Experience True Wonders With Flying Airplane Games

By S. A. Hiles


Learning many of the ins and outs of an airplane and flight plans is possible through the use of flying airplane games. Some simulators are used on a professional scale in order to train new and seasoned pilots while others are used in a personal hobby or gaming fashion. The latter of these two options is seen in the popularity of flight simulator video and computer gaming.

Since being introduced decades ago, flight simulators have certainly grown in popularity and people from all walks of life enjoy playing them for different reasons. Over the years, they have advanced substantially in their technology and graphics and the programs of today are very life like and realistic. There are different types of flight simulators with some of the most popular being general aviation, space and combat.

Different types of aircraft are available for flying in simulator games and programs. In addition to real aircraft types, the flying locations and scenery are often reality-based as well, which helps create realistic gaming experiences. Many of the aspects and routines of a typical real life flight can be recreated in a flight simulation game with such things as pre-flight checks, taxiing, take off, in flight scenarios, air turbulence, navigation, and landing.

Flight simulators which are used on a commercial and real-life training scale are used to train pilots and other essential staff, they also help improve flight safety and increase efficiency in different areas. Simulators are used on a hobbyist level as a popular pastime and fun entertainment activity. Amateur flight simulators, as these are also often called, are continuously being updated and introduced and are offered on different gaming platforms including PC computer models.

Flight simulation programs were actually one of the first gaming genres ever to be introduced. These first programs were very basic and somewhat crude but they helped pave the way for future video gaming advancements in all areas. The incredibly life like flight simulation programs today are a far cry from their forefathers, but they still have essentially the same focus and offer players the chance to "fly" in real life scenarios and other created situations.

Combat flights are at the top of the list when it comes to popularity in flight simulation gaming. These pieces of software focus on military themes and offer players the option of flying in historical military and new military aircraft. Combat flight simulation games are easy to find as they are produced in large numbers and have many interested fans from different backgrounds and age groups.

Flight simulation games offer gamers the chance to reach their high flying dreams while keeping their feet solidly on the ground. Players can choose from their favorite aircrafts, locations, and scenarios. They can also create their own modifications, or "mods", to add ever more to their experience. These mods include things like aircraft models and flying locales.

Recently, online flying airplane games have become ever more popular. These web-based forums allow the experience to be more group oriented and players can play different roles, such as air traffic controller. Online flight games are found on many different sites and most are free or low in cost.
