Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love flight sims and have enjoyed many on IOS. This one is refreshing and fun. The controls are good leaning on realism. Not the best as a flight sim but fun to fly. Works welll with a game controller. The game controller gives you more controls than tilt steering. Recommend using a game controller for more realism. It has a lot area to fly with good graphics, runs smoothly on our IPad 6th Gen. The altitude in Feet does not work in imperial measurement but switching to metric does fine.
The volcano level is not passable.
We really tried hard to like this game but it wouldn't even let us land on one of the missions! We also bought all of the planes and it still wouldn't let us fly them!!! We would really like our $5.00 back now! Cheap and no good.
This game is so bad we spent 5 dollars for all of the planes thinking we could fly them but no you have to be on a higher level to fly them.ps we had to put a star because we can't do half a star.
Snek, wer u goin', SNEK, STHAAAAAPH!! See kids, smokin drugs is bad 4u. So dont do it.
Good app but there are no breacks you cant stop while landing.
Extremely frustrating to pull off a perfectly landing just to end up crashing because you can't stop the plane.
Fun but crashes. It must always be completely permanently impossible for apps to crash. It means they never crash at all.
The first accelerometer flight game we've played that works. Allot of fun, and easy to learn, yet with a challenge.
The game is fun but there is one MAJORLY HUGE problem. If you try to buy another plane or "Pro/Full Version" it will continue to come up to buy the item or plane u want, it even does it when your in your HOME MENU!!!! Super annoying, please fix and maybe we will download sometime in the later future, when you fix that terrible in app buying glitch.
We every time it finishes loading it turns off.
Okay here's our problem we've paid for this app on our iPad mini and now we are required to pay again on an iPhone see our problem we'd give give stars.
Every time we try it we get to air craft and mission but when we try to fly it crashes. We'll wait until the new update but for now we're giving it one star. :(.
This was once a great game, but after the last update the control of the air crafts are impossible. Why fix stuff that ain't broke.
Underpowered-Antique plane is the name of this game.
We love flight sims, and iOS has few good ones. This one is fair. It's better than those Flight Unlimited things, but it's not quite up to Infinite Flights realism. The planes here don't look great. Kind of low rez, and blurry, but not terrible either. The terrain is OK, and we think is actually better than Infinite Flights. It looks like there are only 3 planes? The flight physics seem a little simplified, yet smooth enough to feel pretty close to realistic. The sense of movement or speed feels too slow. The rudder is backwards. There are no working instruments so its not always easy to know what your angle or pitch is from time to time. The area you have to fly in is really small. At least there are bridges, trees and water. Plus there's an old aircraft carrier. It's not a bad start, but there is work to be done.
Like the other guy says, it fair. It's not that realistic but its OK. We couldn't find settings on how to turn the sensitivity down. Because this is very sensitive. Also u only get one plane. Not the best, but its good we'd say.
We don't get it up is to go down down is to go down right is to go left and left is to go right we can't pass the first mission because of that.
We just got the game and we do the tourtial and it keeps on exiting out.
Fix all of the crashes in this app. This app crashes way too much!!! We're sick of this crap!!!!!! If you can't make any good apps without crashes then get this app out of here.
Don't get this game it is terrible we can't pull up.
Why can't we move or fly and crash sucky.
Wow, and couldn't go up. All we could do is go down and barely turn. Soo you would see us doing loop – de – loops all day.
This game just did not work, the controls did not work he couldn't go up and down it was Ridiculous. You get what you pay for and since we didn't pay for anything we didn't lose anything but time.
We never actually got to play the game!! The first time we tried it got stuck on the tutorial loading screen, then we tried again and it crashed when we tired to pick a plane.
