Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fly Plane at 4.3 against RC Flight Simulator 2016's 2.9. Fly Plane also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 19) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). RC Flight Simulator 2016's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
