### 4/5 — Nostalgia

*2025-10-10, version 1.0.7*

I remember this game from my childhood, just recently rediscovered it, it’s been 8 years since I played this, everything is so good and different before COVID arrived. I was just a child discovering new things and enjoying new stuff, and getting open to the world, and playing this game and discovering new graphics and stuff in the internet until COVID came. I’m now a high schooler since then and now I just want to look back to even the smallest part of my memory to cherish what I lost. So remember whoever is reading this, cherish the moments you have and be grateful, you do not know what value something has before you lose it. For a peaceful world

### 5/5 — Update Required

*2024-11-15*

Pls update the app as per latest UI

### 5/5 — 10

*2024-09-14, version 1.0.7*

Kadının pipisini ısırdım kadın ahfelanyaptı

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-09-02, version 1.0.7*

Amazing flying game. Although quite simplified and arcady compared to a simulator, this is a very enjoyable game, with a solid structure, very good graphics and a vast range of free planes and skins. Excellent value for money. I hope the developers won’t forget this and give us a sequel or an update soon!

### 1/5 — Jogo ruim

*2024-06-13*

Jogo bem diferente doque mostra ser não compra eu comprei e me arrependi o jogo é muito rui

### 2/5 — When will it be updated?

*2024-02-05, version 1.0.7*

Many years have passed and still no update! And there are a lot of bugs in the game, we want them to be fixed! Add new planes to the game!

### 3/5 — Please help me

*2023-12-31, version 1.0.7*

The camera is always on top of the plane when i land the plane

### 4/5 — Solider.....

*2023-07-02*

...Flugsimulator. Die Steuerung ist, nach wie vor, etwas wackelig aber das liegt vermutlich einfach daran, dass es eben für ein Tablet optimiert ist.
Ein bisschen Detailgrafik könnte ebenfalls nicht schaden. Und echt schade, dass man keine Flugzeuge verkaufen kann.

### 5/5 — Super jeu

*2022-09-04, version 1.0.7*

Par contre faut beaucoup jouer pour avoi de beaux avions sinon très bien pas de pub

### 5/5 — Tip Top aber....

*2022-08-25*

Das Spiel finde ich toll aber es dauert zu lange die größeren Flugzeuge freizuschalten, sonst ist alles gut, kriegt trotzdem 5 Sterne von mir!
