Flightprosim Review
Aircraft Flight simulation fans are in for a real treat with the newest game on the market, which we’ll cover in detail in this Flightprosim review. The first thing you notice about FPS upon firing it up is the stupendous wealth of options at your disposal.
Flightprosim was a massive project, which was undertaken by a team of developers over several years, and it certainly shows in the incredible depth this game has to offer.

When reviewing a game, we like to test out every facet of the game, and explore everything it has to offer, but that just wasn’t possible for this Flightprosim review.
There are just too many planes, too many areas to explore, and too many different options to be able to fully test out within a realistic time frame. This is of course a great thing for the player, as there’s a near limitless amount of gameplay available.
When beginning our Flightprosim review our first choice was to decide which aircraft to choose. Because there are nearly 100 different planes to choose, there was no way we could test them all, but we did test out aircraft from each major category included with the fully featured version of the game.
This includes airliners, helicopters, fighter jets, small passenger jets, classic aircraft from the past, zeppelins, and more.
Each different aircraft offered a truly unique simulation experience. Taking off and landing was always different, turning and manoeuvring the aircraft was also substantially altered between models, and the options available to play around with varied based on the aircraft chosen.
Each aircraft also possessed a realistic cockpit and exterior.
A nice touch is the ability to change the camera view to give yourself different angles while flying. Some purists may dislike this feature, as after all you’re supposed to be in the cockpit flying, not viewing the plane from up in the clouds, but this was in fact one of the most enjoyable things to do while playing around with the game for this Flightprosim review.
The different angles give you glimpses of the surrounding landscape that you simply wouldn’t get otherwise.
The landscapes are really quite beautiful, using a combination of Google Maps for highly populated areas, and 3-D models for wilderness and other regions. One of the most impressive areas we encountered during our Flightprosim review was Paris, France, which was entirely modelled in 3-D.
It was an impressive sight, and far more interesting than just the static images on Google Maps. The landscape regions were dotted with mountains and trees were also highly enjoyable to fly over.
On top of the massive world to explore, which includes virtually the entire globe, save for a few small stretches of ocean where there is nothing to see, and the vast number of aircraft at your disposal, there are also a multitude of options which can be tinkered with to endlessly alter your playing experience.
You can also change the weather patterns, speed up or slow down the passage of time, and even enable random events to occur, which could lead to a malfunction aboard your aircraft. Toss in the potential for online play, and the possibilities are endless.
We walked away from our Flightprosim review incredibly impressed by the package on offer. This sim dwarfs even the mainstream offerings from major companies like Microsoft, and stands alone as the most fully featured and rewarding flight sim currently on the market.
