Infinite Flight is an amateur flight simulator developed by Infinite Flight LLC.[1] The game is available for Android and iOS. Infinite Flight is active on Twitch, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube and posts regularly to keep users informed about upcoming updates. Infinite Flight has partnerships with NavBlue, FlightChops, COPA and the NGPA.

Gameplay

The simulator includes single-player and multi-player modes, including an option to play as air traffic control.[2] As a mobile game, Infinite Flight relies on the device's accelerometer for flight control.[2][3] Infinite flight's waypoint and navigation systems are provided by a partnership with NavBlue, an Airbus subsidiary software company.

The simulator contains:

An Airbus A220 taking off from Paris in Infinite Flight (2022)
An F-14 escorting a 777 in Infinite Flight

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]
