Many of us, when asked when we were young about what we wanted to be when we grew up, would have said ‘Pilot’, at one point or another. Even though only a miniscule percentage of that crowd go on to actually work towards that dream. Man has always had a fantasy of soaring through the skies, with his flight in his control. Admittedly, the technology has not become so evolved that man can fly whenever he wants, how he wants and wherever he wants, but a pilot manning a plane is also pretty close, wouldn’t you agree?

So how can you learn to control a plane or a helicopter, before applying it in practicality, of course? The simple answer – flight simulator. It is a system that lets the user experience what it is like to pilot a particular type of airplane. Flight simulators are mainly used for pilot training. They replicate the equations that make an airplane fly and the aircraft’s response to flight control applications & external factors. External factors refer to turbulence, air density, wind shear, precipitation, cloud, and so on. Besides pilot training, they are also used extensively in the design & development of airplanes. Flight simulators are ideal for organizations engaged in aircraft crew training.

Microsoft’s Flight Simulator, which is a series of training programs, packaged as video games, is a product that might be very familiar to most gamers. It is one of the longest running and most popular flight simulator program available globally. The game has attracted a sizeable following owing to its depiction of flight controls and its ‘gameplay’. Giant firms such as Lockheed Martin have also had partnerships with this program. The ‘game’ has brought flight procedures and controls to living rooms, thus enhancing the appeal of flight simulators across the globe.
