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.

Well rest assured that there are flying sim games out there but all you have to do is dig through the many online to find some treasures. They are out there, but like I said, you just gotta sift and read and research more. The benefit of free downloads for your flight simulation software is that the game will be regularly updated. This means constant learning about new aircrafts which obviously bring along with it the challenges as well. However what really stands out with these type of freebies and add-ons?

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.

Just keep the website details that you purchased the product from and go back there when you are ready for the extra add-ons. You should be able to access them from somewhere obvious on the homepage.

Oh, and don't be alarmed if you have to sign in and give your personal details of name and email. It is important that they contact you should the need arise as well as being able to hand over your downloads right?

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.
