78/100

Xtreme Soaring 3D is a surprisingly deep flight simulator that focuses on the graceful, technical world of gliding. Unlike combat flight sims, the challenge here is environmental—you have to master thermal and ridge lifts to stay airborne. The flight physics feel authentic, particularly the wing-flex simulation and the way the gliders react to changing wind conditions.

The use of high-resolution satellite imagery for locations like Innsbruck and Utah provides a scenic backdrop that makes the long flights enjoyable. It’s a niche title, but for aviation enthusiasts, it offers a level of technical detail—like the fully functional cockpits and compensated variometers—that is rarely seen on mobile. It captures the 'zen' of flight perfectly.

Have you ever dreamed of soaring the sky like a bird, circling on an invisible thermal and staying aloft just by your skills and the forces of natures?
Or are you already a glider pilot who looking for more funs while you're not flying?
Welcome to XtremeSoaring3D, one of the best soaring/flight simulation available for mobile devices. It captures the beauty, the excitement and the technology of the soaring sport.
Beside flying, the beauty of soaring sport is also the landscapes, the countrysides that we glide over. Therefore, we manage to integrate terrain data in this sim using high resolution satellite images and elevation. This resulted in a look real, beautiful landscapes with highly detail airport hangars and runways.
FEATURES
* Thermal lift and ridge-lift
* Multiplayer over the internet.
* ASK-21 trainer gldier, DG-808S and LS-8 high performance glider with full function cockpit.
* 360 degrees look around cockpit, and multi-touch zoom.
* Realistic terrain with high resolution satellite images, detail airport: Zeltweg (Austria), Santiago (Chile), Omarama (New Zealand), Oahu (Hawaii).
* Realistic flight characteristic, accurate performance, wing-flex.
* Realistic flight instruments, Total Energy Compensated variometer.
* Winch launch take-off.
* Thermal-lift, ridge-lift simulation.
* Online competition.
Requires iOS 9.1 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Tips

Finding Thermal Lift

Watch your variometer! When it begins to beep and show a positive climb, you've hit a thermal. Begin a steady circle to stay within the rising air and gain altitude.

Winch Launching

During a winch launch, keep your nose slightly up but be careful not to stall. Release the cable once you reach the maximum height to begin your glide.
