In the few missions which do require you tolouch down on the tarmac, you simply head through a couple of floaty ring waypoints and the rest is done for you. Indeed, so overpowering is Heroes' arcadey flavour that you don't even have to worry about landing your bird.

Flight Sims Can be divvied up into two main categories: those that come supplied with a phone book-sized manual and require you to come supplied with an even larger beard, and those like Heroes Of The Pacific.
