The Flight Simulator

There are many types of flight simulator computer programs on the market, and Flight Pro Sim is among the best.  When evaluating any flight simulator, there are several factors to take into account.

First of all, the realism of the experience is paramount.  Realism of the flight simulator experience via yoke and rudder pedals is one thing, but the experience is dampened somewhat if the terrain over which you are flying does not look realistic, or if the instrument panels on which your computerized craft depend are not accurate.

Then there’s the question of how many aircraft you get to fly in any particular software package. Most flight simulator packages offer a wide variety of aircraft, but make you pay extra if you want to download any more, or worse…don’t even have the capability of letting you add extra aircraft, or flight scenarios, or scenery to your original software package.

In the case of Flight Pro Sim, the realism is incredible and there over 100 aircraft included. The software is open source, which means that any qualified developer can upload scenarios and aircraft, which the user may in turn download, free of charge.   So there is an ever expanding selection of aircraft and scenery.

What are the features of Flight Pro Sim?

The ability to choose your aircraft, an airport and runway from which you wish to take off, the time of day, the current weather, and a host of other environmental settings.

Because the simulator is set to synchronize with real time, the user will find that the sun, moon, stars, and planets are correctly placed for the specified time and date, follow their correct courses through the sky, and the phases of the moon will also be correct. It also takes seasonal effects into account, so that, for example, in summer there will be 24-hour days north of the Arctic circle.

The scenery in the base install package consists of a small area around San Francisco. However, extra scenery of the entire world is available — lakes, rivers, roads, railroads, cities, towns, land cover, and so on.  These come in self installation packs consisting of 10 degree by 10 degree sections.

In addition, the instrument packages also mimic real life flying. Instruments that lag in real life, will lag correctly in the simulator. Gyro drift will occur, the magnetic compass is subject to aircraft body forces, and every once in a while the pilot will have to deal with instrument and system failures.

Realism. That’s what a flight simulator should offer, and that’s what Flight Sim Pro does.
