Carrier Landing HD

The game is great. The graphics are great & it is a lot of fun compared to my other sims. The only thing I wish they would add, well things: a Rhino, Viper, & a Eagle (the Echo variant). I would buy those as add ons to the game & enjoy the different variety of airframes to play with. Well as of the latest update, the F-18 can’t even get off of the ground before the left wing dips, nose kicks right, then hops up. After which it comes back down then doesn’t left the ground until about 200KIAS, then IMMEDIATELY departs; performing a series of flips regardless of what inputs are put into the control surfaces. Then it finally hits the ground bouncing like a rubber superball that you get from a vending machine for a quarter. This is a very big disappointment as the F-18 is what I mainly fly in this sim. This needs a very serious & immediate fix ASAP. It would also really be nice to have at least an F-18E/F & an F-16N in this sim as well as an Eagle since you already have a Raptor in this sim. The debacle with the F-18 in the latest update drops this from a 4-⭐️ rating down to a 2-⭐️ rating for me. Well, this is again in need of an update. No matter which airframe I try to use there is a violent departure upon takeoff followed by an immediate crash. An update, in fact a regular series of updates should occur & again as I have said before new airframes should be introduced, mainly the F-18E/F, F-16N, & an F-15E (as there is already an F-22 in sim for purchase).

Probably one of the best flight sims in the App Store. The flight controls are snappy and easily felt, the carrier landing and mid-air refueling is challenging, and requires a lot of input from the player and not the game forcing the player to rely on cheesy automated physics. A few concerns I have though are the lack of avionics and instrumentation data inside the cockpit. It is a nice detail to have the HUD display being different in each aircraft, but it would also be nice to feel a little bit more immersed in the cockpit with the gauges and avionic data functioning and behaving normally. Another issue with the cockpit is some aircraft have a lack of stick and throttle animations. The F-14D has almost all of the animations needed (stick, throttle, wing sweep, etc.), but aircraft like the J-15 and F/A-18 do not. Although the addition of blackouts and red-outs are nice, as well as the effect of shaking from G-forces along with the ability to not only look around the cockpit, but look forward and shift the camera from left to right is nice and makes up for some missing immersion, but adding more cockpit data and animations would really top this simulator off. Aside from a lack of interior details, the exterior is stunning. The moisture being compressed against the air-frame in high-G maneuvers is present, the air flowing off of the wing tips is present, and a really nice touch is that each aircraft has a different appearance when put under these different stress factors (wings bending, shaking, etc.). With that said, nice work and I would love to see you guys pick this sim back up and add more content like air to ground combat and even legitimate air to air combat and not just drones. Please keep up the good work, and thank you for all of your care and effort in this amazing simulator!

This game as of right now is one of my favorites. So much in fact, that I am writing a review on it, which isn’t something I really do. This game has such insane graphics even for a mobile game! The way the gravity affects your flight and the pilot blacking out due to enduring high G force is very realistic. The only thing about this game that isn’t really detailed/looked at is the ground and water physics, sometimes the ground isn’t always realistic and your plane can’t crash by hitting the ground or water. The game reacts to water as a solid, too. However, everything else pretty much makes up for it. Now at first it may seem a little hard for carrier landings and such but after little practice it gets fun trying to do the best landing you can! This game does have a lot of potential and I feel the future updates will be amazing. Few things I would like to see added is slight tasks/missions. Maybe aircraft servicing when you land. One thing I don’t like is that the aircrafts the game lets you fly for free have no weapons or armaments. If you are going to make it to where the only aircraft with weapons are the ones you pay for, please at least just add an auto cannon on the F-35C Lighting II. Other than that, I would love to see where this game goes with future updates.
