Pro Flight Simulator is a payware version of the freeware Flightgear simulator. With the latter, you get what you pay for; with the former, you get less than you pay for.



For real-world aircraft in normal flight, Microsoft Flight Simulator is the most realistic. For experimental aircraft, theoretical aircraft, and aircraft in aerobatic or unusual flight regimes, X-Plane may be slightly more realistic, although it is less realistic for normal flight in normal planes. MSFS has the best selection of third-party add-ons and the best visuals. X-Plane will run not only on Windows but on some other platforms as well. MSFS is no longer in development, which means that no updates are forthcoming (but neither will it become obsolete). X-Plane is in active development.



Perhaps the best configuration is MSFS with all the add-on trimmings: add-on aircraft, add-on scenery, add-on weather, flight controls such as a yoke, throttle, and rudder pedals, and perhaps even multiple monitors and/or TrackIR. You can spend anywhere from $19 to $19,000 on it, depending on how far you wish to go.

The best home flight simulator is Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it is almost the same program they use in the real full motion flight sims.



X-plane is another good one.



Flightgear is okay, but not the best.



Flight Simulator X is the best you can get.

Stay away from ProFlight Simulator.



It is a total rip off. The Australian site selling it now is promoting, a 60 day money back, no questions asked, guarantee. I exercised my moneyback guarantee after I could not get it to work on a MAC or a PC running Win 7 (64) [both are supported according to their site] and I have heard NOTHING - Have received NOTHING. Not even a kiss before they stuck it to me.



They do not respond to their customer service emails (what they call tickets) and the software they are pushing with the package does not work at all - but they don't tell you that until after you pay for the product. You can not even install this package it is so screwed up.



You have been warned... wish someone had warned me before I dumped $128 into their 'guaranteed' package!

ProFlight is indeed FlightGear. It was simply boxed and sold despite the fact that it is availiable for free elswhere. Avoid.

For eyecandy, the MS flightsims, for absolute realisim in terms of flight physics then X Plane. Also have a look at Orbiter, not srtictly a flightsim but very cool nontheless (and free)

Hope this helps :)

Do NOT buy pro flight simulator, it is garbage. I bought it a few weeks ago and the graphics are terrible. I own Flight Simulator X and it is the best, and I mean best!

X Plane has the most realistic flight modeling.

I just asked for my money back - if they don't comply, I'll just contact PayPal and have the charges reversed - any way, I'll come out on top!
