Each game genre is beautiful and unique in its own way. They all differ from each other in mechanics and gameplay, consisting of many special elements. Flight simulators for PCs are one of the rarest and most individual game genres that can provide gamers with a ton of new experiences from the process itself. Today we will consider the most interesting projects.
Background
In the recent 2005 (and earlier) all flight simulators for PCs were unrealistically difficult in terms of passing and controlling a flying machine. The following games were especially popular in those years: IL-2 Sturmovik, Lock On and SU-27. But, strangely enough, these same games were loved for their extreme level of complexity. Imagine the joy a user experiences at the time of a successful landing of his plane after an unusually long mission? In this format, all flight simulators for PCs in the recent past were presented.
Current situation
At the moment, the situation has changed dramatically, mainly due to the fact that almost all games have acquired features of casualness (in other words, simplicity and ease, accessibility). This contributed to the widespread dissemination of all genres among different age groups of the population, because now both a child and an adult could cope with management and get a piece of impressions from the game. On the PC, flight simulators are present in the form of the following projects: Tom Clancy's HAWX (1 and 2 parts), Ace Combat, Combar Wings and World Of Warplanes. Each game is unique and attractive in its own way. It is recommended to pay special attention to the first and last project, which we will do now.
Full realism
This series of games is characterized by an enviable share of realism and believability: all the maneuvers, characteristics and behavior of the aircraft correspond to reality. In addition, HAWX has beautiful graphics and an interesting storyline, during which the player will open new aircraft models and their combat arsenal. Military action takes place in different parts of the world (this is a hallmark of any Tom Clancy's game). You can enjoy spectacular landscapes and landscapes, ranging from snow-covered mountains to green plateaus. Such flight simulators for PCs include a complete single-player campaign with a variety of tasks.
Multiplayer battles
PC flight simulators of 2013 are distinguished by their focus on multiplayer battles. Not so long ago, the company Wargaming.net (they also released the popular game World Of Tanks) introduced the world to its next creation of a multiplayer character called World Of Warplanes. The whole essence of the battle is the complete destruction of all enemy pilots (the number of which is equal to 15) or ground targets. There are no difficulties with controlling the aircraft, its take-off and landing. Everything is extremely simple and intuitive. The action itself begins literally a minute after the plane rises into the air. The contractions here are truly colorful and exciting. Today, the development of flight simulators as a separate game genre continues to gain momentum and popularity, especially because of the multiplayer component.
