Learn To Fly Using SIM Flight Games
These simulation games are so popular and the latest graphics technology makes them so realistic that you will not realize you are at home and not in a plane.
You also can choose your aircrafts as you can fly an old bomber plane from world war one or try your hand at the latest stealth plane. This can make each situation new as the planes will all be different and you can fly something tiny or go all out with a cargo plane.
Software will also allow you to learn how to fly different types of planes as each will have its own strengths and weaknesses as well as different flying and fighting styles. Every time you master flying one aircraft you can learn another.
There is some software that specializes specifically in combat though most combat software is specially designed for specific time periods and fights such as the World Wars. Some of the more popular software includes X-Plane, Microsoft Flight SIM, Flight Pro SIM, Ace Combat, Warcraft and Red Barron. There is also some software that was designed just to learn flight and not combat and fighting.
Pedals and other controls make it feel like the real thing as these are used in actual planes. You will soon become a pro and for much less money than going out and taking flying lessons.
