Flight
Simulation
The power of today’s
home computers means
that flight simulation on
a home PC is now both
realistic and inexpensive.
The following information
should be helpful if you
are thinking about getting
airborne on your PC.
Aircraft from every era of aviation
can be experienced in a home
PC simulator with an impressive
degree of realism, whatever your
preferences, and flight simulation
places no restrictions on what
or where you can fly. The entire
world is accessible, so it’s up to
you whether you visit your local
airfields in a light aircraft or pilot
a passenger airliner between
the world’s busiest international
airports.
PC flight simulation is certainly
not limited to aviation specialists
– you can take your flying as
casually or as seriously as you
like. Some of us enjoy leisurely
cross-country flights and short
hops in light aircraft or historic
planes, while others devote
countless hours of study to
mastering the complex cockpit
systems of modern jets and the
techniques of instrument flying.
PCs & simulation hardware
A stand-alone program (such as
Microsoft’s Flight Simulator) is one that
works ‘out of the box’. You can simply
install it on your PC and go flying.
A copy of Flight Simulator certainly
won’t leave you short of aircraft to fly or
destinations, but add-ons – or expansions,
as they are sometimes known – let
you customise different aspects of the
default Flight Simulator world according
to your own preferences. Add-ons are
additional programs designed to expand
the host Flight Simulator program with
specific features which either haven’t
been included, such as certain aircraft and
additional airport traffic, or which could
be improved – super-detailed airports,
specialised cockpit systems, flight
planners and so on. These are available as
boxed software on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
or by download over the Internet.
The existence of add-ons shouldn’t
suggest that Flight Simulator itself is
somehow lacking. Out of the box it’s
an amazing program for the price, but
it obviously can’t include a perfect
representation of every feature its
users might want!
Freeware refers to add-ons which are
created by enthusiasts for others to share
– and are totally free! Many are of the
highest quality and numerous websites
host libraries of freeware aircraft, airports
and other programs which you can
download and enjoy perfectly legally!
No one would ever claim that simulated
aviation can equal the real flight
experience but, given the constraints of
a home PC set-up, today’s simulations
are impressively realistic. A real-world
pilot can now practise a flight using
accurate representations of departure and
destination airports, flying over scenery
featuring actual photographs of the terrain
below, following navigation aids in their
correct positions, and encountering the
same real-time weather conditions as
exist along the route. Indeed, many pilots
do just this.
Regular reviews of flight simulation
software in the mainstream aviation
press, and the number of pilots now
involved in helping to develop these
programs, prove that flight simulation has
progressed well beyond what might be
considered a game.

Airliners
Complete mastery of passenger airliners is the dream of many
a simulated aviation enthusiast. The complexity of their cockpit
systems can be a challenge even for an experienced pilot,
and their sheer size and weight mean that flying these aircraft
will always demand total concentration.
