Bad game

I don’t know how to get past first screen bad game

Great sim

Add a westjet plane

Love itt

I love it and the physics are soooooooo real but can you not have to get paid too have the whole earth because this is my first time playing and my parents can’t afford anything please bye love it.

Good ish

You have a tiny city buy default and you have to pay to get everything else

Still can’t get my purchases back

Purchased aircraft a few years back and I can’t get them back.

Restore Purchases

I remember buying individual aircraft’s on this game instead of subscribing I can just own the plane instead. Fast forward, now I can’t restore my purchases. It does nothing and want me to buy again. I think not!

Really?

Game was mid,it was fun then it said i had to pay a yearly subscription. I only got to fly in the tutorial,but if I did not have to pay 5 stars.

AI + co-op

Add AI co pilots and the ability to get your friend to be your copilot very good game though

Best

Best game but one thing.Can you please make more planes free.

Junk

Unfortunately the app forces you to pay there is no true free flight. Like everything else in this world it’s a money grab

Takes too long

When i first got this game at first everything was good the graphics but when i tried to play a free flight it took me 12 minutes just too load in i didnt even get to try the game

I want more planes

There is only 2 planes I can fly and it’s quite boring so

Pretty good except for flying

Very good with a interactive cockpit but they need to make it so you DONT’T have to turn your device to fly, due to it is nearly impossible. Please make a feature so there is like a joystick on the side. Thank you.

Crashing consistently when trying to load NAVAID Pack 4 on freeflight

I use X-Plane mobile on an iPad Air 5th gen from 2022. I have the professional subscription, and suddenly after over a year of it working fine, it started to throw cloud errors, so I tried to fix my firewall to whitelist X-Plane 12 sites and other essential sites for it. After that the game would load fine, but if I went into freeflight, it would crash immediately or it would crash seconds after pressing freeflight. MMO also does this. Flight school and challenges do not. I managed to go into freeflight immediately after opening the app, then opening the map, and I saw it was loading NAVAID, and it would crash instantly when trying to load Pack 4. It’s possible that iPadOS 27 is the problem, but I don’t know. Laminar Reasearch, please fix your game.

Great plane game but…

This game has really nice graphics but there is only 2 free aircraft. I’m hoping that you would maybe add more free airplanes to the game!

Good

I enjoyed it.But pls plus the
controles

Pretty good game but needs more

The game is really nice but needs more planes and more free planes I would like more liveries on those planes and I would like if you guys add planes like 707, 787, 767, 757 and dd-10 with some liveries I would also very much like you guys to make a update on better crash and explosion animation and better city’s and make the buildings 3D so u can go hit your plane into em! Also instead of making the city buildings look like google maps I would like to make it 3D

Game crashes immediately

As soon as I press the free flight button (which is the only reason I got X-Plane in the first place) in the main menu it immediately crashes the game with no explanation or even an error code. It’s been perfectly normal up until today(9/27/2026) but it repeatedly happens now. Please fix. Other than that the game is great.

Meh

The terrain is realistic but there is only one plane that is actually free and that is a Cessna 172. But honestly, I would rather Aerofly FS global or infinite flight bc they have more planes to choose from and have good physics I would not advise getting this but it is your choice.

Pay??

Why do you have to pay for the planes that is not good but the realism is like a real world of planes your eyes are looking at
