The planes are: Blue and yellow Back 40 trainer, pink and yellow and White starts double helix, green emerald glider, master edf *France colors* similar to F-86, slowmowatt red and yellow which can’t even go up properly, then the F-15 Regal Eagle, red Cessna 172 super Dee, dark green, gray and red World war ace 1, then a red white and black world war ace 2. The views are: Default (which is behind the runway), Behind the plane and the cockpit view, the explosion physics are pretty good. The back 40 trainer will all break apart no matter how high you crash. The F15 regal eagle needs to go a bit high and crash on nose for best results, the master edf f86 is my favorite plane. The only thing I want you guys to change is make a explsoion physics. ### 2/5 — Very laggy! *2021-11-20, version 1.61* Nearly unplayable due to lag! ### 2/5 — Bad really hard *2020-10-04, version 1.61* It's quick on downloading but the controls are very hard. I would like if you added easy controls. ### 4/5 — MORE PLANES *2020-06-01, version 1.61* This game is great and I love it but can you add more planes? They don’t have much of an aircraft option ### 2/5 — It’s so bad *2020-06-01, version 1.61* I hate the graphics and I have a rc plane it’s nothing like the real thing ### 5/5 — 5 star *2020-02-06, version 1.61* So fun ### 3/5 — I can’t download the app *2019-11-22, version 1.61* I deleted the app then when I try to redownload the app it won’t let me because it ses it’s open and then when I try to play the game it automatically crashes on me and won’t let me play the game. ### 4/5 — Good *2019-06-09, version 1.61* The game is pretty good but the only things I would like to change is make a quad and a sensitivity setting. Other than that the game is great! ### 3/5 — Add more *2018-12-08, version 1.61* Please add more I just got this 5mins ago and already I tried all the planes so please add more and also I’m going to delete this app because it’s a waste of space ### 5/5 — This will save you Money *2018-08-16, version 1.61* Well executed RC sim, each plane reacts as one might expect for the type. Yes optional wind and switchable field of view to assist landing and avoid unexpected appearance of the earth would be nice. I bought the identical paid version because software this good should be supported ! ### 5/5 — Best simulator out there *2017-10-29, version 1.61* I haven’t flown a real rc aeroplane, but this sim is amazing. There are games out there with better graphics, but who cares about graphics? There are so many different planes to choose from and physics are great. In future though, please could u have more maps and old planes? That would put the icing on the cake for this app. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Good but here’s a good suggestion *2017-10-19, version 1.61* Maybe you can add a feature were you can import user created planes ### 5/5 — Great update *2017-09-13, version 1.61* Ive had this app for years, and very happy with it. This update is a great gift! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-09-12, version 1.61* Nice rc sim! Feels like the real thing! ### 4/5 — Very Accurate *2017-08-26, version 1.5* Given the limitations of the virtual joysticks, this is a very accurate recreation of model airplane flying. Unfortunately, the flying field is very small, and it's littered with obstacles - very, very unrealistic! It does help to orient yourself, but it also leads to a lot of unnecessary crashes. At least they're entertaining 😋 Important note: the full version gives you ALL the planes for the price of unlocking a single plane in the lite version. (It's a different app, not an IAP) ### 4/5 — GREAT BUT NEEDS UPGRADES *2016-02-19, version 1.5* good simulator but pls improve graphics and pls add a build you own plane mode!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Utterly unplayable *2022-09-07, version 1.61* The controls are completely unresponsive. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother downloading. *2022-07-24, version 1.61* Unrealistic planes. Very hard to control. Reaction lags constantly behind input. Terrible app. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Plane crashes are not as they used to be *2018-09-24, version 1.61* This game had better crash physics before But now it is not great if you run into a tree trunk at full speed nothing happens. Before it would knock one of the wings off. I only played this for the crash physics. Now I Cant!!! Another reason to hate updates. ### 1/5 — Ads Crash Game Permanently *2018-03-28* There are many games incompatible with iOS11, and this is one of them. some games break the dock, some crash once and then are then unusable until uninstalled. This is one star the whole way. Crap way to treat paying customers by sneaking ads in. If you want to deprecate software, then stop updating it. Unethical. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2015-04-19, version 1.5* This app is horrible get rc plane 2 or absolute rc plane sim ### 1/5 — Qtyioooiyfvb *2015-04-09, version 1.5* Rubbish never ever gat it ### 1/5 — LISTEN TO THE BAD COMMENTS *2014-09-01, version 1.5* Controls shaky Pay $ for other planes (2.99) Impossible to drive DONT GET THIS APP ### 1/5 — Rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2014-06-22, version 1.5* You can hardly fly because the airplane keeps crashing. DO NOT GET THE APP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Boring *2014-06-16, version 1.5* Horrible worst game ever ### 1/5 — not good *2014-01-07, version 1.5* this is really boring there is nothing to do on it if u want a fun game go to rc plane 2 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 🥔 *2025-06-12, version 1.61* High QUALITY TREES. 👌 got you ### 5/5 — Controller support! *2024-11-26, version 1.61* This isn’t the prettiest or feature-full RC flight sim for iOS, but it does offer a great controller support, unlike most others on the app store. Highly recommended for that capability alone! ### 5/5 — Really good game *2024-05-01, version 1.61* Normally I do not write a review on games but this game is perfect there are no ads and it helped me to learn how to fly a real Rc plane I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Great *2022-08-21, version 1.61* Awesome Sim! The only possible negative is that there are no drones or helis but all the planes are excellent! ### 5/5 — I rated it five stars because everything is free. *2022-01-20, version 1.61* This game is amazing because every plane is free. But the only thing that’s odd is the sound. The sound of the planes are a bit weird no offense but this game is awesome. I have been looking for rc airplane simulators forever but this is the best one that I have seen. It’s amazing. ### 5/5 — Eli *2021-03-05, version 1.61* Hi I love the game but ad wars and f4u corsairs ### 5/5 — Fly Everything Free *2020-12-05, version 1.61* This sim is my favorite! Nothing to buy, nothing to unlock. No canards or flying wings.. that’s it’s only downside so far! ### 5/5 — best game ever *2020-09-25, version 1.61* It is the best game ever ### 5/5 — Airplane *2020-05-24, version 1.61* Airplane go neeeeeoooowww ### 5/5 — Flight simulator *2020-04-18, version 1.61* I really find it practical and easy to learn about application use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
