X-Plane 10 Global Flight Simulator – The Flight Simulator With A Difference
In spite of a few hitches the X-Plane 10 Global Flight Simulator can very well be considered as a fantastic specimen of consumer software engineering. Though the incredible visual realism lacks in scientific simulator value it can really impress most hardcore gamers and is also a must play game for anybody addicted to virtual aerial combat simulations.
There are so many things in it that have impressed me like the ultra realistic aircrafts and the weather, high resolution texture with awesome roads and objects and a most impressive scientific simulator that takes maximum advantage out of the hardware acceleration as well as multi-core CPUs.
X-Plane 10 Global Flight Simulator Is Ultra Realistic
The X-Plane 10 Global Flight Simulator packs in ultra-realistic flight dynamics and offers a very significant improvement over its previous versions. From the very introduction of it X-Plane has always been the best scientific flight simulator available in the market and has the most sophisticated back-end programming with the most realistic weather replication and flight dynamics. But I must confess that it lacks in its graphical quality as the scenery and texture base is also quite ordinary along with the 2D cockpits.
Available Aircrafts
While discussing about the available aircrafts it must be mentioned that most of the airplanes from X-Plane 9 are included in X-Plane 10 Global Flight Simulator without any update. Though it is also possible to purchase and download advanced third party developed aircrafts for the X-Plane 10. But there is one respect in which the X-Plane 10 Global Flight Simulator significantly triumphs over its predecessors and that is its ability to take advantage of the multiple CPU cores and threads. This is of immense importance as it makes high resolution textures possible at a tolerable frame rate and if you really wish to have the entire world at your disposal it requires you to install 8 DVDs that contains more than 60 GB of data. This can really block a considerable amount of space in your hard drive but in comparison to X-Plane 9 it is a considerable improvement as it required you to install around 75 GB of data.
Improved Air Traffic Control
Another feature of X-Plane 10 Global Flight Simulator that has undergone a considerable amount of improvement is the advanced air-traffic control. The latest air-traffic control of X-Plane 10 allows you to dial the proper frequency and interact with the air-traffic control in real time and file your flight plan for a clearance.
Improved Scenery And Special Effects
Apart from the advanced ATC there are two other areas in which X-Plane 10 has undergone a great improvement over its previous versions and that is the improved scenery and special effects. But I must mention here that X-Plane 10 Global Flight Simulator is not the most novice friendly flight simulator games available in the market as it lacks considerably in explicit tutorials and in the in-game flight planning instructions.

Tom Clancy’s HAWX Review
Tom Clancy’s HAWX An Arcade Flight Simulator With A Difference
Tom Clancy’s HAWX is more an arcade style game than an airplane simulation game and can offer you a rewarding arcade style aerial combat experience.
The controls especially the ERS innovation is easily accessible and enjoyable at the same time. Though there are certain limitations which you are going to feel as you get most accustomed with the game play Tom Clancy’s HAWX still packs in a lot of fun for beginners as well as for hardcore gamers. The game can offer a lot of fun for solo flyers though regarding competitive multiplayer content it doesn’t has much to offer.

Satisfaction For Hardcore Gamers
There are a number of most impressive things in Tom Clancy’s HAWX that can easily satisfy hardcore gamers like the realistic aircrafts and almost natural environment, great audio to enhance the realistic experience along with great and action packed dog fighting. It is true that the different planes in the game do not offer as much variety as they should but the instant accessibility of the HAWX is indeed a lot of fun to play in short bursts. The uncomplicated controls work well enough and the Enhances Reality System or the ERS helps the pilot fly avoiding radar detection. That can be very effective for novice gamers but for the more experienced there is all the option of turning of all the automatic assistances and fly and control the aircraft manually which can always be more satisfying.
Available For Most Platforms
The most important thing about Tom Clancy’s HAWX is that it is available for most gaming platforms like Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Android, iOS and webOS. But with all the excitement and innovation I must mention that HAWX suffers greatly in terms of presentation and polish. Though the aircrafts are based on real life model there is hardly any difference in the flight experience and the environment too is less impressive. Using satellite technology to recreate the game topography can be considered as a nice idea but the pixilation that takes place during low level flying can be really annoying on Xbox 360 the frame rate tends to fall dramatically during intense battle scenes. Another aspect that deserves some reconsideration on the part of the developers is that the game is also depressingly characterless and tends to take itself a lot more seriously.
Tom Clancy’s HAWX – The Plot
A lot of gamers think that the plotline of Tom Clancy’s HAWX is a kind of bland and militaristic nonsense and to add to it the loading time is disturbingly long too. But with all its limitations Tom Clancy’s HAWX can be considered as a fine arcade style aerial combat experience and sounds and looks as good as it plays. But HAWX makes dog fighting over the iconic cities so easily accessible and enjoyable that I still had a lot of fun playing this game as it has something both for the novices and the seasoned campaigners. I think it is only fortunate that the multiplayer options in the game are so limited and all the aircrafts offer a more or less similar flight experience.
