Quick question,
Does anyone know of any good Flight Simulation apps for the Android?
Thanks!
X-Plane is the one I know of, it's also available on iPhone.

How is it?
I'm not normally one to play/use flight sims, but it's a high quality one in my opinion, good graphics, smooth control on my desire, and fairly easy to use, but with a lot of options. check out the site if you wanted to know more about it, just google "xplane". That's the only one I know of on android too
X-Plane is the best one. You can choose your plane, your map your Weather... you control everythings in the plane... but it cost 10$...

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X is a nice arcade flight shooter, if it's of any interest to you.
X plane is good on graphics. But doesn't have many locales. Also, you can't practice instrument approaches. Only buy it if you want to play for fun.
There are some really good iPad apps for flight simulation. Android is still far behind in this realm. Hopefully there are more apps developing.
+1 With X-Plane, a great achievement on the Platform. Am still hoping for some Retro conversions, Birds of prey for example.

X-Plane is quite a good simulator here too, I mainly play it on my Nook Color tablet though.
Curious why you say you can't do instrument only approaches? there is an instrument view where you can set the different beacon settings and you can see your glide scope etc... At least I think so. I am not a pilot, and I pretty much suck at landings so I haven't tried it. I believe I saw it in their online usage guide too.
It'd be cool if it could cache Google Maps or something and fly over.. I know the desktop version has much more detailed data in this regard and a mobile app just won't be able to, but it'd fun flying over your own house.
Great information. I plan on trying out the different sims next week, Ill let you know what I think of them.
Cheers!
@khaytsus
I am a pilot, so for me just the 6 locales are not enough. But its a great start in developing such an app which makes use of the device's gyro. Worth the buy if you want the cockpit experience.
No way! Im a flight instructor at Embry Riddle had to get the CFI, couldn't stand ifr multi or commercial. Lol.

I don’t understand why gaming companies such EA, Capcom, Square Enix, etc don’t offer the same amount of games that we can easily find on App Store?
I used to have on my iPhone games like, SF 4, NBA Jam, Dead Space, Metal Slug, Dragons Lair a many others that I cannot find on Android market.
Is there any explanation for it? Android as far as I know is the most popular OS so why those companies don’t develop games to Android?
And I know I can get ROMs for some games (like Neogeo – Metal Slug, King of Fighters etc) but it’s not the same, those ROMs are not really developed for Android, they are adapted so for me we cannot have the best of it.
Wouldn’t be cool to have a SF 3D for O3D? or Dead Space 3D?
Which games, in 3D, would you like to see it?
The only big company that I can see doing a great job is Gameloft, apart from them the rest is rest at the moment.
Shame that they are not treating Android with respect.
Several studies have shown that Android users are much less keen on buying apps than iOS users. Therefore, the large gaming companies you mentioned probably estimate the market for complex Android games is too small to be lucrative.

Perhaps they are not willing to buy because there are no "good games" at the moment?
I have bought 3 3D from Gameloft and will be buy more from them very soon.
In my opinion it is just a matter of what the marketing is offering if there is good games people would pay for it.
I think it may also be because android users are innate hackers. Kind of kills their bottom line.
If we really get "Onlive" on our Android devices like it was announced, gaming is going to take another direction. Try "onlive viewer" and check what gaming is all about.

I don't agree with that, it would be same idea for game consoles.
The gamers know that it is possible to get pirate games online and unlock their consoles, but I do believe that it's not everybody that does that and the same you can say about Android.
You have millions of people using the system and it's impossible to think that all these people would be hacking their phones.
Even iPhones can be unlocked (Jailbreak - Cydia) where you can get free stuff as well.
I really don't see much of logic if this is what these companies are thinking.

I've seen the thread and it looks promising, I hope they will offer that officially to Android and hopefully people outside USA will be able to use this service.
It's going to be very cool!

Have you ever tried to hack an Xbox? I'm a pretty tech savvy Guy and I can't do it. It all hangs on security, and mobile phones lack it for the most part. I personally would release to xbla instead of a mobile platform.

Its pretty easy to hack wii/xbox360/ps3 i have done that on all my consoles easy to hack iphone also android everything are hackable! So thats not a good excuse that the big companys dont make the good games to android its all about money and tactics from apples side. But as seen now it very soon will change alot more ppl having android phones today. Apple is at top now but they are close to fall in near future a company are at top for awhile but sooner or later its going to fall. Also its another reason that apple will fall steve jobs have quited. He is pretty good to talk so he had done alot for the company just becouse of hes way to talk about apple product! so hopefully in near future the game companys see its alot money to earn at android too just look at gameloft they earn pretty good for those android games becouse thats quality games its worth to pay for!
Goodbye Steve. You've always been one of my heros.

I was never a fan of apple's products, but I respect this man for contributions during his time with us...Jobs has revolutionized the computer age, it's amazing how one man did so much, a true genius he is and will remain.
true
apple became apple because of jobs and apple is still in business because he came back to them.
i didnt really like his cockiness but there is no doubt he was a big part of where we are today in the computer industry.
and if any one needed the of apple part of the thread to know who steve jobs was, than they live in a cave
RIP Steve !
R.I.P. Steve Jobs. You will be missed.

It is true that many of our troops die fighting for our nation, however they do not share the same recognition as the man who has significantly impacted technology, he might have influenced some of the tech soldiers use now. I'm not saying troops don't deserve the same attention, because they do but won't be getting it.
Must have hit him hard when Samsung fired back just now and sued Apple to slow down their release of the iphail4s overseas.
RIP Jobs

I guess I should make a thread for every soldier who is killed in action. Sure, Steve Jobs contributed alot to technology, and he might as well be the Thomas Edison of our time, but soldiers deserve much more respect.

I believe your anger is wrongly directed!! Coming from a military background and a military family I have mad respect for the soldiers that fight and die for this country!! But its still ok to give credit and respect where they are due!! After all this is a technology site?? And what about all the soldiers saved due to the technology and innovations made by this man and all the future soldiers that will be spared because of the foundations this man has set in technology!!
RIP Steve Jobs! Thank you for your contributions!!

We may not have liked Jobs because of the iPhone, but, IMHO, if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have had Google to step it up and make Android what it is today.

Yea Steve and Bill are the founders of the PC era, regardless of their tactics. They have influenced the direction of almost everything technically related in this day and age. More importantly they produced strong competition and created a will to do better. They are, were, and forever will be my heroes.
On a lighter note, it was probably the release of the iPhone 4S that was the final nail in the coffin ("Where is the iFone [email protected]#").
Hehe. Thanks Steve. RIP.

Well I have some respect for him but your right, where is the love for the ones who sacrificed their lives so Apple can have a business.
I also don't think this is the place we should be talking about death.

Probably on a military-based website. This is a technology-based website where we discussing the death (and impact) of a death of one of its founders. Seems relevant.
Talking about dead military and those that died at war is not the topic and is what we should NOT be talking about as it is irrelevant. Neither is the topic of starving children or battered women or the economy... those have separate threads.

so you're saying the movie "Fight Club" was undeserving?
This game is like Def Jam, instead with kickboxers. On a side-note, Alistair Overeem will beat Brock Lesnar come Dec 30th.
Not if brock can tackle his ass, think brock knows better now not to stand up and turtle with strikers. Live and learn.
It freezes after a match... Anyone else having this?

Now that's what the **** I'm talkin' about!
Seeing Xperia PLAY Exclusive, fighting game, none of those bull**** touch controls, and online play all in the same sentence is music to my ears.
I now have like 400% more faith in this product, and are highly likely to buy when this update drops.
I do hope their mention of "amongst other things" means the production quality will be bumped way up, and I'm also hoping online play packs some kind of lasting appeal aspect. Just being able to kick someone's ass online for experience points leading up to a "Level Up" would do wonders; even if it doesn't actually increase any kind of stats.

Battle of steroids.. Brock will own Alistair w/his GnP skill.. TKO (punches) round 1 or 2.. But I hate Lesnar since his WWF/E days.. In fact I love to watch the replay of his fight against Cain.. But whoever wins on their match they have no chance against JDS.. What I want to see is Anderson Silva move up again to LHW division to face bones..
BTT
I hate games w/ in-app purchase but I will definitely try this game..
Bones will remain unbeatable for a long time, silva is tiny compared to him
And ya, i wouldnt be in a big rush to face jds.

I loved Lesnar's match against Angle when he went for a top rope moonsault & landed on his ****ing head!
Lesnar was FTW for the title & Angle had to carry his almost unconscious ass to the end.
Same as others.. I can only play 1 fight..
There's a 1.01 update for the game, it doesn't freeze anymore
Decided to go ahead and buy it in anticipation of the update that allows online play.
The only thing I'm disliking about it so far is that unlocking characters happens WAY too damn fast. All you do is play one career match, they set you up against someone you haven't unlocked... if you beat them, you unlock them.
I guess that is more time effective, but I'm used to having that whole sequence of playing through a whole arcade mode, unlocking one person, then you get the whole next playthrough to get accustomed to your new unlock. This way just sorta... feels like it devalues the experience of unlocking someone new. I blame Tekken for making me nitpicky about such a small thing
How i wish we can have Fight Night series like in IOS..

Google has their own services, that doesn't mean every other company with a similar service is automatically an enemy. They're competitors. If you look at it the way you are thinking now then every company out there is an enemy to all the other companies. Every company has it's own services it's trying to get out to the public, Google is no different.
Now I'm pretty sure almost everyone considers Apple an enemy since they like sue over anything and everything.
