Flight Simulator Games Are perfect!

By Frenzic Matt O'Connor


Humans, since time immemorial, have looked up at the sky and wished to fly like birds. Relentless human endeavor and ingenuity has made that wish come true. Although a century has passed since powered flight was achieved, still most of us crave to try our hands at flying an aircraft. With the advent of flight simulator games everyone can safely experience some of the thrills of flying an aircraft.

Although nothing comes close to actual experience, flight simulator games try their best to mimic the dynamics of actual flight. With constant evolution of gaming hardware and software, flight games can deliver very immersive game play. Various game developers regularly release many flight simulator game titles. Microsoft X-Box, Sony Playstation and PC are some of the popular platforms for which numerous titles are available.

Compatible force feed back controllers that deliver vibrational and tactile feed back are available. The current generation of gaming technology can deliver high definition video quality and realistic physics simulation. Virtual reality units can be worn like goggles, they project the image in front of your eyes creating a realistic illusion.

Flight games not only deliver quality entertainment but also help players learn about the dynamics of flight. Through game play players learn real life flight concepts like roll, yaw, pitch, lift, drag etc. Professional flight schools use some of the realistic flight games to train pilots.

The different types of gaming experiences delivered by flight simulator games include training games, mission games and multiplayer games. Training games can be fun for learning basics of flight control, cruising and exploring the game universe. Mission games can be single or multiplayer games and involve air combat, delivery, landing etc. Staging air combats, air shows etc. with friends and strangers on networked multiplayer games can be a lot of fun.

Rich, varied and detailed scenic maps and environments are available in most modern games. Players can fly a wide selection of aircrafts. Gaming experience delivered by modern flight games is fun and challenging due to well designed physics simulation and artificial intelligence.
