*Violations: A user can receive violations by going over 250kts below 10,000ft and most recently: User Reporting (allows the user to report another user for inappropriate behaviour.

*Standing: Your standing is based on how well you fly, you fly good: Standing goes up, you fly bad: Standing comes down.

*Username: Most usernames in Infinite Flight are usually sensible, but some are inappropriate and not suitable.

*Experience: You gain experience as you go along. You '''cannot''' lose experience. You gain it depending how long flights you do.

"Live" is a new feature from Flying Development Studio. It brings worldwide players together so they can play at the same airport. Currently you have the option to pay per Month or a yearly subscription. "Live" is currently not supported at Amazon store. FDS will support ForeFlight in the next update.
