Since I love the flight simulator genre, a great jet fighter simulator is what I always wish for. Arcade games also offer jet fighter games. Certainly fun in their own right, but not quite boasting the level of realism I look for in aircraft games.

So while the audiences for a regular flight simulator and jet fighter simulator may seem to be different on the surface, there’s actually a large crossover between them. After all, anyone who loves aircraft would have to be immensely impressed jet fighters, the most technologically advanced aircraft on the planet. I finally found the one I’m looking for within Flight Pro Sim’s much larger flight simulator game.

I won’t go into the full Flight Pro Sim experience in much detail, but suffice to say that the game is quite impressive aside from its inclusion of fighter jets. The game is massive firstly, with a completely realized and accurate model of our entire planet. Each of the thousands of airports has been precisely furnished down to the smallest detail. Average flight simulators offer less than what was featured from this game, from the selection of aircrafts to the detailed appearance of each of it. This does of course include fighter jets.

Experiencing mach 1 in one of these speed demons is exhilarating. I took the F-15C Eagle out first, and the sense of speed, and tight control is outstanding. The learning curve is quite lenient, making these the perfect planes for beginners to the genre, though the sense of speed may through some off. You can blast straight up into the air, do barrel rolls, and swoop down and fly just over the water’s surface, parting the water behind you like the parting of the red sea. I sampled out one of five of the jets available, and there are still many to test from.

The one thing currently missing from Flight Pro Sim is an actual jet fighter simulator combat missions or capability, though the game is constantly being developed, and this functionality will likely be forthcoming in the future, hopefully sooner rather than later. While you can’t actually shoot down any planes yet, you can still fire and drop ordnance to help sharpen your skills for when you go. You could also engage in mock battles with other players over the game’s online mode.

If you’re looking for a great jet fighter simulator, Flight Pro Sim will certainly fit the bill. All of the elements are already in place for this to be one of the first true combat flight simulator game on the market, and a masterfully executed one at that. Take the opportunity to practice up now while you can, as the action will undoubtedly be fierce and unforgiving once airborne battles are a reality.
