New and better version of flight simulator: plane pilot game. So if you are a flight simulation lover and you feel yourself an airplane pilot, don't loose time, get your airplane and feel real pilot experience in our flight world. FREE WORLD - best open world flight simulation with contracts, buying home positions, saving at different home positions, earning money like real pilots do. TEST DRIVE - try any airplane you want to feel how each of them works, what is different in parameters and physics. TRAINING - our training course will teach you how to control airplane. You will learn how to do a takeoff, how to do flight maneuvers, how to do an excellent landing with different airplanes and jets. MISSIONS - flight simulator includes various missions where you can check your pilot skills + earn money. You need to pass checkpoints, far checkpoint circles, do landings. Completing flight missions you will earn money. Show your plane pilot skills in action! To give the best flight simulation experience we have developed real day time system for you. So you will get real morning, day, evening and night feeling. Also you will get a weather - wind system. Islands are unique: winter snow island, desert island with name Colorado, tropic islands, rocky islands and more. There are many airports where you can land or start game from. Airports are located on various islands across the sea. As a real airplane pilot your goal is to earn money doing contracts (transportation jobs from one island to another) and missions (you can earn rank and stars if you complete flight maneuvers well). Home positions are the next unique experience in our open world flight game. You can use your money to buy home positions, then you can save game at that position and restart the game from the saved position. If you are a good pilot, start right away, fly, earn money, buy better planes, buy homes and complete hard missions. But if you are a starter, no worries, start from training and we will help you to become an expert airplane pilot. Enjoy flight simulation and good luck on air!!!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flight Sim at 83% against Fly Plane's 32%. Flight Sim also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Fly Plane's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.2) and ratings volume (13K vs 13). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fly Plane holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fly Plane has 13K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Fly Plane's written reviews are positive against 83% of Flight Sim's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fly Plane ships an update every 8 months, Flight Sim every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 16, 2026 respectively.
