Infinite Flight is an amateur flight simulator developed by Infinite Flight LLC.[1] The game is available for Android and iOS. With more frequent updates, enhanced aircraft models, and offering custom 3D airports, Infinite Flight has become one of the leaders in mobile flight simulation.

Gameplay

As a mobile game, Infinite Flight relies on the device's accelerometer for flight control.[2][3]

Some aspects of the game are only available for those who have purchased Infinite Flight Pro. Infinite Flight Pro includes access to multi-player modes, air traffic control, and a more diverse set of aircrafts. The subscription costs 10 dollars and is billed either monthly or yearly.

Reception

In a 2011 review, Windows Central wrote that the simulator got better with experience and would likely appeal to fans of the genre.[3] In 2012, The Mac Observer gave the first release a score of 2.5/5 ("Disappointing"), comparing it negatively to other flight simulators.[4] In 2014, Engadget considered Infinite Flight one of the best on the App Store[5] and The New York Times called it the best on mobile devices.[6] FlightSim.com later wrote approvingly of the just-released C-130 aircraft, saying that the game's newer models were much better than earlier models.[7]
