Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Airplane Pilot Flight Sim 3D at none against FlyWings 2018 Flight Simulator's 11. Airplane Pilot Flight Sim 3D also leads on rating (3.6 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (4.8K vs 383). FlyWings 2018 Flight Simulator's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months) and review sentiment (33% vs 14%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Airplane Pilot Flight Sim 3D holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Airplane Pilot Flight Sim 3D has 4.8K ratings behind it against 383, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Airplane Pilot Flight Sim 3D's written reviews are positive against 33% of FlyWings 2018 Flight Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Airplane Pilot Flight Sim 3D ships an update every 8 months, FlyWings 2018 Flight Simulator every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
