I did quite a big read up about this on the old forums and completly forgot about adding it to this forum, cheers! :)

I've got Pilot Ni Narou! 2 (see below), for the ps2, but have never got round to playing it! (i collect too many games!). I'll have a long play on it tonight and give my impresssions, as Pilot Academy will basically be a port of it!...

Pilot Academy is an extension of the hugely-successful Japanese flight sim series 'Pilot Ni Narou!' – directly translated as "Let's Become A Pilot!" – which first appeared in 1998 and has been released on both PlayStation and PlayStation 2. The game will offer both civilian and military flight simulation, with both single-player missions and challenges and multi-player aerial combat.

Pilot Academy is being developed by Kuju, with design duties handled by Pilot Ni Narou! series producer Junichi Kutsuzawa. This fusion of East and West development talent will ensure the game retains the spirit of the original titles whilst making the most of the PlayStation Portable's formidable hardware.

The game is built upon staggering technology, which represents the landscapes from 30,000ft down to landing – and with three regions to explore, each around 64km square, this handheld flight sim packs significantly more than its home console counterparts. Controls offer the complexity of piloting a range of aircraft without insisting players are double-jointed, and the game will provide specific vocal instructions for those who veer off course.

Pilot Academy begins with a series of training exercises which teach the basics of flight. From there, players can jump into the cockpit of commercial, private and military planes in a series of increasingly tough challenges and missions.

Four eras of combat plane are represented – from World War I, through World War II, and The Cold War, to modern-day combat, each with their own challenges. All types and sizes of civilian planes are on offer – from crop sprayers to massive 300-seater passenger jets, and everything in between – with appropriate challenges for each class. Stunt aircraft will test dexterity, whist commercial aircraft will demand other skills – such as emergency landings in fierce conditions.

Each successful completion of a challenge allows players to select other planes and scenarios, each unique to the class of aircraft they are currently piloting. Records and achievements are recorded, providing further incentive to replay missions and challenges for additional reward.

Up to eight players will be able to take part in four different multiplayer games – with the 'Deathmatch' mode available to any PSP owner, whether they own a copy of the game or not.

I also got "Pilot ni narou 2" and it΄s predecessor on the PSX which was sold in the western world as "Wing Over 2".
Good games, but totally difficult and although "Wing Over 2" is in english, I got absolutely no clue about the gamestructure - even worse with the PS2 successor.
Go for prop or jet, but can you switch later?
And only one gameprofile per memorycard...

And at PNN2 I`m stuck in a prop fighter mission, because I don`t know the mission goals. :angry:

And when PNN1 is "Wing Over 2", which game is "Wing Over 1" then? :blink:
