Community Insight:
Its very nice the water is nice everything is nice on the flight simulator thank you for making his flight simulator we appreciate it.
Good game but the TO-34 has no windshield from 3rd person in sim flying and we wish there was a way to start free flight at night as well.
Is this game not getting updates.
Nice Game , just we want more airport , and map world in the free fly please and more air line and more plane air bus and boieng.
We love it! We love how detailed the controls are! We would love to see just a tad more detail on the scenery and airports! Maybe a few cities here and there.
Hope to release more simulator games,such as bus game ,truck game.
This is the best game guys, like Im really surprised.
We love easy flying with the best airline of our life and its so.
Very good game but have same problems in controls the aircraft please fix it.
This game can fight the word but you need big air plan is very good and have any test very good.
This app is amazing,and the graphics are so beautiful.
There are some problems on the To700. It happened two times. Our first one is we try to depart out of London but once we get down the runway it flips and crashes. Our second one is we're trying to depart out of Paris but when we get on the runway the front tire goes into the ground. Please fix if can.
Best plane game on the App Store but wish there was the 777 and the 767 and maybe the a330 and A340 needs a we phone X update plz.
Very good graphics and a great verity of airports. If you like flight simulator games you will like this one.
We remember this game from our childhood, just recently rediscovered it, its been 8 years since we played this, everything is so good and different before COVID arrived. We were just a child discovering new things and enjoying new stuff, and getting open to the world, and playing this game and discovering new graphics and stuff in the internet until COVID came. Im now a high schooler since then and now we just want to look back to even the smallest part of our memory to cherish what we lost. So remember whoever is reading this, cherish the moments you have and be grateful, you do not know what value something has before you lose it. For a peaceful world.
Fantastic :) but the thing is that it pay to play Im really annoyed how you work so hard to get something like the a320 but then next 2 levels you have to get a 747 when you dont know that you have to get it please change the prices of all the planes we dont think a Cessna is worth 35k.
We dont have all the control, when Im straight, our plane tips to one side, or flips up side down! Please fix this.
Change the final checkpoints to arrows please. We cannot see the runway because of the checkpoint garbage blocking them. We lose because we always have to do a go around. Itll be an awesome game if you fix that part.
Can you make the map really big.
We bought this with high hopes of it being a great sim, but we were mistaken! Subpar graphics, Horrible controls and no calibration! Those are just a few Ive noticed in the first 10 minutes of play… Best just to stick to Rortos flight sims.
Great game, but when you reach level 30, you have reached the plateau, Ive been flying planes in the world map, but weve reached an impasse, all of our jet airliners are on a 10-20 hr flight, and every time we check back it resets to the same time, we even left the app open for 2days, still the same results, dont spend too much time or money with this one it will leave you disappointed.
We cant pass the learning how to land our plane level, UGH IVE TRIED LIKE 5 TIMES AND we STILL CANT PASS THIS STUPID LEVEL, EVERY TIME we LAND MY PLANE ON WATER, NO MATTER WHAT, MY PLANE IMMEDIATELY CRASHES AND we FAIL THE GODDAMN MISSION, TAKE THIS GARBAGE GAME OFF THE APP STORE. This game wasnt free to download, trust us this game was not free to download, instead we just wasted our 1 dollar on some stupid memory game and wants us to generate frustration. The controls are super awful and hard to control the plane, and therefore, we recommend you dont play this game unless you want to generate frustration and make you angry, the graphics are also horrible and trashy, also when you land your plan at a airport, instead the plane goes too fast and make you go off the runaway and crashing somewhere, landing an airplane on water is really hard than landing at an airport. The planes are too freaking expensive like heck, youre instead forced to spend real money to buy currency in order to buy planes in other episodes in order to access those levels. Im done spending our money on your worthless games, tough luck, guess you lost a customer and no more money from us ever again, we want a refund.
Every time we land, it bounces and crashes, THIS IS SOO ****ING ANNOYING.
IT WOULDNT DOWNLOAD AT FIRST then when we got it to work it only gives you 35.000 cash it may seem like a lot but it's just T E R R we B L E Save your money don't buy this it's cheap but not worth it give us more starting money.
Spent lots of hours and some money on this game with in app purchases, and moved to a new phone with everything backed up and magically everything is gone. Says theres no cloud sync data, no purchases were restored and NO saved games were present. Literally had unlocked every plane and it goes back to the drawing board. Pitiful excuse for a simulator. It needs serious updates. Do not waste your time or money. As of this writing the game has not been update since approximately April 2018.
Purchased a few planes for our son. After uninstalling and reinstalling the game, all of the purchased planes are no longer available. Attempted troubleshooting and the previously purchased planes are still not restored.
Why are the controls very insensitive and choppy? Also, why do the missions literally crash your plane as soon as you start them? This game does not deserve a $2.99 price tag or even a free price tag! DO NOT BUY.
Love this game been playing for an hour everyday.
Love the game, got to level 30 and game stopped working. Tells us "no internet connection ". Help please. Very aggravating. We were on level 30 had almost 4 million to buy planes and we're stuck because it say no internet connection. We have internet connection. We've had it for 30 levels. Come on game creators, fix this bug. This is the best pilot game out there. Ok creators of the game. What is going on. Fix the problem. It keeps saying no internet connection. Please address this. FIX this issue.
This game is great for the price. Never seen a plane simulation game this good. Well done.
We love this game best game ever.
One of the better simulation apps we own, well worth the price.
Great Game, Great Graphics, Great Fun.
Worked really well. Not the most realistic in terms of flying physics but fun either way. Now it says we do not have internet connection. We won't be playing this anymore until they fix the only way to make money.
We have been playing this game for months and all of a sudden it says no internet connection. All the other apps on our iPad are accessing the internet just fine. Is there a server probelm on the other end? Help.
This is a great app! The only thing is that it takes too long for one level.
Great game until this happened.
Game is great. Would like to have the "no internet connection" issue resolved to play more of the game.
Tells us there's no internet connection when there is. Won't let us download our old profile. We got too far to have to start over.
We want a refund the game says we have no internet connection even though we do so we can't play the full game if the creators aren't going to fix this can we get a refund.
We'd be having a lot of fun with this. BUT. Every time we try to go to the store it tells us to connect to the internet. We AM. Wifi and cellular. It's a shame because we'd gladly plunk down for that F-16! Very bizarre that we want to spend money and cannot.
Apparently after you get so far in the game it says no internet connection and cannot be fully played. This developer should be smart and fix this. It has been a couple weeks now so we're deleting it. We did write them an email and they said they do not know what has happened. Time to take off to another flight sim.
All of a sudden it keeps saying no internet connection but every other app that uses internet is working smoothly.
Really well made. Great graphics and fun to play. We play it everyday.
Incredibly realistic and awesome to fly! Thank you for this amazing app! Steve Pepe.
We were looking for a game in app store and this game is awesome.
Great control options and function! Very well thought out sim. High marks to the creators. We will be spending hours on this app for sure.
The scenery is great but the exterior of the plane could be better.
We like the game a lot. It's one of the better flight simulators out there.
Good game but as we said we bought two credit coin packs and never received them.
