Phone support?

It’s a lovely little game, and I enjoy it very much.
Would appreciate support for it on phones as well as iPads, though.

Great!

I like this game a lot, and it will help me perfect my landing, but I think it would be really cool if you turned this into a full flight simulator with more airplanes and the ability to take off and fly to a destination. And with full controls like flaps, gear, and speed breaks. It also would be nice to have more cameras.

Non Pilot Opinion

This is a sampling of an actual HUD fight instrument in an accurate sim environment. It is basically an ad aimed at private and commercial aircraft owners. But they let us play with it. COOL! The geo-graphics are simple, but the required accuracy of your approach and landing is very high. Licensed pilot high! A lot of fun for armchair pilots. Enjoy.
