Flight Simulator
In flight simulators, the player becomes a pilot of an aircraft (airplane or helicopter). Special gamepads are created for such games, designed like the control stick of a modern combat aircraft. Some games provide the player with a complete sense of piloting from takeoff to landing after completing a mission, while others start and end missions right in the air. Most often in flight simulators, the user performs military missions, but there are also simulators of non-military vehicles. Additionally, controlling an airplane or helicopter can be part of some game, such as a military shooter.
