Project Description
 I created this video about the aircraft simulator at the Palm Springs Air Museum. Its functions and controls are based on the pilot's actual cockpit. -Joshua Bell sophomore Digital Arts Technology Academy Cathedral City High School



Introduction
Airplane Simulators are computer programs which junior cadets use to practice on controlling and flying Airplanes. These Programs comes with a joystick controls that suppose to be connected to the computer. As much as they have almost the same controls as the video game, It's not actually a video game. Microsoft is the first company that made an aircraft simulator, but there are other ones with different joysticks and graphics. These type of program are also often use as target practice before the cadets are ready for the war. The simulators are based on World War II and each different simulators takes place in different countries. There are even some simulators that have a choice of planes you wanna practice with.

Controls
The controls on the Joystick are similar to the real controls on an actual airplane but it's more simple. Whenever you turn the joystick the plane in the computer can respond in a same way as the real plane does.To turn the plane left or right, you need to turn the joystick sideways. When you pull back on the joystick, the plane goes up and the speed decreases. If you push the joystick forward, then the plane goes down and the speed increases. If you went up too long the plane will do a "Stall." A Stall means the air speed decrease to zero and the plane will fall right out of the sky, so you need to lower the nose and increase the air speed in order to keep it from happening. On the top of the joystick, there are triggers which will shoot out bullets or missiles.

Gameplay
As you know, The objective is to shoot down every plane that are from any different country. Each different opponents comes up with different tactics to shoot you down. You must avoid getting beaten and shoot all of the planes down at the same time. Usually the planes form a V-shape position so they can shoot together at you. The numbers that appear on the plane represent how far you are away from the target. The number that are the less, the closer you are to the target, which will give you a perfect chance to shoot the plane down, but most likely you'll get hit by the opponent. The number that are the most, the farther you are from the target, but will get the less chance that you'll get hit. ==
