Missions and surroundings

The game includes 27 levels with different piloting challenges. Missions range from passenger flights and stunt checkpoints to emergency water landings and escort duties. Its setting covers 150 km² and uses satellite imagery. Weather can change, including thunderstorms and snow, and the game has a day-and-night cycle and volumetric clouds.

There is also more to do than fly: players can leave the aircraft and drive cars around the environment. Multiple camera views let you switch between cockpit and external perspectives, while the cockpit has interactive controls.

Controls to consider

Flight controls include on-screen buttons, a joystick option and tilt controls using the device’s accelerometer. That gives players a choice of input styles, though the cockpit controls and flight handling may take some getting used to if you are new to simulator games. The variety of missions offers different objectives to try as you learn the controls.
