Leave a Review Glider Sim
Very fun but…
It only comes with 3 challenges, 1 location, and no tutorials. The free flight has not real “done” including designated landing spots to shoot for. I’d be willing to get a paid version to support these adds. Also, a powered parachute options would be nice too.
Also, with the camera lens in the upper left corner facing out, the screen shows the application upside down. It will not correct… you have to switch the iPad to camera lens facing out and in the lower right cornerShow lesssmj58501
Good but could be so much better
If you’re looking for a paragliding sim in the App Store this is really the only game in town. There are a couple of others but they are truly unfinished garbage and don’t even come close to this effort.
The physics are very good and the graphics are decent, though they feel pretty dated and could be significantly improved. All-in-all it’s enjoyable but I would recommend the following fixes/additions.
1. More flying sites please. Utah is getting boring!
2. Allow the game to be played in multiple orientations. Currently it can only be played on the iPad with the volume buttons on the lower right. When flipped 180 the app doesn’t recognize the gyro and doesn’t flip to the correct orientation. Seems like a very basic oversight and needs to be fixed.
3. Get rid of the frustrating directional view buttons. The industry standard in flight sims is finger dragging to look around. This really needs to be changed. The buttons are non-intuitive and frustrating.
4. Add powered gliders and trikes.
5. As previously mentioned the graphics could use a boost. Satellite and low level terrain imagery is readily available and could be incorporated in the sim greatly improving the realism level.
6. Some sort of tutorial would be nice.Show lesssjracer
