Community Insight:
Now we just want to warn you we are a picky person when it comes to planes Im the person who will fly for a long long time and we wanted the jet and it said fly for 3 hours to unlock so we set a timer for 3 hours and we took a quick break and got off the app . So we went back on and resumed the timer and the timer was up so we went back to the planes and did not unlock the plane. So we started a new timer for 3 hours and then the timer was up so we went back to the planes and we didnt get the jet SO we WAS FLYING FOR 24 HOURS and wood of got the jet but, when we unlocked it it said you must purchase the plane so we deleted it but good app.
We want to be a pilot before we go in to the army and this game doesnt tech us but we love it and inspires us to be a pilot love the game.
A nice break from the work day to work on basic flying skills. Thanks.
But how do we shoot missiles for a fighter jet.
Personally we think fly wings 2017 deserves better ratings.
Its a very good game but very hard to control we just say that you need like a little control bar so you can keep where the plane is going.
Ok first you need more planes for free second you need more air line like Southwest and way more last you need more better graphics.
First of all. This is one of the best flight simulators for mobile. But it has its problems. Now Im fine spending money but we do not want to pay 10 dollars for one plane with a few different options. The game is not very laggy but sometimes it does. Overall we recommend this to anyone looking for a good game.
This game is not very realistic we know you worked really hard on it but its just not that realistic its like everything is like a block of everything it would be cool if you fix that sorry about this but they dont really play this game a lot Im super sorry we probably shouldnt say this.
First off Id like to say we like the game which is why we purchased it for the 1.99 but we do have a complaint. We are still getting annoying ads on the top of our screen during flight! One ad actually made it impossible to finish a flight and use autopilot because it completly covered the directionals! Very disappointed we spent the money to still get ads at the top of the screen when connected to the internet. The developer should really fix this if they expect people to pay for their game.
This game is very glitch on several levels, otherwise is not horrible could be better.
We are used to Microsoft Flight Simulator 98. This is enjoyable, but does not offer quite the fine control and realism in it. Still, this is a good experience. We have learned how to use this over time. If we remove our fingers from the iPad screen the throttle and other controls disappear after a few seconds. We learned if we keep a finger on the throttle the controls remain visible. That helps a lot for fine adjustments during a landing approach. We wished several times for brakes. Engage the spoiler control and there are the brakes. Even when we had access to The Microsoft program, most of the time we flew a basic Cessna. We do that same with this program, so we have not bought access to additional planes, etc. A wrong move while trying to set the flaps for landing can also shift the view a lot, and that is a problem in the middle of a landing.
This game is rlly fun we play it all the time but why do the planes have to cost money cant they be free its ur game so u can do anything with it but thats just our opinion.
We bought the full game and we pressed the refund purchase and it did not refund the $54.99 that we paid. Ok game not worth paying the full game. If youre gonna pay for the game at least make sure the graphics are good because the graphics on this game are complete garbage and this is also the best mobile plane game we could find searching in a 2-3 hour range. If youre going to pay for anything in the game then we suggest that you pay for the premium club and 10 hours for the game.
This app is pretty stubborn l cant do free fly.
This is the worst graphics ever it says good graphics but no its the worst. And why is the planes cost money!!!! This game makes no sense whatsoever.
All of the fun helicopters and jets cost money, we think this is very dumb.
The app doesnt have any support for issues in app and also helicopters its really bad to fly, they dont go in the direction you manage the helicopter go crazy flying by it self crashing all time no matter how do you set the calibration, the helicopter go whatever the direction but were do you want to go, some aircraft can not reach the checkpoint and many issues more, updates history has one year no updates.
Whats the point in a flight sim if the flight instruments like air speed and heading are covered by a banner at the top of the screen?! And then as if that isnt enough, you are STILL required to sit through a mandatory ad between flights.
Most relistic flight sim for mAcoS this is mobile bruh momentum.
Every time we exit a level, an add pops up.
How is this a bad game!? There are great free planes, the controls are great, and the planes are cheaper and better than in FlyWings 2018.
The planes are so realistic and the missions to but the adds dont get us started on them try to take the adds off. So it is the best game ever.
We would never buy this game because its full of baloney and worst of all theyre all bad airplanes that automatically crash when you can nothing PS never get this game we would consider writing to the owner and doing nothing.
Awesome game bro but you need to make a change to your game make the world look exactly like how it looks like and make the map infinite so that from anywhere you can make an infinite flight across All California cities and County and to fly all over the world make that change bro we love your game.
Ok, we know it is 2017 game, but it is SO FUN! We know that the update was not good but for one plane. The only bummer is that 90% of the planes cost money. We love the game.
This is a great sim And we love the planes and we want you guys to add more planes and put FlyWings 2017 on Steam and add gulfstream family.
So realistic it is like your in a real airplane,helicopter,or jet.
Arospatiale/BAC Concorde, Boeing 737, Airbus A340.
Great game but the planes cost to much.
We love this game its really good but cant you put in the update the Boeing 737 800 and Boeing 737 900 and put new airline liveries like united we really like this game.
This game is awesome than any other fly wings games Fly Wings 2017 and 2018 Rocks :) also the rudder uhh u cant control tge plane on the ground.
We like this game a lot but the problem is that we cannot fly to a different city so in the next update we want to be able to fly to a different city.
We love the game graphics, and we love how realistic it is but its just the sensitivity. Can you lower the sensitivity or is that just how the game is.
We think this game is amazing. The graphics are good, the levels are fun, and theres so much to do. But, Im stuck on the auto pilot level, and when Im putting our plane on auto pilot, it doesnt let us pass the level. We dont know why?! But just enjoy the game for what it is and overall, the game is great.
Needs to be better please let people get the aircraft without buying it ALSO Why do you have to buy the missions otherwise it is a good app.
Seriously, how do we fly one? In the helicopter tutorial, all it does it tells us to go to the checkpoint. It doesn't show us how to fly it.
This is the best game ever and we feel like a real pilot and it has lots of planes. Please add three more Airlines Alaska Airlines, Korean Airlines and Southwest Airlines. Also please let us travel around the world. Thank you.
The game is good and fun but this is what we want you to add in the future.we don't have a credit card for the app purchase so we can't buy anything.And our favorite plane is always the Boeing-777.we'll do anything to get that for free like playing your game for 3 hour a day.It pretty relaxing. This is what we want to unlock for free: Boeing-777:cause we like it(15 flight hour) Civilians helicopters:so we can have one(12 flight hour) Modern fighter:so we can chase the Al plane(13 flight hour) Bugs: There a "Hey we're not a helicopter" bug:this bug is when we try to spawn in NY,Washington DC,and Chicago.It spawn us in a helicopter path,away from the runway we want to depart. Please do all of this next update,we're gonna play this 3 h for this and run around the yard 100 times.It took us 15 minutes to write this. And guy,this is the best choice for a flight simulator. Your Pilot Captain Alex.
Game seems pretty good until we got to the first long flight to Hawaii. Its happened four times in a row now. Use the auto pilot until the last 7 km then coming in to land and the plane loses all power and falls out of the sky all four times.
The autopilot should be more realistic with a max height of 12,000 feet for the cesnas and other small planes and 20,000 feet for big planes. The autopilot only goes up to 9,800 feet.
We thought we would be a free version of infanate flight but it has short range.
In one of the games missions auto pilot in the airplane mission section, it seems like its uncompleteable. We do everything right and land on the runaway but the game acts like we still have more to do. We did it alot of times and yet cant complete it.
Ok for a mobile game but not for the price for the add ons. Too many glitches and poor controls. Unable to steer while on ground even with rudder controls. Many missions lack direction as well as control overlay issues.
Just bought the Boeing 747, not very happy how it runs. No matter how slow you go down it almost always goes off the runway, some runways should definitely be better. And please, make the game so you can fly from a state to another state or city to another city. After a while it gets old of flying an international jet from one city to the next only a little while away. Rudder does not work at all. Some bugs need to be fixed urgently. Other than that this game is just okay.
Whyd did you remove the live cockpit.
It would be a five star app if the graphics were as good as the X Plane 10 app.
The rudder is completely useless on the ground. There is not way to turn and taxi in less than a mile circle. Just absurd. In between missions a video ad plays even when you click skip/main menu. Many of the ads are many minutes long with no way out. Could really use realistic rudder for taxi and ILS to line up landing in weather. Weapons on military missions poor at best. 8 missiles from an Apache to kill a tank!? What am we shooting BBs??? Waypoints to land give no time to slow down and line up.
Really nice game, but the layout is not suited for the iPhone X. Cannot completely throttle down or use other controls because they extend beyond the actual screen. Disappointing.
The graphics in this game are less than perfect. For the same prices and exceptional graphics get x-plane.
