THE BEST GAMING COCKPITS SINCE 2006
Once Wilbur and Orville Wright proved that flight was possible, the race was on to build not only the best airplane, but also the most comfortable. Like anything humans invent, once one milestone is reached, the push is on for more. Slowly, innovations in planes took place that have resulted in the behemoths you see flying today, able to hold hundreds of people or transport thousands of pounds of cargo easily across the world.
Yet with all that power comes responsibility, and when you have the lives of hundreds of people in your hands, you need to be prepared and to train. Thus, the invention of the flight simulator way back in 1910 has given pilots the opportunity to practice and hone their skills in a controlled environment where no lives are at stake. Risks can be taken that otherwise would not be, and scenarios can be run that would be impossible to practice in real life conditions. Fast-forward a century and now flight simulators have been converted into the gaming world so that everyday people can satisfy their need for speed.
Obutto has been making the best flight simulator cockpits since 2006. Our flight simulator cockpits are specifically designed for hours of use by incorporating the latest in ergonomics. From a real, comfortable sports car seat that is fully adjustable to foot rests and keyboards that can be placed at the right length away, our flight simulator cockpits will have you flying high with ease. Below, we’ll take a look at reasons why you should try flight simulator games, and contact Obutto for your best simulator cockpit today!
WHAT ARE FLIGHT SIMULATOR GAMES?
Simulator games in general have the goal of replicating as closely as possible the real world activity. This can be used for training purposes, or, in the case of flight simulator video games, for entertainment and fun. Begun in the 1980s with BMX and Grand Prix simulator games, these video games have only continued to explode in popularity.
Flight simulator games specifically replicate flight. There are in general two types of flight simulator games:
- Combat flight simulator games. These simulator games specialize in military aircraft and combat missions.
- Space flight simulator games. These simulator games specialize in space flights that simulate realistic flights in spacecraft.
REASONS TO INVEST IN FLIGHT SIMULATOR GAMES
Experience What It’s Like to Be a Pilot
Many people harbor dreams of learning to fly. Being up in the sky gives you a freedom that is hard to find elsewhere. You can go where you want to go whenever you want. You can fly to exotic locales and experience life there. And you can have adventures that you just can’t have on land. After all, it’s pretty cool to be able to land on an atoll in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
However, many people never get the chance to learn to fly. Taking flight lessons and/or going to flight school is expensive, especially if you only plan to fly as a hobby. If you work a full-time job and have a family, you probably don’t have the time. Besides the time commitment of going to flight school, there is also the number of hours you have to log in order to get your pilot’s license, which can be intense. Finding the time to invest is a bit of a hindrance to those yearning to fly.
By investing in a high-quality flight simulator game and a top-notch flight simulator cockpit such as those offered by Obutto, you can be right in the thick of things. You can go all-out for virtual reality gear, or you can keep it simple with just the game and your flight simulator cockpit.

For example, they will add in actual airports you can fly in and out of and beautiful scenery you can fly in and around. Most importantly, add-ons can give you a very realistic interior of an actual fighter jet or airplane, which only adds to the thrill of the game. For example, if you’ve always wanted to fly a Boeing 747, you can with flight simulator game add-ons. Included are the flight management systems and fuel systems to the hydraulics and air conditioning, which allows you to learn how to operate these aircraft.
Another added feature is you can fly with other pilots, which is what happens in the real world with a pilot and a co-pilot, so you get an incredible sense of actually flying these powerful machines.

Not only is this great training if you are a pilot, but it gives those who have always wanted to fly certain aircraft the opportunity to do so.

You Will Learn A Lot About Aviation
While many video games are mindless fun, which is why a lot of people play video games, playing flight simulator games will teach you a lot about flying. Every aircraft is different, and by flying different aircraft you will learn a ton about airplanes. You will learn how air traffic control works, how planes fly across oceans, how to take off and land, and how to fly in inclement weather. You will prepare flight plans, flight systems, and real-world procedures. You’ll learn how to operate an airliner and read manuals. In fact, if you play flight simulator games on a regular basis, you will have the knowledge of an amateur pilot without ever having stepped onto a real aircraft. For those on the fence about becoming a professional pilot, spending some time playing flight sim games in a superb flight sim chair can help you make that decision.
Flights can be long, which is the same in flight simulator games, so you want to be comfortable while you are sitting for a long time.

For those who love flight simulator games, they are fun. Not only do you get to experience flying, but you also have the satisfaction of flying successfully. You can play with your friends, fly anywhere in the world, and see new sights. You can come across another player flying a plane or run across a real commercial jet flying in real time. Or, some flight simulator games let you do complex aerial moves and dogfights with friends, download over 20,000 airports, and take off and land like a pro in all sorts of weather conditions.

HOW TO GET STARTED IN FLIGHT SIM GAMES
Getting started in the world of flight simulator games takes a bit of work upfront, but it’s worth it to achieve the most realistic flying conditions. Below are some of the most essential pieces you will need for a flight simulator game.
Flight Controls, Instrument Panels & Gauges
Metal flight controls will offer you more stability and provide a more realistic touch, as well as a superior flight simulator experience. However, plastic flight controls are cheaper and more popular, especially for the beginner just looking to get their foot in the door so to speak. You can also get as sophisticated as you want with the instrument panels and add on as many as you wish as well. Obutto recommends that you find the right amount for you without being overwhelmed by it all.
Yoke or Joystick
Joysticks are very popular for flight simulator gaming enthusiasts, especially if you love combat simulator games since it more accurately portrays a combat plane. Joysticks include a throttle, rudder controls, and various buttons for maneuverability. You can invest in a joystick with a ‘hat switch’, which is used to scan the cockpit and all other directions. However, a high-quality yoke will give you full control over a commercial aircraft. In the end, some flight simulator enthusiasts have both, but truly it comes down to what you like to fly the most.
Rudder Pedals
Rudder pedals allow you to control your plane’s rudder and toe brakes. You have control of your aircraft both in the air and on the ground, assisting in steering and braking. Rudders are an invaluable part of landing in real aircraft, so having rudder pedals will not only give you more control over your aircraft, but you will also feel more like you are flying. Rudders primarily control yaw, or the rotation of an airplane on its vertical axis. Thus, if you want to take your flight sim games to the next level, a rudder pedal will be essential.
Obutto’s Ergonomic Flight Simulator Chair & Desk
Now that you have all of the components essential to flying your aircraft during your flight simulator games, you’ll need a desk and chair to host them. Obutto brings all of the elements you will need to play a flight simulator game in one package with our all-in-one ergonomic flight simulator cockpit.
