ProFlightSimulator Review - What Exactly Is This Package?

Before I go into details, lets take a look at the impressive stats. ProFlightSimulator comes complete with a fully realized and modeled 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 modeled. Nearly 120 planes were available at the time of this ProFlightSimulator review, and 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 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 Aircrafts and Maps: I was impressed with the most was the professional, fully detailed, Real Life flight sim with support for over 20,000 of the worlds airports, extensive scenery packs as well as120 different planes from Concords, F16s, Migs, airliners and more.
• Very Useful Bonuses: When you order ProFlightSimulator you will also receive these 3 bonuses which no other flight sim package offers: 1. Interactive Scenery Designer, 2. Kelpie Flight Planner, 3. Free Combat Flight Simulator Game
• Great Multiplayer Options: ProFlightSimulator has an online component 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 60 days money back guarantee and if you are not completely satisfied with what you get, you will receive your money back.
• Free Updates For Life: What's more, included in the ProFlightSimulator package are free updates which ensures that there is a constant stream of content which compliments the package more.

The Cons

• It May Take Time To Download The Package: The size of this download package is not small and if you have slow internet connection it may take you a couple of hours to download all the blueprints. 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 aircrafts and maps, the members' area can be a little overwhelming at first. However the downloads are organized by category and once you get started, you will find it is not difficult to find what you are looking for.

The Bottom Line

Overall, there is no doubt that ProFlightSimulator one of the best value flight simulators available on the market.

We went into this review somewhat skeptical of the high praise it has received from others, but walked away happily converted. The game looks, sounds, and plays better than any other flight sim on the market, and has more planes, locations, and options available to boot. It will keep even the most devoted gamer busy for months, exploring the beautiful planet we call home.

All in all, this is a great game that will appeal to new and veteran flight simulation fans alike.
