Split from Flight Simulation

This was split from the flight simulation article in order to allow for more freedom for both home flight simulation / simulation video games, and flight simulation used in the aviation industry to provide the relevant information without stepping on each other's toes.

Headings?

What are the best headings to use such as aerobatic, non-combat, home, video game console in this article?--Darrelljon (talk) 16:54, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-sim games

Kerbal Space Program is not a flight simulator, I have removed it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.190.88.147 (talk) 07:23, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Control

We need a section about the controls include those that have yokes, pedals, throttle controls. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.234.68.156 (talk) 16:38, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Title?

This article's title seems very odd to me. Apparently the subject is part of WP:VG, as it sorted as such and the hatnote speaks of "the gaming topic". On the custom WP:VG/RS Google search engine I get three results when looking up "amateur flight simulation". I don't think this is s suitable title. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 16:58, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, it's a weird title. Perhaps something like flight simulation video game? I assume we need "video game" or "game" in there to disambiguate from flight simulations that aren't video game based? Sergecross73 msg me 17:07, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. And undetstanding.that "flight simulator" is being reserved for the aviation training aspect, this is probably better at "flight simulator game" Masem (t) 17:11, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I support any title that includes "video game" in the title. This is the key differentiator with commercial flight training software. Axem Titanium (talk) 17:20, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to flight simulation video game, article changed accordingly. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 11:58, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Soetermans: It's possible we can further refine it to Flight simulation game. There is no real life alternative; that would be a flight simulator. The "video" here is not strictly necessary. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:33, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with either title. There is Loopin' Louie though! soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 22:12, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Soetermans: Yeah well, it would be hard to call a board game a "simulation" as opposed to just a game about flight. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 03:29, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I made the last bit, hoping you would know I wasn't serious :) soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 08:51, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
