Infinite Flight is a mobile flight simulator. Developed by Infinite Flight LLC, it was initially released in 2011 and is available on iOS and Android.
Gameplay
The simulator includes single-player and multi-player modes, including an option to play as air traffic control.[1] It also includes flight lessons to provide flying guidance for beginners.[2] As a mobile game, Infinite Flight relies on the device's accelerometer for flight control, but features joystick support as well.[1][3][4]
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.[5] In 2014, Engadget considered Infinite Flight one of the best on the App Store[6] and The New York Times called it the best on mobile devices.[2] FlightSim.com later wrote approvingly of the just-released C-130 aircraft, saying that the game's newer models were much better than earlier ones.[7]
