# Flight Pilot Simulator 3D! vs Flight Simulator Advanced

The clearest difference is update cadence: Flight Pilot Simulator 3D! at every 4 days against Flight Simulator Advanced's fortnightly. Flight Pilot Simulator 3D! also leads on ratings volume (53K vs 9K) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flight Pilot Simulator 3D! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Flight Simulator Advanced sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flight Pilot Simulator 3D! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flight Pilot Simulator 3D! has 53K ratings behind it against 9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Flight Pilot Simulator 3D!'s written reviews are positive against 78% of Flight Simulator Advanced's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Flight Pilot Simulator 3D! ships an update every 4 days, Flight Simulator Advanced fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
