I'll be on three flights in the next 11 days, and although I'd like to sleep through every flight, I doubt that'll happen. I have an iPhone 4 and a 3rd-gen iPod Touch at my disposal, so I'd like to throw some new, non-battery-killing games on them before I go. [more inside]

I want to get my father "Microsoft Flight Simulator X" for Christmas and would like advice for which controllers (wheels, yokes, pedals, etc.) to buy for it. I don't know anything about flight controls or flight sims, but I'd like to get him the most authentic setup possbile. [more inside]

After the elections sapped my will to do anything constructive, I bought an XBOX, which I mostly am enjoying. There seem to be lots of RPGs, sports simulations, driving games, and FPS games (mostly based on movies), but I haven't been able to find many games involving flight; spacecraft, jets, dirigibles, I don't care. I just want to fly around, and, preferably, blow stuff up. Is there some inherent limitation of the XBOX that makes flight games hard?
