Do you dream of flying high in the wild blue sky? Are you ready to try your hand at a commercial plane or one of the many military aircraft? Ready to light up the afterburners in the night sky?

Here are few ways to try your hand at becoming a fighter pilot without having to go through the extensive flight training in the military.

Find a game that gives you authentic scenarios. You should want them to be so real and challenging that it keeps you excited and glued to the game.

Find realistic engines. The more realistic the engines the better you are able to envision yourself in the cockpit.

Each plane is diverse from the other. No two real types of planes fly the same nor should they in a game. You should experience a different feel with each plane.

You can learn to be a combat fighter pilot from the comfort of your own home any time you feel like it. No worries about losing your lunch from too many G’s either.

And to help you achieve this why not try Flight Simulator X Gold Edition with upgrades.
