Final Approach: Pilot Edition

Final Approach: Pilot Edition is a seated VR flying game in which you pilot aircraft from a chase-camera perspective, using a gamepad. You fly through missions in the sky while responding to challenges on the ground, including fires, aircraft repairs, battleship weapons, baggage handling and puzzles. Its 15 increasingly difficult levels take about 6–8 hours to complete and span four stages: Parrot Island, Metro Airport, Metro City and Midway.

Missions and modes

You can follow Story Mode or play Free-Play Mode. Missions include flying an F-16 through combat, guiding a low-fuel commercial jet through crowded airspace and taking a vintage Spitfire through hazardous terrain and obstacles. You also deal with burning planes, passenger aircraft running low on fuel, mid-air collisions, emergency rescues and military exercises, as well as an alien invasion.

Zoom points let you scale down to real-world size to handle tasks on the ground. These include fighting fires, repairing aircraft, firing battleship guns and missile launchers, managing baggage handling and solving puzzles.

Aircraft

The aircraft include F-16 and F-18 fighter jets, DCA-717s, A320 commercial jets, Messerschmitts, Spitfires, B2 stealth bombers, B17s, Predator drones, Heli UH 60 Gunners, HH65C Dauphins, Sikorsky Ch-54s and HH-60 Blackhawks. The skies also feature Blackhawk helicopters and biplanes.

Pilot Edition

Pilot Edition includes a copy of the original Final Approach for Tracked Motion Controllers. This edition uses a chase-camera view, with the aircraft controlled through the VR world using a gamepad; you fly behind the aircraft rather than inside its cockpit.
