Possibly the best carrier landing game
Sat Mar 14 2020 InfiniteGaming28This game blows me away with the graphics for the jets and details even down to the air rushing past the wings. It also has pretty good physics and the jets feel smooth unlike most other games. Though there are some things I wish it had more of. Planes/ jets is the main one, I love the ones we have as of right now but I wish there were more to keep things new and mixed up. Maybe even possibly 1 or 2 more free ones because I have bought everything but the two F-18s and I feel like some more free ones would be nice. Also adding something like a Lockheed or a Greyhound that could really mix things up a little would be awesome. Also I seem to be having issues with the flaps, not being able to move them when getting close to landing or just not being able to use them at all. I will taxi out to the runway but when I get there I’m not able to use the flaps, making me almost takeoff straight off the runway. Over all if you the dev./ devs. Keep up the work through 2020 this could be the best sim. and even be at the top of the lists.
Amazing game, good future
Wed Jul 06 2022 F-8E is a good aircraftThis game as of right now is one of my favorites. So much in fact, that I am writing a review on it, which isn’t something I really do. This game has such insane graphics even for a mobile game! The way the gravity affects your flight and the pilot blacking out due to enduring high G force is very realistic. The only thing about this game that isn’t really detailed/looked at is the ground and water physics, sometimes the ground isn’t always realistic and your plane can’t crash by hitting the ground or water. The game reacts to water as a solid, too. However, everything else pretty much makes up for it. Now at first it may seem a little hard for carrier landings and such but after little practice it gets fun trying to do the best landing you can! This game does have a lot of potential and I feel the future updates will be amazing. Few things I would like to see added is slight tasks/missions. Maybe aircraft servicing when you land. One thing I don’t like is that the aircrafts the game lets you fly for free have no weapons or armaments. If you are going to make it to where the only aircraft with weapons are the ones you pay for, please at least just add an auto cannon on the
F-35C Lighting II. Other than that, I would love to see where this game goes with future updates.
Developer please read
Tue Mar 21 2023 MrSlerpzI’ve been playing for about a year now, and I absolutely love it! This is less of a review and more of a request. I know as of right now you’re working very hard on the F-35, so this is more for the future. I would love to see a system shutdown/engine shutdown feature, along with possibly a new aircraft, being the SU-57. There are a lot more aircraft in the world, but the SU-57, rivaling the F22, could give the game more variety in terms of other nations’ fighters. The aircraft is also just very sleek and one of the most maneuverable too. It could also be nice if the Hornet was instead an E/F Super Hornet, seeing as the legacy Hornet has already been retired, and isn’t as good as the Super Hornet. The only mod the F18 would have to go through is a minor exterior model tweak. No actual flight physics/properties would have to be changed, seeing as actual aircraft systems don’t apply/exist in-game. These are all just things I would love and feel would improve the game, but of course I have no control over this, and after all, this isn’t my game. I would love to see these additions possibly in the future, but with or without, I still love this simulator. Thanks for considering, let alone reading this!
Potential to be one of the best
Mon Dec 24 2018 nice746So far I’ve broke down and purchased all aircraft to hopefully show support or this game. At this time I’m using a iPad Pro 10.5. So far what they have with graphics and beginning of basic gyro movement the game is amazing. But unfortunately it still plays like a beta version. A lot of glitching. Doesn’t seem to let me push the nose down, I have to invert the aircraft and do from there. Seems to do fine when you first start the game but within first maneuvers it seems the gyro goes wonky, let’s not get into the fact if you pause it and go bk into game, recalibration doesn’t seem to work or anything. So I just restart the game. But man is there a lot and mean allot of potential in this game. Hopefully they will continue to update it and fix all these glitches and make the sim slot more smoother and dependable. As of rt now I purchased the F18C&D, J-15A, and the F22A. So basically bought em all to show my support for game and developers. If the problems are fixed soon I can pretty much say I’d get all the new aircraft they say are In development because when you first start the flight each jet does act differently to how it would normally fly in real world, but then it glitches. Yet If it’s not fixed by time new aircraft come out I may stay with what I have now. So hope they fix it. And then I’ll also give a 5* rating
Finally A good jet game
Wed May 29 2019 Masonman49It would be frankly dumb to give this game less than 4 stars. There’s reviews on here with 3 or even 1 Star, truthfully they don’t know what they’re talking about, or they are playing the game on a low grade device. The graphics are amazing for IOS and is one of the most high performance graphics on IOS today. There are few glitches and when there are glitches they’re minimal, no lag on an IPad Air 2, lag only occurs when super sonic air drag kicks in (the smoke/haze around the aircraft at high speeds). Landing on the aircraft carrier is a lot of fun and challenging, trying to get it perfect doesn’t really get old. After shooting down the 100th AI fighter get though does get tiring.
I’d love to see more aircraft (maybe not just jets but other military aircraft like an C-130 gun ship), a bigger map/maps, better AI to dog fight with, Multiplayer mode if that’s possible, training modes, missions (such as real life missions that the military would actually do), ground targets, maybe even customizable paint jobs on planes would be an awesome feature down the road. I’d love to be able to play this game with friends so I think multiplayer would bring a whole never level to this already great game.
Needs work and progress but still the best and most realistic mobile sim, never the less
Sat Jan 30 2021 Alphas ReviewI don’t know if this classified as a review but I do like the overall update that was made and I look forward to more aircrafts hopefully but is there also a way that the audio could be enhanced and made more realistic? Also maybe some visual effects such as the sonic cone? The biggest thing is sound because I’ll be playing back my flight and I can hear my aircraft from ground cam view when the aircraft is far away and the same sound has only been intensified and cluttered up and regardless, the sound doesn’t really give the aircraft the credit deserved when passing by at low altitude. It just sounds like a constant audio of a distant jet that never goes away and then when my aircraft passes by it goes almost dead silent. The other thing with visual effects though, I’d really love to see aircrafts have some of those visual effects when approaching supersonic or reaching the sound barrier like the sonic cone. Some more updates would be greatly appreciated but otherwise this is still my favorite sim to play and hope more aircrafts get introduced.
Best mobile game for fighter jet simulation
Fri Dec 20 2019 wutsinhowerFrom the start, this game is appealing. The graphics are stunning for a mobile game, which is already a plus. The physics is great and feels real. The HUD and landing systems are very realistic and gives the simulator a realistic feeling unlike the arcade vibe you get from other mobile fighter games. The planes you get at the start and fun, especially the F-35, which isn’t implemented in many other flight simulators. I am absolutely sold on the vapor effects during maneuvers, it’s a fantastic feature that is incredibly immersive. One problem you might run into from the start is the fact that no planes you get for free are combat ready. I would honestly love to see a combat capable F-35, especially for the beginning players. I bought the F-22 and it’s very fun, especially the combat simulation. Being able to use the funnel and different missiles is great. Some things I would like to see in the game is multiplayer, radar, more places to takeoff and land, and maybe a few more free planes. I have not experienced really any glitches so far and the game has been smooth. Overall, I love this. It’s like a mobile DCS. Please continue to develop this game!
DC-YES
Sat Nov 26 2022 OrangeScribblerThis game is by far the single best jet fighter game available for the mobile platform. From the UI, to the immaculate flight modeling, stunning graphics and high fidelity planes and system models, this game goes above and beyond, crushing all other competitors with ease. The realistic load-outs for the airplanes and painstakingly programmed weight and aerodynamic facets, prove the developer’s love and dedication to the cause of making a true masterpiece. Weight effects speed and mobility, high g maneuvers cause low pressure condensation to form over the wings. Landing gear flex realistically upon contact with the ground and arresting wires physically catch and decelerate your aircraft upon touchdown on a carrier deck. There seems to be no end to the little attention-to-detail tidbits the developer has added and I could not be happier. This game really is the DCS of the mobile world, the best on the market. Now it’s just a waiting game to see when multiplayer and AI dogfights come out. I for one am waiting, itching for the first real fight in this high fidelity mobile flight sim. Cheers to the developers, thank you for making this masterpiece.
Loads of potential
Mon Jul 10 2023 TheRealMePersonallyThis game has so much potential, yet it’s lacking in many aspects, like firstly not all aircraft have weapons (that’s a let down), second you literally cannot see a thing at night time (I recommend adding lights or night vision), third the fact that there’s only a few jets to select from, and there’s only two free ones (the only ones that don’t have weapons ofc) also you should definitely add a VTOL feature to the F35, and I’m sure there’s a plethora of other problems with this game that I can’t think of right now, but until these problems are fixed, I doubt anyone is choosing this game, like the multiplayer feature is deemed useless because nobody plays this game at all, so there’s no real reason to have it, I really wish these problems would get resolved because I see loads of potential in this game, like the graphics are really good, the physics could use some tweaking but good, and has some pretty cool features (missing quite a few important ones) but fix these problems and you’ll have yourself a great game
Game Feels Like It’s In Beta
Thu Sep 06 2018 DJ Mike FuryI bought 2 other Carrier Landing apps before where the controls were fluid, no bugs and plenty of content/missions to do. While this game has better graphics, that’s also where it ends. There are too many glitches and not much content outside “free flying” around. You should avoid this app till they get the bugs straightened out and add real content (not just planes).
For developers: For starters, I’m running the game on an iPhone X so it should be fine to meet minimum requirements. I noticed there is a glitch when the sun gets into view. All of a sudden, the plane glitches and rolls around and the screen starts to show weird pixelated geometric figures. There is also a problem with the calibration of the controls. It doesn’t seem to react well with the gyroscope. For example, if I try to pull up, I have to literally turn the phone’s screen in a direction to a point, I’m not even able to see the screen itself.
Another thing, I shouldn’t be able to take off in the middle of the ocean. The ocean acts like additional runway. If this is supposed to be a flight simulator, there are certain basic limitations of where you can fly.
