Today, there are some exciting PC flight simulators available. A selection of these were created for consoles and others were created for arcade cabinets, however, they were mainly based around the PC platform.
The video game industry is active on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, and flight simulation games attract players in all countries of the world. Landing High Japan by Taito, illustrates this fact better than any other game. While it was distributed as a cabinet game, players can certainly hope for Taito to develop online flight simulators in the same vein. Landing High Japan featured actual maps from the airports at Haneda, Kansai, Fukuoka, Hiroshima and Shin-Chitose.
Several features made the game considerably more realistic. Conversations were simulated by way of a button marked speak. Players were forced to choose between five individual airliners, and each plane was based off an actual aircraft. Gamers could pretend they were really flying on All Nippon Airways. This is the sort of computer program that could make an excellent flight simulator online.
Taito released flight simulator software for the arcades called Midnight Landing in 1987 and in 1988, released a similar product called Top Landing, which was very similar.
Taito appeared to be waiting for the Power PC603e microprocessor, as it was 1999 before they released their second to last game for the arcades. Developing their hardware may result in a state of the art flight simulator game being released by them. In the meantime, Google has beaten them to it by releasing their own version.
Although Google flight simulator may not be the most advanced software, it could be used for you to become familiar with this type of gaming. An unusual feature of their software is a giant Easter egg and by pressing control+alt+A or similar keys, players can tour the world by flying either the F16 Viper or Cirrus SR22 utility plane. Their maps add a real life experience for the user.
If you are looking for extended features for flight simulators, Google's version is probably not the best choice. Their software does utilize Google Earth and makes the flying experience pretty realistic.
Sentou Yousei Yukikaze: Yousei no Mau Sora is the sort of game that fans hope eventually gets released as a fight simulator online. Yukikaze was originally developed for the Xbox, but it later joined a host of other Japanese flight simulators for PC. Few flight simulators have an organized plot, but this title was based around a popular anime series. Unfortunately, Yukikaze has not seen a North American release. This might be considered a strange marketing move. Anime and Manga have become very popular outside of Japan in recent years. However, niche games like this might struggle to find an export market.
