As a freshly graduated pilot of a small aircraft you must take off with as much cargo and as many passengers as you safely can, while avoiding terrain and obstacles. Earn points by pushing your airplane to it's limit, but beware: The more you carry, the worse your aircraft will perform! How many passengers and how much cargo can you successfully take off with, and still out climb obstacles and terrain? This game applies the real-world laws of aviation to a variety of challenging scenarios. As in the real world of flying, a headwind can be your ally. Wind reduces the speed at which you travel over ground, but it does not affect climb speed, so a strong headwind can provide pilots with a steep climb angle. Hot, High, and Heavy. Any combination of these can produce disastrous results. Hot or high atmospheric conditions indicate thin air, which reduces aircraft performance by lengthening the takeoff roll and reducing your climb angle. Too much weight will have the same effect on aircraft performance. Earn money, upgrade your plane. Complete achievements, earn gems, unlock new maps.

FlyWings Flight Simulator 2014 is the most advanced simulation already developed for iOS. We have been improving the physics for years, and finally we are proud to announce our flight simulator! Prepare for the real experience of flying a aircraft over New York city! Choose one of the most famous airports in the world and fly with more than 16 aircraft, over 400 different missions! The game also simulates weather conditions, with clear sky, thunderstorms, turbulence and more! Become a Airliner Pilot, freelance pilot, military skilled pilot or a acrobatic pilot! Your choice! We created 4 separate sets of planes: - learning aircraft - commercial aircraft - cargo and transportation aircraft - military jets Here is some planes you can choose: - Boing 747-400 - Boing 757 - Boing 707 - Arbus A320 - Cezna 172 - Beech Musketeer - Leerjet 60 xr - Antonov Av-12 - Antonov Av-24 - British Aerospace BAE 147 - F-18 - F-22 - MIG-29 - SU-35 - Antonov Av-24 Militar - NEW!!! Endeavour Space Shuttle And also, we created the 8 detailed airports in New York City - La Guardia international Airport (LGA) - John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) - Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) - Essex County Airport (CDW) - Morristown Municipal Airport (MMU) - Lincoln Park Airport (N07) - Teterboro Airport (TEB) - Linden Airport (LDJ) FEATURES: - 16 aircraft - 400 missions - Exclusive missions depending on your aircraft! - Military Jet exclusive missions - Detailed airports - Detailed world, with threes, buildings, clouds, water and ocean. - Functional instruments. - 2 types of controls: Accelerometer or touch to control the aircraft. - Dynamic instruments Some technology provided by Nasa: - Realist terrain using Nasa’s photos and elevation. - Using Nasa’s utility FoilSim 3 to calculate the physics of the airplane (really realistic). - Using real airfoils from our library in the aircrafts, like NACA airfoils and BAC airfoils. Real world simulation: - Weather forecast (clear sky, some clouds, raining and storms) - Turbulence and G-Force - Real clouds - Crashes and fire on engines. We are thinking everything we can to improve the flight simulator experience! So please, feel free to contact us to give your feedback! Have a nice flight pilot!
