Take Off - The Flight Simulator reviews

I sincerely advise against this game. Despite its very low price, it is not worth it. I bought it by looking for a more accessible flight simulation than a Flight Simulator. First bad point: this game is not a simulation. The controls are summarized in the essentials: basic directions, basic flaps, brakes, engine and landing gear. And good luck to direct your cockpit with the keyboard (and QWERTY as no way to reconfigure the keys). Of course, it remains the Xbox controller, more sensitive but the game does not seem to recognize the buttons L and R that are supposed to control the power of the reactors. Good luck taking off with this. As for the instruments, it is the same: an artificial horizon and a radar are the only ones that are not there for the cockpit Deco. The speed, the position of the trains and the flaps appear in a window above and nowhere else, which gives more the impression of piloting a toy than a real airplane. The physics of the airplane is at the same level: it is particularly difficult to land without engines (a height) because in take off, cutting the engines is like cutting the magic that made the airplane fly: in less than two, it falls like a stone, backwards and counter to the principle of buoyancy or aerodynamics. The principle of buying and flying its planes as in its own airline was yet appealing. The game is too bad so we can enjoy it. The sensations of the airplane are bad, the gameplay is bad, while these are the central points of a flight simulation. Don't be fooled by the affordable price, take off will be nothing more than a waste of memory on your disk.
