Pro Flight Simulator - General Dynamics F-16

The name Pro flight Simulator should give it away, but this home flight simulator really is the first choice for professional flyers and amateur pilots alike. When you are not able to get out in the air, you can do nearly the same thing, at home, with this program.


Flying a real General Dynamics F-16 is not in the cards for most of us.  Experiencing the adrenaline and a feel of flying one may be. The Pro Flight Simulator is a full flight simulation computer program that allows you to be in control of your very own F-16. So what are the differences between the two? Not many.
Just like a real Fighter Falcon, this home flight simulator has the same handling and control panels, and maneuverability.

The plane is designed exactly like a real Fighter Falcon. Single engine, multipurpose workhorse, capable of Mach 1 speeds and complex maneuvers, this is a difficult plane to replicate, but it has been done. The program allows you to fly your Falcon over accurate terrain, practice take offs and landings, and even fly with your friends online. The program offers maps and information based on military data, so you can really get in on the action, from your home.


When flying a real plane, you can scan the area as needed, from your cockpit, and the game does not disappoint with its 3D cockpit views. You can practice handling your plane in all kinds of weather and even design your own terrain.  The control panels and cockpits are the same as a real Falcon, down to the thirty-degree angle of the pilot seat. Many pilots and military servicemen actually use this program during training and off time to keep their skills sharp. That’s how lifelike and accurate the program is.


We do not all have the opportunity to fly any airplane, much less a Fighter Falcon, but with this simulator, we have the chance to fly not just an F-16, but over one-hundred and twenty different airplanes and helicopters. So while it may not be an actual F-16, this is the best flight sim to give you that adrenaline pump you get while flying one. Plus, after you land, you can go straight to dinner! Or happily bask in the great feeling of flight. Either way, you will not get any closer to flying an actual General Dynamics F-16 than with ProFlight Simulator downloaded to your home computer.
