A Great Jet Fighter Simulator’s Thrill

Posted: March 4th, 2010 | Category: Computers and Technology

Since I love the flight simulator genre, a great jet fighter simulator is what I always wish for. Most of the good fighter games out in the market are all in arcade form. The degree of realism that I’m looking for in a jet game is not satisfied with arcade style.

So while the audiences for a regular flight simulator and jet fighter simulator may seem to be different on the surface, there’s actually a large crossover between them. You will be immensely impressed on the performance of a jet fighter if you are a fan of aircrafts. Flight Pro Sim’s being well-known screens the jet fighter simulator i’ve been looking for.

I won’t go into the full Flight Pro Sim experience in much detail, but suffice to say that the game is quite impressive aside from its inclusion of fighter jets. The game is massive firstly, with a completely realized and accurate model of our entire planet. To add up, thousands of airports have been accurately rendered down to the smallest and to the most insignificant details. Last but not the least, many options are available for aircraft designs which features a lot of kinds not even seen from average flight simulators. This does of course include fighter jets.

Experiencing mach 1 in one of these speed demons is exhilarating. I took the F-15C Eagle out first, and the sense of speed, and tight control is outstanding. The learning curve is quite lenient, making these the perfect planes for beginners to the genre, though the sense of speed may through some off. You can blast straight up into the air, do barrel rolls, and swoop down and fly just over the water’s surface, parting the water behind you like the parting of the red sea. Out of the five available, I only tried on one, and there are still available ones to check out.

The one thing currently missing from Flight Pro Sim is an actual jet fighter simulator combat missions or capability, though the game is constantly being developed, and this functionality will likely be forthcoming in the future, hopefully sooner rather than later. While you can’t actually shoot down any planes yet, you can still fire and drop ordnance to help sharpen your skills for when you go. You could also engage in mock battles with other players over the game’s online mode.

If you’re looking for a great jet fighter simulator, Flight Pro Sim will certainly fit the bill. All of the elements are already in place for this to be one of the first true combat flight simulator game on the market, and a masterfully executed one at that. Take the opportunity to practice up now while you can, as the action will undoubtedly be fierce and unforgiving once airborne battles are a reality.
