast number of aircraft available. Well that is pretty much the review of everyone selling games and simulators. So, how does the average sim flight fan rate the game and what is their experience? After all the real test of how great any simulator is, lies in how well the fans of sim like it and just how it plays. Let's explore it from the standpoint of a flight simulation fan in search of a realistic flight experience.
With most flight Sims, those played on a PC may lack some realism because many are not compatible with controls similar to those used in aircraft. Controlling a flight using a keyboard is not quite as real an experience as using foot pedals and yolks.
Pro Flight Simulator overcomes that drawback by allowing for interface with many of the popular Top Gun controllers which admittedly add to the realism of the experience. Speaking of compatibility, it works for almost all versions of windows (expected) and for Macs as well (not as expected).
Flight sim fans usually have the larger high def monitors, and for the Pro Flight Simulator, a big screen experience is definitely recommended because of the highly detailed realism of the outdoor scenery (synched with Google maps) and the cockpit view. For the Flight Sim Fan in search of realism Pro Flight Sim may well be able to deliver far better than any simulator previously.
There was a lot of talk about the download of the Pro Flight Simulator being a large one. That is simply solved by upgrading to the CD version. However the download is well worth it in terms of the visual and control accuracy this flying simulator delivers. It can be synched with Google maps, and has realistic scenery, airports and can reflect real time weather conditions.
Of course those features are probably not as notable for the avid flight simulation fan as the fact that cockpit controls and the instrumentation react realistically. Some lag in instrumentation is always present and is reflected in the instrument panels of this simulator. The magnetic compass is subject to real time influences such as aircraft body forces, the gyro actually drifts as it would in real instrumentation.
Pro Flight Simulator may well be the best flight sim yet for the true flight sim fan. It has the realism that avid fans desire from their sim games. The beginner may find the selection of aircraft almost too overwhelming for them so, although the price is right, the selection excellent in terms of aircraft the all too plentiful choices can be completely overwhelming. Take it one stage at a time and enjoy the experience because for the Sim fan it is as to real flight as it comes.
