However, assuming that you’d rather fly as ‘yourself’, by imagining yourself in the cockpit and using your smartphone as the main joystick, then read on for four other top options. But, you know what, I don’t care – RC PLANE 2 is all about the care-free flying experience.Īnd don’t worry about the in-app purchases – even RC planes are insanely expensive once you get ‘into’ the hobby, so a virtual plane that can be crashed and back up and running in a millisecond works out much, much cheaper! Alas, whenever I tried this, the auto-match system failed to find me an opponent. In addition to the ‘Flight School’ (training missions and scenarios being something of a common theme when looking at flying games/sims here!), there’s now a multi-player option, pairing you up with a RC enthusiast somewhere else in the world, each armed with a model with basic gun and the theory then is that you go dog-fighting. And, as the screenshot below shows, there’s even modelling of having to ‘calibrate’ each stick, adjusting it so that level is level and centre is centre, and so forth… (in a real plane, imperfections in each model make these necessary.) There’s a choice of ‘3 channel’ or ‘4 channel’ control, for the real RC purists, with the latter coming into its own with some of the more complex models. from one vantage point, but the scenery is too extensive for this to be very practical and in any case, most of the fun here is riding ‘with’ the plane, swooping around cliffs and structures, controlling it all with standard power/aileron/rudder RC joysticks, using your iPhone touchscreen. RC PLANE 2 can be flown as a traditional radio control simulation, i.e. In this case you’re flying – by (virtual) wire, taking off, swooping and attempting to land without too much damage. Perhaps not quite what you were expecting in this list, but the demographics for smartphone enthusiasts and lovers of gadgets, especially radio controlled gadgets, have a lot of overlap.
Having said that, pick your favourite from numbers 1-4 below and stick with it – it’s probably best not to spread your in-app purchases across four different games/systems! But then we’re talking about immersive games that you’ll spend dozens (if not hundreds) of hours in, so I doubt the extra purchases needed will come as a huge burden to anyone. If you get ‘into’ any of the titles below then you will want to buy some more planes and scenarios using the in-app purchases, so expect to end up paying up to £10 or $20 in kitting the game out as you like it. I should also add a practical note that flight simulation games can get relatively expensive. Of course, personal preferences will play a part here, but I’ve selected a top 5 (after trying over 20 candidates) that includes something for all tastes – pure simulations, arcade-ish action and even radio control. iOS offers a wide range of possible titles (over 100 in all) in the Store – but where should you start? What, after extensive testing, are the top 5 flight simulation games on the platform?
#BEST FLIGHT SIMULATOR FOR MAC 2015 PC#
‘Flight Simulator’ was one of the very first PC games and similar ways to get up in the virtual air have existed on every computing platform, desktop or mobile, ever since. Some genres of game transcend computing platforms, persisting from generation to generation.
