Flight

Though the iPhone and iPod touch have been graced with a spectacular flight simulator in the form of X-Plane 9, “fun” flying games have been comparatively few and far between on this platform. This week saw the release of two separate titles that aim not for realism but rather to let players enjoy flying under different conditions: the first, in commercial and military airplanes, and the second, in military helicopters.Makayama Media is the airplane version, giving you the ability to fly a Boeing 747, an Airbus A319, a Hercules C130 and a Lockheed-Martin F-16. Makayama’s formula is to drop you into a vehicle in the middle of an urban environment, give you an altimeter and speedometer, and tell you to achieve certain objectives: for instance, level one has you fly a plane under the Golden Gate Bridge, past Alcatraz such that your wing tip touches a lighthouse, and then to a landing at the San Francisco Airport.

Flight Deck: Reloaded puts you in charge of flight operations for your own little military. Direct planes and helicopters to their proper landing zones and launch additional aircraft into the wild blue yonder all while trying to avoid costing the taxpayer millions due to fatal mid-air collisions!
