Pro Flight Simulator Review

Posted by .

In this Pro Flight Simulator 2012 review site, I am going to be taking a closer look at what may just be the best airplane game available in the flight simulator market. I will also be posting regular related articles for those simulation game enthusiasts out there.

So what can you expect in this Pro Flight Simulator 2012 version? You will find new models of airplanes, helicopters and gliders. You also have more airport options with over 20,000 now available. So you can take off from and land at any of the major cities on the planet.

The game also includes an improved in flight experience with realistic changes to weather patterns and also changes in the time of day which mirrors real life changes in time, making this a truly authentic simulation experience and as close as it gets to the real thing.

Aircraft

After you have made your purchase and installed the Pro Flight Simulator suite, getting started with the game is fairly easy. First you need to choose the aircraft you want to fly. The game contains well over 150 different types of vintage and new aircraft, including gliders, helicopters, commercial planes, private jets and military fighters.

Flight Path:

Choosing your flight path involves deciding which city and airport you want to start and and what would be your final destination city and airport. You may also want to plan some stop overs on your journey.

Now you need to be aware that if you purchased the Standard package of Pro Flight Simulator, your flight plans will be restricted to the San Francisco bay area only. The Deluxe package of the game has no such restrictions since it comes with the world wide scenery package add-on. This enables you to select a wide variety of flight plans and scenery to and from all the major cities in the world.

Airports:

Another advantage of choosing the deluxe package is you also have the extra bonus of being able to take-off and land your aircraft at a wide range of airports in different world wide major cities. Each airport has been created as a virtual replica of its real life counterpart including the buildings, runways, fences, lights and any other structures you found at that particular airport.

The Deluxe pack gives you more freedom to get away from the bay area and fly to other major US cities, and keep going to European cities and beyond.

Flight Controls:

Before you can begin your Pro Flight Simulator journey of virtual flights across the globe, your first task is to practice flying an aircraft and this starts with getting used to the cockpit, learning how to use the flight controllers and understanding the various flight signals.

The cockpit contains realistic versions of the flight indicators and controls you would find in a real airplane. Here you can practice moving the aircraft, taking off and landing while familiarizing yourself the oil, fuel, oxygen hydraulics, wheel chocks and control locks.

You may find some of this a little overwhelming if you are new to flight simulators and all I would say is to take things one step at a time and not feel any pressure to be an expert at this game straight away. You will need to spend a little time learning how to become an expert virtual pilot.

In-Flight Environment:

The environmental conditions in the ProFlightSimulator game have been created to be as realistic as possible and so be prepared to experience changing weather conditions. So at times you might experience clear skies with excellent visibility, while other times you may experience torrential rain with very minimal visibility.

The game also reflects realistic changes in time. So you will experience flying during the day and also night time. Depending on your flight plan and time zones, you could find yourself taking off in the dark of night and then arrive at your final destination on a bright sunny afternoon. This all adds to the overall experience of playing the game and also to improve your skills as a pilot.

Bonuses:

Pro Flight Simulator 2012 comes complete with a 60 day 100% money back guarantee and free upgrades when ever the game gets updated. There are some added bonuses including:

  • Flight Planners
  • Aircraft Flight Handbook
  • Interactive Scenery Builder
  • Combat Flight Simulator Game

Getting The Game:

Proflight Simulator payments are processed securely by payments processor Clickbank to ensure your personal information is safe and secure. You are then sent an email (within 10 minutes but usually instantly) containing your receipt, user name and password and a link to download the game.

If you think you did not receive an email, then look in your ‘Junk’ email folder because the email might have been sent there accidentally.

Getting Started:

You can get started with ProFlight Simulator in two ways. If you have a good fast internet connection then you can download the suite straight to your PC or MAC and starting playing ProFlightSimulator straight away. If your internet connection is slow you can still download the game but expect this to take some time as the suite consists of some big files.

The other option is to install and run the game from a DVD set. This may be a good option for those with a slower connection or a personal preference to play the game from the set of CDs. You can even decide if you wish to download the game now and also request the DVD set to be sent to you.

Conclusion:

The features of the updated Pro Flight Simulator 2012 edition are fantastic and the wide ranging options of aircraft, airports and flight paths are second to none. There is an endless array of world scenery and you can even design your own scenery and flight paths. Click To Get Started And Download ProFlightSimulator
