Flight Simulators had a boom in the 90’s. Today, there are still some known Simulators like Flight Simulator X from Microsoft. But that’s just a minority. You could think that the genre is dead, but there are still many fans but not anymore so much Games. In the AppStore, theres a new boom of Flight Simulators. In this review I’m going to test 5 of them and find the best. So let’s see which one is the best.
Description: You play a little RC-Controlled Plane. It flies the whole time in a round Parkour and has to collect some presents hanging on a hot-air-balloon.
Controls: Accelerates itself, you don’t have to control the speed. Every level you fly a little bit faster. If you collect Orange presents you fly a little bit faster too. You can fly up and down, left and right with tilting your Device.
Graphics: Minimalistic, no details like Gras etc.
Negative Aspects: There’s no break after the end of a level and it has no Multiplayer.
Result: BiiPlane is a funny game but after a few levels the game gets a little bit monotone.
Description: You fly in clear landscape with different planes. It’s the first game which which has more than 1 plane. There are different exercises like fly through checkpoints like a dolphin.
Controls: There are options to accelerate / brake, but it didn’t work for me 
. Up and Down, Left and Right works with tilting. The planes are different hard to control. The easiest is the Aero L-29 Delfin. The handling is very realistic.
Graphics: You can change the weather and it looks exiting. The planes have small details and look completly different.
Negative Aspects: The controls are hard to learn
Result: Makes fun, is varied and has a good motivation
Description: You can choose between a glyder and a plane and fly in a Landscape without any mission.
Controls: When you tap on the screen, a small menu pops up and you can accelerate with a slider. Also you can switch – glyder or plane. Up and down works as always with tilting your device.
Graphics: Before you start a game you can choose a landscape: White, brown or green mountains. Sometimes you can see a river and that was it. No more Details.
Negative Aspects: Monotone! And there’s an ad when you start the game – No go for paid Apps.
Result: The game has no sense expect flying so you get the feeling that you gave 2$ for 10 Minutes fun.
Description: You fly a Radio Controlled Plane on a farm and you mustn’t get out of the RC range. That’s it.
Controls: Either you can control it like a real RC Plane with Buttons on your Display or you can tilt your Device. You should configure it in the settings because it reacts to fast
Graphics: The graphics aren’t really exciting, there are too less details. Low point of view.
Negative Aspects: The game has no real sense, Controls are strong, poor graphics.
Result: It’s not the money worth!
In my opinion, Sky Racer 2 makes most fun because it has different planes, different Game Modes and different settings. Also the graphics are the best on my iPhone 3G even if it’s sometimes lagging. The other games are too monotone, however all are should be good enough to have 10 minutes fun. RC Plane will need many updates until you can control it so, that it makes a little bit fun.
