Infinite Flight Simulator Wiki

I bought this app a year ago, and I have loved it. It is my main simulator. For those say that the $5 is a demo, this is a lot more than a demo. You get around 8 aircraft with lots of detail and accurate physics. No other mobile flight sim comes with that many aircraft. This sim also contains stunning graphics no matter where you fly. If you buy the pro subscription, you get a whole lot more. You get nearly 40 aircraft, access to all new features in updates, global flight, and 3 multiplayer servers for each skill level. The live experience is amazing once you get used to it. You get a lot of detailed planes and thousands of worldwide airports. For those complaining about the price: I have done calculations (probably inaccurate), and this game probably costs over $3 million to operate. This sim is how it’s developers make money. Paying the 12 developers is expensive. Next, the 3 huge servers are very expensive. The satellite imagery costs nearly a million dollars. Aircraft research, the community, and other costs are thousands of dollars. Also, the yearly subscription isn’t the only option. It cost just $10 to get all these features for a month. Try it out and see how good it is. If you want to continue, buy the subscription for a longer period of time, and you will get a discount. Overall, this is a great app, and I thank the developers for all their effort that they put into this app. I hope you found this review helpful. Thanks for reading.

I’ve gotta be honest with you, when I first found this app on the App Store, I was extremely skeptical considering that I have tried many different flight simulators out there that looked amazing but turned out to be trash. Along with being skeptical, I noticed the very sharp price tag which I immediately thought was one of those trash developers that create extremely bad flight simulators that cost a lot. Although I was hesitant to buy the app, I eventually did. Right away, I noticed that there were lots and lots of aircraft, unlike other flight simulators like X-Plane which I had previously tried out. I started my first flight, and I have got to say that this app provides the most detailed, accurate, and fun experience out of any flight simulator on mobile. The physics are pretty good (sometimes there are a few glitches), I was amazed that a flight simulator, especially on mobile was able to recreate pretty much the entire world and implemented it into a simulator, and also I was blown away that you have a choice of hundreds, if not thousands of airports to choose from globally. On this note, anyone who is looking to find an extremely realistic flight simulator with a few extra bucks laying around, I would definitely think of purchasing this app and also purchasing the monthly payment to unlock all the aircraft, airports, and live servers to fly with others.

This an edit of a past review I wrote two years ago which reminded me of a time during which IF was not the greatest app with regards to performance. I can't even think about that at this point - not because the issues are nonexistent now (they are no longer) - but because of such a beautiful mobile flight simulator. I commend the developers' time and effort spent on creating the most versatile mobile flight simulator on the market. I can't put it down, which is my new issue I must give a ding. The rendition of earth is beautifully crafted and accurate, the imagery is amazing. Exploring the natural beauties of our world and atmosphere from thousands of feet high for practically no cost on my part is an absolute joy. The navaid database, though not entirely complete I've realized, is still very good and importing route waypoints is a breeze, especially when you can parse out real world routes into a CSV with an app like FltPlan Go (what I've been doing...). There's still always going to be work to be done, but this global update will undoubtedly satisfy many fellow IF users for a long time before they start to worry about anything else. If you love aviation, if you are a real world pilot, if you simply love looking out the plane window during a flight (I am all of those people...), this app is definitely a must-have. I am beyond impressed. Thank you to all the devs who made this dream a reality!!!!!

It’s honestly a really good flight simulator. But seeing updates come out here and there, and they definitely focus on airbus aircrafts far more than anything else. Kind of annoying to constantly see new liveries for aircrafts you don’t care for. The new A320 live cockpit is eh, nothing special. Kind of disappointed. I’d say this game is worth $6.99 a month. The problem is, it isn’t. It’s $9.99, and no matter what, you have to renew the cost. Now I totally understand how business works. And that’s why I concluded with, it just won’t get any better than this for having such game on your phone. I definitely prefer to outright buy a game once and only once. If I had a PC, I would be running x plane as it’s far more realistic, with letting you touch and turn every knob in the cockpit. It’s also a one time payment and you’re done. You can fly anywhere. Anytime. Any aircraft. And never make continuous payments. X plane just doesn’t focus on a mobile versus, because they’re making more money from the PC. And that’s what I recommend. If you wanna get serious about a flight simulator. Get a PC, get x-plane 11 or wait for Microsoft flight simulator to come out. That’s what I’m doing. If you wanna take simulators serious via mobile then you’re looking at basically buying an iPad just dedicated to this game to be able to run everything.

When IF first hit the App Store I wasn’t super impressed. It was very buggy and the feature set was limited. However over the years it has become a leading light in the mobile flight sim space, and actually the entire flight sim space overall. The live ATC is untouched by any other simulator out there, with real people volunteering their time to do traffic control for the rest of us. They regularly release new planes and update older ones. While the ground and sky graphics are miles behind other sims, and I’d like to see live cockpit environments where you can actually interact with switches, instruments, etc., I’ll gladly forego those features for now for the live ATC. For me it’s a learning tool towards a goal of eventually earning my PPL. Finally, there’s a large 3rd party dev community making great companion apps and websites for IF. I’m looking forward to the new global map with improved ground textures and features sometime in the future. And to all those who complain about the cost of individual airplanes or lack of other features this sim might not be for you. Getting the most out of IF requires a subscription which opens up live ATC and gives you all of the aircraft. If you’re looking for realism when it comes to ATC, download this sim, open your wallet, pay for the subscription and start flying!

This is more than a game.. it’s a top notch simulator. I mean, considering everything you get, it’s 5 stars. Just think about what other simulators offer a full multiplayer UI, with 3 different servers ranging from no rules to heavy enforcement of rules for players all types/ skill level. This sim comes with full fledged realistic air traffic control (PPL student speaking there) with tower, ground, ATIS, approach, and departure, with controllers that know what they’re doing on the expert server (tests needed to get in). On top of multiplayer, we get a full scale earth model, a flight from Houston to Frankfurt WILL take 10 hours, we get wonderful scenery and friendly staff that replies and helps whenever possible at our community forum. That’s right, FDS got a discourse website and we have a forum with 50,000+ thousand users ready to answer questions and help. You get to fly with incentive and rewards for the many virtual airlines out there, explore the globe with friends met on the community, and practice pilot skills (PPL student confirmation there) on the go! I actually credit my real world aviation from infinite flight. Nothing, and I mean nothing beats this. This is just astounding for the aspect of it being mobile, I can not give it enough stars, try it out, I guarantee you will love it!

Every since I was 10 I always wanted to be a pilot and when Infinite Flight came out years back, I was mostly excited for the Southwest Boeing 737 variants. I jumped into the game not knowing a thing, but that airplanes have to fly somehow. Over time and lots of practicing, I learned the different patterns, ATC instructions, and just how to maneuver an aircraft. As years progressed so did Infinite Flight, and to this day, it is one of the most realistic mobile flight simulators. I learned things within this simulator that I probably would not have learned until flight school. I’m currently 17 and about to enroll at Embry-Riddle next year, and this simulator has definitely advanced my knowledge about the rules of flying. With their latest update of the a350 and more available glass cockpits, and more realistic maps for global flying; I can confidently say that Infinite Flight is one of the best simulators out for pocketable devices, and if you are hesitating about buying this application, DON’T. Take this risk because I promise it is worth it. I also wanted to say thank you to the Infinite Flight team as you all really helped expand my knowledge of aviation and I am forever grateful for that! Happy flying to all!

I have a love/hate relationship with these guys- I love Infinite Flight because it’s the best mobile sim available. I hate them because it’s so long between updates, lol! I have been playing this app for several years now- since back in the day when the only commercial planes they had were a Southwest 737 and an Air France A380 and the only airport available was SFO. Everything they have achieved since then is remarkable. This sim is a work of art. It’s a masterpiece. I love the variety of aircraft and liveries available. I love being able to interact with other sim pilots while playing. I love the attention to detail. I love being able to pick any plane I want and fly anywhere in the world I want in real time. The beautiful thing about Infinite Flight is that you are only limited by your imagination. When I was a kid, I used to play with my model airplanes. This makes me feel like a kid again but it’s sooooo much better. This app is an avgeeks dream come true. The 777 rework update is incredible. I hate the wait time in between updates- but I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us next. And I will be right here waiting!

I have loved this flight Sim played it everyday basically. But I spent 5 bucks for the flight sim. I really don’t want to spend 10 bucks a month. There are a few planes I would love to buy I just don’t want to pay for for them monthly. I want to be able to buy planes individually instead of buying pro. You should make it that with pro you still get all the planes. But for the people who don’t want to pay monthly to play multiplayer and stuff like that can just buy the planes they want. Your responses in my opinion have been pretty dull on this subject you have been saying we have to keep the servers up and running. I get that it’s expensive but I just want to be able to buy individual planes that’s it. I really want the A350 it’s just I don’t have 10 bucks a month I want to be able to keep it and pay one fee. Thank you for reading this and can you please add it that we are able to buy individual aircraft instead of a pro thing for 10 bucks. I am not saying you should remove pro you should keep it but I think it should be for multiplayer and the map. You would probably make more money selling them in individual the aircraft. I just really want to buy the A350 and be able to keep it forever not paying 10 bucks a month. Thank you for reading this. Charge like 5-10 bucks a plane or if it’s a smaller plane 3 bucks.

I love this game so much. There are still a few things this would lack but this is still outstanding! First I would like to start off of what I think this could use. Number 1, 3D clouds. I’m not sure if this has cloud or not, but if it does they aren’t 3D. The only time there are clouds are if it is foggy. I’m not sure if you are working on it but 3D clouds would fit great in the simulator. Next is rain. This game has bad weather in it like high winds, but I don’t think there is rain. Rain would make this game more realistic. Next is more technical problems with the planes. I’m not one of those people who want to have an emergency every flight and become sully, but every 1 out of about 200 flights maybe a minor a major emergency or technical failures. Last is, you know how the gear rotates? I don’t think the planes have that. It would be way better for people to judge your landing if for instance on the 777. The gear doesn’t really have an angle like it does in real life. In real life it’s like a 50 degree angle but in this game it’s like a 2 degree angle. But this is a mobile flight simulator and by far it is my favorite. I really love this game and it’s features and the little details. Oh wait one more thing! A taxi light. Ok that’s it now. Thank you.

Guys, want to experience the feeling of seeing the runway in visual, being only 1 mile away from touchdown after hours of long-haul flight, then see the app suddenly crashes, the screen goes black, and you realize that you just wasted hours in your life on the app that you paid for? Then by all means, download it! Jokes aside, I have been enjoying this app up until this happened. And I know that I’m not among the minorities; there are many people sharing similar experiences. I know that it’s probably not completely the app’s fault but also the devices’ fault, and there are ways to lower the probability of this happening, such as clearing backgrounds, lower visual settings etc., there are also many things that the app developers can do. What about trying to lower the burden for devices? What about developing a function so that if we crash, when we reopen the app within minutes, we can still access the flight that we were flying? Honestly, this has been a horrendous experience for me, and this feeling makes me so sick that I don’t even want to open the app again in the near future, let alone do another long-haul flight. So yeah, definitely unsubscribe from the PRO for a while, until I got rid of this and feel like flying again.

First of all, they need 3D buildings. I know people have been saying this over and over and over again, but that’s because it would be that great to have it. At least in the popular areas like New York City, London, Los Angeles, etc. Also, please some crash animations, it’s really lame when you just crash and it says CRASH and that’s it. Also, PLEASE make the ability to set failures. I think it’d be so cool to be cruising at like 39,000 feet and then there’s an on-board fire and then you have to divert to Moscow, that’s just an example. And this next one would just be AMAZING: I think it would be awesome to add voice chat so you could talk to ATC with your own voice and vice versa. It would make the experience feel so much more realistic. I think it’d also be cool if you added more views. I love the cabin view in the CRJs, and it would be awesome to have those kinds of different views in other planes. The last one is to add a live and controllable cockpit, kind of like X-Plane. I know that you guys have already started doing a live cockpit for the A320 family, but I wish you guys would do it for the other planes too. Oh, and one last thing: Please add a Douglas DC-3.

Ok so when I first bought the game it was 5$. And then you had the option of paying $4 per aircraft, yeah you heard right, $4. But wait, there’s more, you could also choose to pay $80 per year for Infinite Flight Pro which unlocked a few extra planes, Atc, online multiplayer, and free flight. This is what’s changed, so you used to could but almost every aircraft for $4 now you can only buy a few. So Air Force One (VC-25) was at one time $4, now it can only be flown with Pro, that’s not the only plane though, almost every Boeing was that price, now they require pro. Needless to say I’m glad I purchased the aircraft when I did or I would be disappointed in paying $5 for a demo. Back to the $80... this is ridiculous. I guess people are paying it so why would they lower the price any. Devs cost a lot but the price could be lowered and more people might actually be willing to pay. So yeah this game has gone downhill a lot and might not ever go back up. I’m not paying $80 a year for a MOBILE GAME, but I guess other people are. It seems like the creators are just greedy, I could be wrong but..... that’s what it seems like. I would like to add, however that it is fun even though I don’t pay for pro and the aircraft are detailed sooo there’s that. I think that about covers it.

I used to LOVE this app, I payed 5$ for an app with great simulations! I haven’t been on in a while so I thought I should check it out again and see what greatness you brought the app. I also decided to buy some new aircraft. So, when I opened the simulator I loved the changes made, how professional you made the menu etc. So when I opened the menu that you used to use to purchase Airports and Airplanes, I realized that you need to pay 80$ dollars a year for premium membership, and you needed premium membership to do ANYTHING! I already payed money! When I pay money, I demand a full game! This is more of a payed demo of the game! I won’t spend 80$ a year for a mobile app. This is an idiotic system, you would think that you pay for a full game, with add-ons, instead you pay for a demo where all you can do is fly for 5 minutes before you run out of areas to go because you need to buy the membership for them. I don’t care what anyone says about this game being great, the add-ons and online privileges should be set apart. Also, for online privileges, a single payment of 80$ is already too much. This game isn’t built for the middle class. If you are middle class or under, I would not recommend you even look at it because unless you can pay 80$ a year, you can’t do anything. This seems like more of a scam than a game! I demand change! If you agree, write reviews like mine. They have to know! Thanks for your time.
