This isn't really an Engineering question more rather an an aero question. What is a good Flight Simulator other than the real thing, (commercially, ranging between $100- $1,000). Anyone have ideas (for PC)
Good Flight Simulator for PC | $100-$1000
In summary, a good flight simulator for PC should have realistic graphics, a wide range of aircraft and airports, accurate flight dynamics, customizable settings, and engaging missions. While a high-end computer can enhance performance, there are options available for lower-end computers. Flight simulators can be used for training purposes, but cannot replace actual flight training. There are budget-friendly options available, and most simulators are compatible with joysticks or controllers. It is important to check compatibility and read reviews before purchasing.
