# Flight Sim vs MCAS Simulation

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flight Sim at 83% against MCAS Simulation's 33%. Flight Sim also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6). MCAS Simulation's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MCAS Simulation sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Flight Sim asks for nothing beyond the download.

MCAS Simulation holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Flight Sim's written reviews are positive against 33% of MCAS Simulation's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Flight Sim ships an update every 7 months, MCAS Simulation fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
