* ''VideoGame/{{Allegiance}}'' tries to find a sort of compromise between this trope and realistic physics, mainly by including SpaceFriction, but turning it ''down'' compared to most games: ships still move like they're immersed in a medium, but inertia is important as well. The overall effect ends up being that spaceships feel like they're moving through ''water'', rather than air. Most of them still look like aircraft, though.

* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' uses fairly realistic Newtonian physics for the most part, but during combat, RuleOfCool pitches the laws of physics out the window and they revert to {{Old School Dogfight}}ing.
** Notably, in the dogfights, many of the ships do in fact drift a bit and disengage and re-engage thrusters for turning.

To sum up, the rocket makes u-turns as if it was a plane, nobody wears spacesuits, the single pilot wears an airline pilot costume, and several untrained people (journalists, scientists...) have been invited to join the flight and are sitting on rows as if it was a commercial flight.

Added DiffLines:
** There is an conversation option that allows Shepherd to commiserate with another character about common space flight misconceptions (e.g. a passenger mistaking the ship turning around halfway to a destination in order to decelerate by burning off momentum as returning to their destination) but no actual maneuvers like this are actually seen in game.

* This is how ''everything'' works in ''TabletopGame/XWingMiniatures''; if your fighter doesn't move like a plane, you're probably playing Scum and Villainy and sprung for Inertial Dampeners, because everyone else has to be in constant motion and can almost never turn on the spot. Justified on grounds of it being a Franchise/StarWars tie-in;
piloting in space is ''always'' identical to piloting in atmosphere in the Galaxy Far Far Away.
