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:
- 60+ aircraft
- Global map
- Flight plans
- ILS
- Weather and time
- 25000+ airports
- Weight and balance
- Autopilot
- Joystick support
- Live human ATC
- Autoland (APPR)
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]
