I wasn\u2019t big on PC gaming during most of the 2000\u2019s so I missed out on a lot of the flight sims there. I did play the Ace Combat series and other arcade-like games on consoles, but Over G Fighters was the closest to a flight sim out of any of those. It provided just the right feeling I was looking for that wasn\u2019t too overly sim but still close enough that it made take-offs and landings a great deal of fun. Plus, it was always a challenge to land on an aircraft carrier.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www1.saitek.com\/uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/OverG5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1328\" alt=\"OverG5\" src=\"https:\/\/www1.saitek.com\/uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/OverG5-1024x568.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www1.saitek.com\/uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/OverG5-1024x568.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www1.saitek.com\/uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/OverG5-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www1.saitek.com\/uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/OverG5.jpg 1278w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>During the 30 minute Sky Sessions video I provide viewers with a look at what it\u2019s like to simply just fly.

I simply just show off what it\u2019s like to do the thing we all love to do, which is fly!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www1.saitek.com\/uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/OverG4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1329\" alt=\"OverG4\" src=\"https:\/\/www1.saitek.com\/uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/OverG4-1024x567.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www1.saitek.com\/uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/OverG4-1024x567.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www1.saitek.com\/uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/OverG4-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www1.saitek.com\/uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/OverG4.jpg 1276w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>I did have some fun though by landing in the middle of a soccer field, inside a stadium, with the F-35. I actually have only done that a few times and impressed myself by doing it so well for the first time in what feels like forever.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www1.saitek.com\/uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/OverG1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1330\" alt=\"OverG1\" src=\"https:\/\/www1.saitek.com\/uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/OverG1-1024x566.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www1.saitek.com\/uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/OverG1-1024x566.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www1.saitek.com\/uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/OverG1-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www1.saitek.com\/uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/OverG1.jpg 1278w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>I also show off the power of the F-22 and stylish look of an F-16 Thunderbird. By the way, I spent a minute trying to remember what the smoke button was when flying with the Thunderbird. Unfortunately I forgot that it needs to be equipped prior to flying.
