Apple Flight Simulator?

[magicMac]

now that apple are doing 3D mapping in many cities around the world, I wonder if they could use this to build a flight simulator!

I don't see a connection between mapping and flight simulators.

Apple really doesn't do games, and I don't think there's much of a market for flight simulators these days.

For sure, its more of a Microsoft thing, better stick to Microsoft Flight sim

If anyone would do that it would probably be Google... They did it a while ago with Google Earth and I don't see why they couldn't do it again with the new Google Maps Street View and what not.

I was big on flight sims a long time ago now. Just as with real aviation, drones seem to be the in thing, a lot more fun to fly a Parrot or any one of the dozens of other flying smartdevice-controlled flying toys out there than to fly some pixels.

Tell that to X-Plane 10 users. That and Infinite Flight rate/rank pretty highly in the iOS charts. Mac and PC also sell a lot of copies of it. I agree though - Apple don't make games.

X-Plane, and Prepar3d. Both are very strong simulators with a large and vocal community.
