Are Online Flight Simulators Influenced by Arcade Developments?

By Clare Johnson


There are a number of great PC flight simulator games on the market now. Some of these were originally designed for consoles, whilst others were previously distributed in arcade cabinets. The majority of them were probably deployed solely on the PC platform.

This niche is popular all around the world and one of the most popular games is Landing High Japan by Taito. This was originally designed as a cabinet game. People who are aware of this game are hopeful that Taito will create an online flight simulator. When they produced Landing High Japan, it was very surreal and featured real life airports and maps of Kansai, Haneda, Hiroshima, Shin-Chitose and Fukuoka.

There were many exceptional features including speech simulation, where users just had to press a button to turn this feature on, helping to make the game experience extremely realistic. The planes were based on original aircraft and players were able to choose which one they wanted to fly. Users flew on All Nippon Airways and it was felt that this sort of computer program would be ideal as an online flight simulator

Interestingly enough, this was not the first time that flight simulation software came to the arcade. Taito's work on Landing High Japan was a revival of the 1987 arcade title, Midnight Landing. Top Landing was released in 1988, and that game also featured similar game play.

In 1999, Taito released their last but one arcade game. They appeared to be waiting for the Power PC603e microprocessor, which was needed to run the game proficiently. Flight simulator users are waiting patiently for them to release an internet version. Google has developed its own version of a flight simulator which you may want to check into.

When first starting out with flight simulator software, a good choice could be Google flight simulator, although it is not considered one of the best, it will enable you to become familiar with this type of software. The latest version actually contains an Easter egg and by pressing certain keys, you can activate this. You are given the choice of flying either an F16 jet or an SR22 prop plane, with the obvious speed difference and their visual maps create a great experience of actually flying.

Google's software is pretty popular, although employers are not happy about its release as their employees are often found trying it out at work when they are supposed to be working. If you are serious about your flight simulator software, you may want to look at obtaining a more advanced version of this type of software.

There is a popular game by Sentou Yousei Yukikaze, entitled Yousei no Mau Sora, which flight simulator fans hope will be released online. This game was created for Xbox and eventually joined other Japanese PC flight simulators. The best part was that this game was based alongside the anime series, although unfortunately, it was not released in North America. The reason for this is unknown as Anime and Manga have become well-known outside of Japan. Perhaps niche games of this sort may not be popular elsewhere.
