Playing high-quality flight simulation games is one thing, but feeling a full-motion flying journey in real flight simulators is a way more extraordinary experience. A flight simulator is a physical machine, which uses AI-powered functions to re-create aircraft flight and the exact environment in which it flies.
There are many flight simulators located worldwide. Usually, it is possible to find flight simulators in some aviation museums or even at the airports. Flight simulation is a perfect opportunity to feel the real piloting experience for entertainment or training. Take a look at five flight simulators, which will surely create the most enjoyable flying experience ever.
