I am a flight enthusiast and can’t but help myself to the game. Is there a way that you can add the f-15 eagle to your simulator? Thanks ### 4/5 — More Planes *2022-09-08, version 7.5.7* This game used to have more free aircraft at one time. Offer free aircraft to make the game better for players. ### 4/5 — Ok *2022-05-29* Dommage qu’il ni ai pas de nouveau avion comme mirage ... ### 4/5 — *Things that could be fixed or added* *2022-03-15, version 7.5.7* If anyone from Rortos happens to see this review, there’s some things that could be fixed or added to make this game better! I’ve always enjoyed playing this game for fun and if I get bored. Just a good way to pass time for plane enthusiasts like me. Even though it’s a cool game, it does have a couple minor things that could be looked at. One of those being the main runway on the Island Scenario. The lines on the runway look like they are for a smaller airstrip. The lights that show up at night are cool, but the lines don’t line up lol. Another thing that kinda bothers me a little is that the C-2 Greyhound doesn’t have shadows. I like to do aerobics with some planes but with there being no shadows, it’s hard to fly down on the deck. Another thing is the stutters when I fly through specific spots of the maps. I understand if it’s loading the areas but like I said I sometimes fly pretty low and when it stutters, it full sends me into the water or land. Those are some of the main things that could be looked at in my opinion. Something that I would really like to see is more aircraft. Ya I know the game is getting older and there’s newer and better sims but there should be at least three or maybe four more aircraft to fly. It’s also been 3 years since the F-104 was added. My top three planes that could be added are the SR-71 Blackbird, V-22 Osprey, and the C-17 Globemaster III. The SR-71 because you can zoom zoom around the map really fast, the Osprey because it’s got VTOL with the rotors, and the C-17 because flying big planes is fun lol. There could also be an update with reverse thrust if the C-17 got added and also put it on the C-130 since they can back up. Like I said if anyone from Rortos happens to read this review, these are a few things that could either be fixed or added to the game to make it a whole lot better!!! ### 4/5 — More Aircraft *2022-01-17, version 7.5.6* Again, more aircraft ### 5/5 — !! *2021-08-21, version 7.5.6* What a brilliant app this is. I have had it for a while now. It has brilliant graphics and a good variety of aircraft. I would like to see cargo aircraft such as the a400m atlas and the c17 Globemaster but other than that it really is worth the download!! ### 5/5 — Best flight simulator I have ever played. Worth the money. *2021-06-22, version 7.5.6* Love it! Hours of play time! ### 5/5 — Freaking thanks guys😄 *2021-06-01, version 7.5.6* Spend most of my day in the air..😎. The names maverick,,!! ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2021-03-10, version 7.5.5* Such a great game with a huge variety of aircraft and locations. Is there any possibility of adding more aircraft such as the F-4 Phantom or the C-17 Globemaster? ### 3/5 — It’s ok but the older in game music was nicer *2021-02-06, version 7.5.4* I love this game. It is a realistic simulator with nice graphics. Now straight to the point. The current in game music is not that good. I would really love it if you went back to the older in game music that was in the game in previous years. ### 5/5 — F14 tomcat and other things *2021-01-19, version 7.5.4* Dear developers, I have a couple things wrong with the tomcat, and other jets for the tomcat the visor that u look through should not be in a glass screen like the fa/18 in real life the screen is actually in the centre piece of the hood in the f/14 Tomcat, the other thing wrong with it is the rudders unlike other aircraft it takes a heck of a long time to turn using the rudders and when ur at the three quarter mile mark coming into a carrier there is no time to bank into position, so i would appreciate it if u could fix these little things for a more realistic feel. Game modes: The only fault with this game is the things u can do, sure there is missions but they don’t take long to do, so maybe a dogfight mode or something along those lines would be nice. Aircraft: The aircraft in this game is good I mean u have some rare ones but what would make this game even better is if u added things like bombers such as the b2 and the f111 and such, and maybe some more fighter aircraft and some reconnaissance aircraft too would be nice. Other then those things it is a fun game but with some more realistic cockpits and detail it would be better Flaring: The flair in this game is pretty good but could be more realistic as such it could come over the wings in those high g turns with maybe some shakes in the cockpit and some flair if in the barrelrolls too. View: Nothing much but to be able to turn and see my wings and tail in the cockpit would be wicked cool. Sincerely, a big fan of the game ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-12-16, version 7.5.4* Best carrier landing game on IOS ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-12-05, version 7.5.4* I have been playing with this flight sim for years! I love it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — F4E not realistic, badly flawed *2024-06-25, version 7.5.8* So many issues, where to start. E model can’t land on a carrier due to mods to the main gear structure. The biggest flaw is there are no leading edge flaps in the simulation. This is a hard wing (non slat) simulation so this omission is huge. Having flown both version of he E in real life,this simulation is not remotely realistic. With the F4E being so bad, I can’t imagine the other sims are any better. ### 1/5 — Free flight *2024-01-08, version 7.5.8* How do you finish missions with free flight? ### 1/5 — Latest update broke the game *2022-03-31, version 7.5.7* The latest update broke the game. Nothing loads at all. ### 1/5 — Bombs out after first tutorial *2022-03-25, version 7.5.7* First tutorial works a treat to land on the airfield. After that it bombs out every time. Disappointing. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2021-04-18, version 7.5.6* The app worked all for about 60 seconds before crashing. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it with no luck. I even tried rebooting my brand new iPhone 12 Pro, and it’s still crashing. I just spent $10 on an app that doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Complete garbage *2020-10-19, version 7.5.4* Flight model is garbage. There isn’t even a flight model. This is something people buy for their 6 year old and rate it because it keeps the kid busy. Lousy money scheme. ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-04-09, version 7.5.2* Not enough stuff to do No new stuff ### 1/5 — Expensive / limited features *2020-02-19, version 7.4.0* $15 for landing and taking off No fights , boring and repetitive ! Rubbish ### 1/5 — Trash game *2019-12-29, version 7.4.0* Developers last update was over a year ago. The game is pointless and has basically no missions, you can’t use weapons or anything. It’s a waste of money ### 1/5 — Needs more planes *2019-10-20, version 7.4.0* This game is cool but the drawback is that they don’t consistently add more aircraft models which tends to bore me so I don’t play it as much ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Eti *2024-04-12, version 7.5.8* I love airplanes ### 5/5 — F16 Issue *2023-07-19, version 7.5.7* There is a serious problem with F16 aircraft. Flaps doesn’t work. Nose gear suspension doesn’t work. Everytime I land the plane, the nose hits the ground. Please solve the issue. ### 5/5 — Fresnel lens *2023-07-02, version 7.5.7* Why not make fresnel lens optical landing system interactive? ### 5/5 — Everything unlocked *2023-05-14, version 7.5.7* This game has everything unlocked ### 5/5 — Lots,hours of fun! *2023-04-14, version 7.5.7* The perfect mix of fun and reality,really cool. F-15 Eagle up next please! ### 5/5 — I’m a navy pilot and I Love this sim! *2023-03-03, version 7.5.7* Nav practice is awesome on this thing!! ### 5/5 — Please add B-2 and Lockheed *2022-07-19, version 7.5.7* Love the game and all the planes but I feel like it’s ready for some bigger and faster planes such as the Northrop B-2 and the Lockheed SR-71. ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-06-12, version 7.5.7* Could you please add weapons and better graphics thanks ### 5/5 — Best app *2021-12-30, version 7.5.6* Best app ### 5/5 — Relaxing game *2021-12-16, version 7.5.6* The choices are good and the changing scenarios very good, and a relaxing games to play. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
