As you are probably aware there are a large number of flight simulators around today and knowing the best one to buy can be difficult considering the amount available on the market today.
It is important to get a flight simulator that is as realistic as possible so that your desire to fly the aircraft you've always wanted to fly and your passion to learn to fly will meet if not exceed your expectations.
First of all, decide what is important to you when using a simulator.
The quality needs to be of a high standard especially the graphics.
Poor graphics on an aircraft sim may seriously effect your enjoyment and you will probably lose interest very quickly.
Concentration is important so you don't want to be distracted by distorted or shaking scenery.
In short, you need a flight simulator that allows the scenery and weather patterns to change without distortion, is not a strain on your eyes and is interesting and nice to look at.
The flight simulator needs to be challenging.
A good simulator has realistic flying lessons with an instructor for instance.
You should be able to actually operate the aircraft controls.
You should also have a wide range of aircraft to choose from and recreate real world scenarios as well as create your own.
You can fly a passenger aircraft one day and a military helicopter the next, a fighter jet or something from world war two.
You also need to be able to develop and improve your skills over time.
Really feel like you are learning to fly and gaining experience.
When choosing the right simulator you need to consider: 1) Is there adequate online support.
2) Is there regular updates.
3) Does it include real-time appliances built-in such as weather.
4) Whether you have to pay for updates.
5) can you interact with other users on the internet.
Some flight simulator vendors will supply updates and support for free.
Updates are necessary to continually improve the performance of your sim and in turn increase your enjoyment.
So if you actually have the dream of sitting in the cockpit and experience the real take off, then you actually need to go for the right kind of flight sim and at the same time you should not forget that you need to go beyond the regular keyboard of your computer and should use the right kind of flight simulator hardware in order to train yourself like a pilot in the real world.
You should always make sure your flight simulator has adequate instruction manuals.
Also demo's to help you get started.
