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

This is a neat combination of a casual flight simulator and a career game. Unfortunately, there are a few rough edges. 1. Gyro based control I personally find way too finicky. Please allow for touchscreen based control as well. 2. External camera always resets to chase position, but I think a true orbit camera would be nice to enjoy the view during the quiet parts of the flight. 3. Skip forward is a good idea, but it should skip to ToD not final approach. 4. Landing without gear doesn't crash
