### 5/5 — 面白い

*2026-05-06*

コントローラーに対応してくれて傾けなくても出来るようになった。操縦席視点でクリアできるようになりたい。火口のステージがクリア出来ない人は設定で簡易飛行モデルの切り替えをしたらうまくいくと思います。

### 2/5 — Ужис

*2023-08-12*

Очень плохо

### 4/5 — Nice fun fight sim

*2023-01-03, version 4.1*

I 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 my IPad 6th Gen. The altitude in Feet does not work in imperial measurement but switching to metric does fine.

### 1/5 — I hate the second mission

*2022-07-19, version 4.1*

I CANT TAKE OFF ON THE SECOND MISSION SO I CANT UNLOCK ANYTHING ELSE. FIX THIS GAME OR DELETE IT AND MAKE A NEW FLIGHT THEORY HD

### 5/5 — Um simulador simples mas bem divertido

*2022-02-12*

O modo vôo livre é sensacional!

### 1/5 — On volcano run the plane decides to not work anymore

*2021-07-07, version 4.1*

When I play volcano run the plane does not turn and it doesn’t tilt either when I go into the volcano, FIX THAT!!! You’re game is gonna get no attention if that’s what’s happening

### 3/5 — Так себе

*2021-05-28*

Не удобное управление

### 5/5 — 2021 toujours un bon jeu

*2021-01-27*

Très bon jeu je l’ai réinstallé car j’y ai joué étant plus jeune et nostalgie de ouf pour un jeu qui paie pas de mine certe mais qui faisait mon bonheur. Malheureusement il n’a plus l’air d’être mis à jour...

### 1/5 — Опрос
