Airplane Simulators Online

Airplane Simulators Online

Would you like to know what to look for when searching airplane simulators online? The first thing you should be concerned with is the price. The second should be how realistic the flying is in the simulator is. The third should be what is included in the sim. Lastly, you should want one that comes with great support in case you have any problems. It is very important to consider all of these things when looking for a flight simulator.

1. The Price: When looking at the prices is not really important how much the starting price is. It is important to look and see if the charge for additional things. Some companies may charge you per airplane or helicopter. Some may charge you for each airport. That's bad enough, but some will even charge extra for scenery, like cities and what not. So, you might buy the game for 50 or $100, but by the time you add planes, airports, and scenery you could be paying close to a thousand dollars. This is something you have to watch out for. I fell for this once, and I will never do it again.

2. Realism: When looking for airplane simulators online, you should always be able to see a preview video before you buy. The good companies will almost always include a video on the buyer's page. When looking for realism, you don't want just good graphics; you also want the game to include real cockpits. You want the inside of a F-16 fighter jet to be an exact duplicate of a real one. You will also want the plane to have the same controls and fly just like it would in real life. A lot of the flight simulators will not take the time to replicate the inside of the planes correctly.

3. What's included: There is a lot of airplane simulators online, and you need to know what you are going to get before you buy it. If you're looking to buy one and the website doesn't tell you how many planes are included, or how many airports you can fly to, chances are they will be trying to sell these things to you separately. So make sure you know how many airplanes, airports, and double check to make sure the game comes with scenery.

4. Support: Its always a good idea to make sure the company offers some sort of support, or at the very least has a money back guarantee. If you can figure out how to fly the planes, you are going to want someone to be able to help you out. If they do not provide support just make sure they have a money back guarantee. Worse case scenario, if you can't figure out the game, you can at least get your money back for it. I will admit, I have never had to get a refund from a flight simulator. They normally come with detailed instructions that tell you how to do everything. The flight sim that I use has a built in feature that lets you hit a key and it will tell you what you need to do next if you're stuck.
