82/100

Absolute RC Plane Simulator is a niche title that prioritizes accuracy over arcade fun, and that’s exactly why it succeeds. For RC hobbyists, it’s a perfect way to practice maneuvers without the risk of a thousand-dollar crash. The physics engine is remarkably detailed, accounting for wind, lift, and stall speeds in a way that feels 'heavy' and realistic.

The controls are designed to mimic a real 4-channel RC transmitter, which can be daunting for beginners but is rewarding for those who want to learn. The environments are sprawling and provide enough verticality to practice loops and rolls. It’s not a 'game' in the traditional sense, but as a simulator, it is one of the most honest and technically sound offerings on the App Store.

Dinsun Review

I'm going to be blunt: if you aren't an RC hobbyist, don't download this. It isn't 'Ace Combat.' It’s a tool for people who don't want to crash their $500 physical RC planes and want to practice on their phone first. The physics are quite good, and the control sensitivity is appropriately punishing.

The problem is that it looks like a tech demo from 2010. The environments are static and ugly, and the interface is a mess of menus. It serves its purpose as a trainer, but as a 'game,' it’s a failure. It’s dry, boring, and visually unappealing. But I respect its commitment to actual RC physics, so it gets a pass for its niche.

    Please try our full featured professional RC flight simulator ClearView for PC here: http://rcflightsim.com - see the video of ClearView bellow.

    Notes:

    1. This is not a game. You are controlling flying RC models that reacts like real flying models. It takes some time to learn, and again, do not expect "arcade" style controls.

    2. The onscreen control sticks are just indicators! They are made small so they do not obscure the screen.

    *** You do not need to keep your fingers on them ***

    Sliding your finger anywhere on the right screen half affects the right control stick , the same for the left screen part - sliding finger there moves the left control stick.

    We suggest selecting beginner settings at first few days before you can comfortably progress further.

    3. iPad 1 users should not purchase extra landscapes, due to lack of memory. Getting extra planes is OK.
