GAMES WE LOVE

Aerofly FS Global

The sky’s the limit in this detailed flight sim.

Let your dreams take wing in Aerofly FS Global – an exceptionally detailed flight sim in which you can hop into an aircraft and soar over a swathe of the US west coast and beyond.

What we love: This simulation recreates the cockpits of planes, and real-life flight physics such as lift and drag. Have you always felt like you could probably land a plane if you had to? Well this game is likely to be the closest you can get to testing that. The controls make it all beautifully accessible and you have the option to unlock more global scenery as you go, too.

Take in the stunning, photorealistic views straight from the captain’s seat.

Quick tip: There are a lot of tutorials to help new players – but they’re on the official Aerofly website. It’s worth putting in the time to learn, as you’re likely to find your flights much more enjoyable if you do.

Meet the creator: IPACS was founded by Dr Torsten Hans and Dr Marc Borchers and specialises in making flight simulators and nothing but. The team has a long line of Aerofly games to its name on PC, but Aerofly FS Global is the first mobile iteration.
