Ratings and reviews

The premise seems great, the microtransactions are reasonable and not overbearing, but 3 stars due to not being able to disable gyro controls. they take priority over using mkb/gamepad if you touch the screen, which unfortunately results in a lot of wrecks. there's also no controls listed for the rudder using mkb. My experience with the gyro controls isn't great, they tend to not recognize when you're trying to descend and you end up pitching up into a stall.

A promising direction in flight games. Unique stylistic approach makes it stand out compared to other flight games. Flight controls are simple, with NAV/AP to assist. Unfortunately, there is limited aerobatic freedom as the pitch and roll are locked at a angle and there is no separate rudder. The aircraft selection is healthy with unique types such as the EMB120, A26, and Tu134. Career mode lacks depth and gets extremely repetitive quickly. Happy MicroProse picked this up, lot of potential

My style of gaming. This is the style of game I enjoy. Having started with a TRS80 model 3 before graduating to a Compaq 386, I enjoyed games looking like this. Simple but in depth for the time. Just a little imagination and you could play for hours. Would be nice if you could just pay one price (say 10 - 15 dollars) for everything including future updates, just easier that way. Well done!
