## What is Turboprop Flight Simulator?

FLY MILITARY AIRCRAFT AND PASSENGER AIRLINERS:

"Turboprop Flight Simulator" is a 3D airplane simulator game, in which you pilot various types of modern turboprop aircraft, and also drive ground vehicles.


THE AIRCRAFT:

* C-400 tactical airlifter - inspired from the real-world Airbus A400M.
* HC-400 coastguard search and rescue - variant of C-400.
* MC-400 special operations - variant of C-400.
* RL-42 regional airliner - inspired from the real-world ATR-42.
* RL-72 regional airliner - inspired from the real-world ATR-72.
* E-42 military early warning aircraft - derived from RL-42.
* XV-40 concept tilt-wing VTOL cargo.
* PV-40 private luxury VTOL - variant of XV-40.
* MV-40 special operations VTOL - variant of XV-40.
* PS-26 concept private seaplane.
* MS-26 special operations seaplane - variant of PS-26.
* C-130 military cargo - inspired from the legendary Lockheed C-130 Hercules.
* HC-130 coastguard search and rescue - variant of C-130.
* MC-130 special operations - variant of C-130.


HAVE FUN:

* Learn to fly with training missions (teaching the basics of flying, taxiing, takeoff and landing).
* Complete various missions.
* Explore the plane's interior in first-person (in most levels, and free-flight).
* Interact with various items (doors, cargo ramp, strobes, main lights).
* Drive ground vehicles.
* Load, unload, and airdrop supplies and vehicles with the cargo planes.
* Takeoff and land on improvised runways (and airports, for sure).
* Fly without restrictions in free-flight mode, or create flight routes on the map.
* Perform refueling on ground and mid-air refueling.
* Use JATO/L (Jet Assisted Take-Off and Landing).
* Fly in varied time-of-day, fog and wind conditions.


OTHER FEATURES:

* FREE airplane simulator game updated in 2025!
* NO MANDATORY ADS! Only optional, rewarded ones in-between flights.
* Good 3D graphics (with detailed cockpits for all the airplanes).
* Realistic physics for flight simulation.
* Complete pilot controls (including rudder, flaps, spoilers, thrust reversers, auto-brakes, and landing gear).
* Multiple control options (including mixed tilt sensor & stick / yoke).
* Multiple cameras (including cockpit cameras with captain and copilot positions).
* Close to realistic engines' sounds (turbines and propellers noises recorded from real airplanes).
* Partial and total aircraft destruction (clipping wing tips, full wings separation, tail separation, and main fuselage breakage).
* Several islands with many airports.
* Selection of measurement units for air speed, flying altitude, and distance (metric, aviation standard, and imperial).

### 5/5 — Good but one thing.

*2026-08-24, version 1.34.3*

This flight sim is incredible but on the second map please add 2 more airports and add one more regular turboprop aircraft like the dc-7

### 5/5 — W Flight Sim 🔥

*2026-08-24, version 1.34.3*

One word for this flight simulator and it would be ‘superior’. This FS is really the flight simulator OAT.

The flight simulator I highly recommend because for one, everything is free, technically, and I say that because you buy planes and more airport spawn points with an in game currency that has yet to be named, which is pretty cool. Second of all, no ads, also kind of, because they can be changed and disabled/enabled after each flight session which is a major upside. Also, it requires no internet for anything, except for the ads. A lot of the features are super realistic, such as the weather and the planes, but there are a few flaws in the game. The biggest flaw is that, the updates take like, forever, but what comes in the updates are really cool, like the recent rolling bombs dispenser.

P.S Alex, the creator of this game, here are a few suggestions that I would love to see and by chance the TFS community too.

1. C-22 Tactical Military Airlifter: Heavily Based off the real world Antonov AN-22 Antei Cargo Aircraft, I would love to see this airplane, especially since it would be one of the only aircraft not based off a country other than the US and some NATO europian contries, being from russia. One thing I really wanna see with this is a standard white livery with yellow and blue stripes livery somewhat based off the Antonov house livery, and a military livery based off something like old liveries from the AN-124 Ruslan. Plus, I would also like to see  a coast guard and specops variant of the plane which would really make it stand out.

2. More airliners! And cargo variants?: More airliners like the SAAB340 and Dash 8 would be really cool since the RL-42/72 are the only 2 airliners in the game.
Also, cargo variants for the RL-42/72 would be so awesome, since they do exist irl, and the addition with a special smaller loading vehicle with some boxes as well.

3. AC400: Yes I know you are working on the AC400 gunship aircraft, but I don’t really know when it will be released. Will it be released in 1.35 of september? 1.36 of January? Not sure yet, but hopefully it will arrive in 2026. Also im wondering, if the AC400 DOES get released next update, will it have some of the locked “for future update” features such as the thermal infrared camera which is barely finished? I would love to know about this and if you aren’t sure yet, maybe give your best guess.

4. Helicopters: These would be really cool, especially for TFS, but the addition would, I’m guessing, also include added helipads to the existing airports.

Ok so in conclusion, I really reccomend this game since it is really fun and free.

### 5/5 — Best flight simulator ever

*2026-08-24, version 1.34.3*

Very realistic LIKE IT

### 5/5 — Commercial planes

*2026-08-23, version 1.34.3*

Add more commercial planes like the dash 8 etc other than that super fun game

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2026-08-22, version 1.34.3*

Airplane airplane airplane, Turbo flight simulator beats it all. It’s the best flight simulator ever in my opinion other people think different.

### 5/5 — AMAZING GAME

*2026-08-21, version 1.34.3*

I had it in my old tablet and then when I get this iPad I had no hesitation to download this game. To players that are looking for a game sim, this is for u😊 ✈️
