Aircraft Flight Simulator Software Is It Good Or Bad?

Online, January 26, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Software has taken a huge leap in recent years with the advent of ever improving technology however has it now gone to far? The latest aircraft simulation software available for anyone to download for small fee can have you at the controls of ractically any aircraft and in the chosen city of your choice from over 20,000 locations across the world. This is all done with the full worldwide scenery based on the actual terrain, but Is this really a good thing with the ever present danger of terrorist attacks on our airports?

It could be said that any such software program like this can be used maliciously but most are for gamers and the like but with the recent high level alerts and threats on our airports this makes this particular software questionable as it can be used easily for malicious purposes. Any self respecting terrorist would obviously plan this sort of attack in great detail and with this program it goes into enormous detail of not only the airport but the surrounding areas. The game even accurately maps the solar system and the weather patterns are accessed in real time thus adding to true to life experience that the end used will get.

Airport security is for ever calling to be increased and recently Russia`s President Dimitry Medvedev announced that his country needs to beef up security at their airports in the wake of a recent suspected suicide bombing. Thirty five people where killed in this attack with over 110 injured but just how easy would it be for a terrorist to use this software to make a planned air attack directly on any airport of their choice.

We can only hope that this software will stay in the hands of those dedicated gamers it was meant for or for those just wishing to experience the thrill of flying a plane on their own. Whatever happens it will be here to stay because we demand these high tech products and anything else will not make the cut.
