Pilot Academy

This product is also called Pilot ni Narou! Flying All-Stars in Japan.

Background

Pilot Academy is an extension of the very popular Japanese flight simulation series Pilot Ni Narou. The game will offer both civilian and military flight simulation, with both single-player missions and challenges and multi-player aerial combat and battles.

Gameplay

Four eras of combat plane are represented – from World War I, through World War II, and The Cold War, to modern-day combat, each with their own challenges. All types and sizes of civilian planes are on offer – from crop sprayers to massive 300-seater passenger jets, and everything in between – with appropriate challenges for each class. Stunt aircraft will test dexterity, whist commercial aircraft will demand other skills – such as emergency landings in fierce conditions. The game features three regions to fly over, mapped over about 64 square kilometers of terrain.
