Must be nice to have a guaranteed audience like that. There is no shortage of these games, but this one here stands out for many reasons and is fun if you are an aviation enthusiast or someone like me who just likes to mess around with cool-looking planes!
The game was released as part of the celebrations of the th anniversary of the Wright Brothers and you can even fly that plane in this game! It features many different kinds of aircraft from years of flight which is really cool. Even cooler is that each of the planes handles differently. I am no flight expert, but I found this to be cool and trying to fly the Wright Brothers plane and go on their first flight was not only really awesome but very challenging too.
The number of times I smashed that thing into the ground after just a few seconds was insane, but I mean that in a good way. At the time this was a very graphically impressive game and I think it holds up pretty darn well to this day, to be honest with you. If you want to learn how to fly a plane in real life then I think this would be a good place to start! The number of things you have to do and keep an eye on is insane, but part of the challenge. The game offers flying lessons which I found pretty easy to understand and they are also really handy in that they are basically the tutorial of the game.
Ok so I played the game just using the keyboard and eventually I got the hang of it, but the word simulator is in the name of Microsoft Flight Simulator Century of Flight for a very good reason. This is a game that has a lot going on. While I got into it with the keyboard just fine.
I have heard that you can get a very expensive flight stick which makes the experience even better. Being the cheapskate, I am no way I am buying a flight stick just for a handful of games!
You can take flying trips all over the world which is really cool. There are various challenges to complete such as certain maneuvers like flying over a bridge for example. There are weather effects that you have to take into consideration too which are incredibly well done.
Especially more so when you consider that the game is 15 years old! In all, it has more than enough to keep any flight enthusiast very busy and happy. However, the whole Wright Brothers thing really did spark my interest and as a result, I found myself getting into what the game has to offer. It does have a rather large difficulty curve to learn how to fly, but that is just part of the challenge. Exactly years ago today, mankind finally told Mother Nature and her physical constraints to kiss his hairy, fat arse as the Wright brothers took to the skies in a rickety wooden death trap for a magnificent 12 seconds.
To celebrate this momentous occasion in man's idiotic legacy, Microsoft is dedicating its latest version of the popular Flight Simulator range to a history of the last century of unnatural soaring. Glossing over the fact that strictly speaking, cal the game maxes it years of flight, Microsoft's E3 presentation stressed that as much of the last years of aviation is represented as possible. Taking FS as a starting point, FS contains recreations of everything from the Wright's original flyer, through such legends as Charles Lindbergh's record-breaking Spirit Of St Louis, Amelia Earhart's Vega 5B and more recent long-haulers such as the DC-3, right up to modern jumbos and choppers.
What's more, all of the famous flights made by these pioneers are included. We were lucky enough to get behind the stick on the Wright's Flyer and not only equalled their 12 seconds but went so far beyond, we were about to pull off a barrel roll until it was pointed out that collision detection was switched off and we were playing in simpleton mode.
Aside from the history, Microsoft has upped the bar with the technical elements. Weather has had a complete overhaul, with stunning storm and cloud effects, plus brand new weather 'themes' - letting novices bypass the complicated dewpoint level and barometric pressure screens. You can even continually download real-world weather conditions as you fly for added realism.
