What to Look for in an Online Flight Simulator

By Hiroki Hosokawa

Before you buy an online flight simulator check that it does provide you with free flight simulator software downloads and updates. I am not talking about a free version of the game, but the updates and add-ons included in the package.

It is so important to really research the market thoroughly to see what the flight sim provider offers. And one of the things should be freebie aircraft simulation downloads and of course regular updates. You will never get bored with the variety of add-ons that a good flight sim game will come with. In fact, the challenge always remains.

So, what's all the fuss about PC aircraft simulation downloads and why choose a version which has such additions included in the package.

Well firstly, you will learn a heck of a lot more about the aircraft since you won't only be limited to one or even 5 aircraft's only. You can get a taste of a commercial aircraft, as well as a single seater of even a helicopter. Not only that, but because the technology is always advancing you won't be left out of the loop.

Secondly you need variety of scenery, countries, aircrafts and weather and wind direction in order to develop skills in many different situations. If you were always playing a game that you could copy and learn then you would never grow as an "online pilot". Thats why you should look out for features like that. Not only these add-on features but the ability to plug in flight sim hardware to control the aircraft too. This means that you won't be stuck to the keyboard all the time either.

These tools are pedal boards, joys sticks, switchboards or even seats and really keen gamers usually add these extras via a usb point and play the game like that. It might seem a bit extreme, but for people wanting to learn how to actually fly, the ability to play an aircraft game online, from home with all the fancy bits is far cheaper than going to flying school.

Once you have made up your mind about which online flying simulation game you want, keep a note of the website url handy. This is because you will get your add-ons and download from this homepage.

It is likely that you will have to hand over your name and email address so that you will be able to receive the updates and free downloads as they come out. Don't be put off by this.

This is also important for access to the members only area. There you should find even more freebies and find out news and exciting developments to the software.
