ProFlightSimulator Review - What Exactly Is This Package?
Before I go into the details, lets take a look at the impressive stats. ProFlightSimulator comes complete with a fully realized and modelled world, with landmarks and accurate scenery for every part of the globe, powered by Google Maps.
The game even accurately maps the solar system, and weather patterns are accessed in real-time to deliver true-to-life weather in every area of the globe. It truly does feel like you're traversing the planet in the plane of your choice!
Speaking of planes, there is a massive collection of aircraft at your disposal, all accurately modelled. Nearly 130 planes were available at the time of this ProFlightSimulator review, and a lot more are being added all the time, thanks to the game's dedicated team of developers.
However, with so many flight sims out on the market and on the internet today, Is ProFlightSimulator really worth the money?
To answer this question and to find if this package is really for you lets talk about some of the pros and cons of this flight sim
ProFlightSimulator Review - The Pros And Cons
The Pros
Extremely Realistic Flying
This ProFlightSimulator software is by far more realistic than any other simulation software available. It has been built to be as close to real life as possible. Everything from terrain, aircraft reactions, to planetary alignments & movements.
After playing dozens of other flight sims online I noticed the most about ProFlightSImulator is the attention to detail.
Extensive Selection of aircraft and Maps
I was impressed with the most was the professional, fully detailed, Real Life flight simulation with support for over 20,000 of the world's airports, extensive scenery packs as well as120 different planes from Concords, F16s, Migs, airliners and more.
From the Wright Flyer piloted by the Wright Brothers, to the Boeing 747 and even the latest military fighter jet, ProFlightSimlator give you the opportunity to experience a huge number of realistic aircraft first hand.
Accurate World Mapping
The game even goes to the extent of including accurate mapping of the solar system and real time weather. So if it’s raining in Florida in real life it will be raining in Florida in the game!
Very Useful Bonuses That Beats Other Package:
When you order ProFlightSimulator you will also receive these 3 bonuses which no other flight sim package offers:
1. Custom Map Maker
2. Kelpie Flight Planner
3. Free Combat Flight Simulator Game
Great MultiPlayer Options
ProFlightSimulator has an online component that has been expertly implemented. Two that stood out in the online mode were formation flying and chatting, which to be honest I thought were put together brilliantly.
Money Back Guarantee
The product comes with sixty-days money-back guarantee and if you are not completely satisfied with what you get, you will receive your money back. No questions asked!
Free Updates For Life
Whats more, included in the ProFlightSimulator package are a lot of free updates which ensures that there is a constant stream of content which means this game will be fun for a long time to come!
The Cons
Depending on your internet connection, it could take a little time to download
The size of this download package is not small at all and if you have slow internet connection it may take you a couple of hours to download the simulator.
In this case it may be a good idea to upgrade to the DVD edition (you can do it at the members' area).
May Be A Little Overwhelming At First
Just because there are so many different aircraft and maps, the members' area can be overwhelming when you first start playing. However the downloads are organized well and once you get started, you will find it is not difficult at all to experience all this game has to offer!
A Simulation, Not an Arcade Game
This is a benefit in my opinion, however some people may prefer an "arcade" version of a flight simulator. Before you can fully appreciate real flight simulator games you have to learn the many controls. If instant gratification is more your preference (arcade style flying), ProFlightSimulator may not be for you. However, if you have the time and patience to devote to learning the ropes, many hours of hugely enjoyable REALISTIC flight simulation awaits you!
The Bottom Line
Overall, there is no doubt that ProFlightSimulator is one of the most realistic and fun flight simulators currently available in the gaming industry right now.
I went into this review somewhat skeptical of the large amounts of praise it has received from others, but I walked away very satisfied with this simulation. The game looks, sounds, and plays better than any other flight simulator on the market, and has more planes, helicopters, locations, and options available to you. It will keep even the most hardcore gamer busy for a long time exploring the beautiful planet we Earth!
All in all, this is a great game that will appeal to newbie and veteran flight simulator fans alike! :-)
