Final Approach: The Ultimate Air Traffic Control Simulation in VR
Prepare for takeoff with Final Approach, the immersive VR game that puts you in charge of the skies. As an air traffic controller, you’ll be responsible for managing a bustling airspace filled with commercial airliners, private jets, military aircraft, and more. With a host of challenges to overcome, including emergencies, bad weather, and even alien invasions, Final Approach will test your skills and keep you on the edge of your seat.
God Mode: Control the Skies
Final Approach gives you complete control of the skies around the airports and islands as you tower over the world in what the game calls “God Mode.” Using the HTC Vive or Oculus Touch motion controllers, you can reach up and grab an aircraft, drawing paths from one side of the room to the other to get the aircraft to their designated runways.
In addition to managing aircraft, you can use zoom points throughout the game to get up close and personal with various aspects of the terrain. Scale down to real-world scale, where you can fight roaring fires with water hoses, interact with the guns and missile launchers of battleships, sort luggage, scare off seagulls with air horns, and solve puzzles required by the game.
Toy Mode: Hands-On Action
In addition to God Mode, Final Approach also features a “Toy Mode” that lets you get up close and personal with the action. In this mode, you can shrink down to the size of an airplane and fly through the skies yourself. You can also interact with objects in the world, such as firefighting hoses and missile launchers.
Challenging and Rewarding Gameplay
Final Approach offers a variety of challenges to keep you engaged. You’ll need to manage air traffic, avoid collisions, and deal with emergencies such as fires, storms, and alien invasions. The game also features a variety of puzzles that you’ll need to solve in order to progress.
As you progress through the game, you’ll earn points and unlock new levels. You’ll also be able to purchase upgrades for your aircraft and equipment.

The game’s use of room-scale VR allows you to feel like you’re actually standing in the middle of an airport or on the deck of a battleship. The game’s graphics are also top-notch, with detailed aircraft models and realistic environments.
