### 1/5 — LOTS OF ADS

*2026-08-07, version 2.9.0*

2 banner ads while I’m playing. And pop up ads as well. The game is not even realistic.

### 1/5 — Don’t even bother

*2026-07-29, version 2.9.0*

It has pop up adds covering the controls and obstructing vision making it impossible to play I do not recommend

### 5/5 — Hi

*2026-06-30, version 2.9.0*

I remember i was looking for this for a long time then playing it all the time like 2 years ago so I decided to write a review of how awesome this game is besides what i believe being a ufo flying over every like 20 minutes because it horrifies me with that sound it has especially because i was home alone when this happened to me 3 times before writing this

### 5/5 — Très bien - 5/5

*2026-05-09*

Le jeu est très bon, d’une grande qualité, très agréable à jouer. Il faudrait cependant travailler sur les graphismes, comme par exemple faire la différence entre une ville située en désert ou en plaine.

### 1/5 — Ad

*2026-05-01, version 2.9.0*

Too many ads

### 5/5 — Ville

*2026-04-23*

Est-ce que c’est possible de rajouter la roumaine dans le jeu  une ville ?

Raphael gauvin

### 4/5 — Please fix this

*2026-04-14, version 2.9.0*

Every time I try to play it always freezes when I’m in the Home Screen and when I’m trying to select a mission so can you please fix this and make the game adjust your settings depending on your device

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2026-04-11, version 2.9.0*

In this game: 
1. The flaps on the wings are somehow your ailerons. 
2. Can’t bank without full rudder input (the aircraft barely turns when banking without rudder). 
3. Speed measurements are in km/h instead of knots in both airspeed and vertical speed, and there is a cap limit as to how much you can pitch up and down. Can’t judge speed and sink rate.
4. The game forces you to descend from cruising altitude when you are only a few nautical miles away from the airfield (normally you would need around 100-150 nautical miles for a safe descent.
5. Landings are impossible without floating during flare or a rough landing (-2000 VS) the game considers a crash when in real life would be just a hard landing.

Overall: Not a good flight simulator.

### 3/5 — Bon jeu mais manque de chose

*2026-03-21*

Essayer d ajouter plus de ville quand on passe au dessus et tout et aussi avoir des panne plus réaliste avec des pompier qui éteignent le feu ds le moteur par exemple et b ai aussi une autre proposition qui est de rendre le jeu plus réaliste en terme de crash

### 1/5 — IF YOU CREATED THE GAME READ THIS !!!!!

*2026-03-07, version 2.9.0*

I started playing long time ago and it was soooo good so I spend money on it I spend $30+ and I was happy but 4 moths ago it started to froze and I keep trying and trying and it still was frozen I tried everything and I knew it wasn’t my phone because it was brand new and other games were working well, and I tried everything and I don’t know what happened and the game was deleted I tried to get the account back and it’s not working if the creators see this plis help me getting it back
