F18 Carrier Landing App Reviews

This application always quits immediately before it opens. I deleted and reinstalled it and it still didnt work

This is one of the best on the go simulators I have seen and played! I would add joystick modes, and helis!

Very neat game that is simple and fun to play! The ability to use your iOS device to pair with your Mac is another added bonus. However, I do wish it was bluetooth instead of wi-fi connect. I also dont understand why if I paid for both the version for my Mac and my iOS, why must I pay to add the Harrier on my iOS device? This should come automatically. Other than that, good game!

Overall, good simulator for the price! It will keep you busy for a while and is REALLY fun. There are a lot of small details that might go un-noticed (such as all the details in scenery, the really AWESOME CAMERA ANGLES FOR REPLAY...from the tower, runway, landing gear, etc.). However, if you are a die hard simulator fan, you will want more! Great foundation to build on so I cant wait for the next update! Here are my comments/suggestions and this is being very picky! 1. The "feel" and physics to the overall simulation feel pretty real but I found I had to dial the sensitivity back for the jets. No big deal though. 2. When you land, you have to come to a complete stop on the runway instead of requiring you to exit the runway to a hangar or parking spot. The carrier makes sense though. 3. LIke another reviewer wrote, you have to pause the game to get to the map. Why cant we just push "m" for map? 4. Maybe I missed it but I had to figure out how to takeoff and land the Harrier Jet in vertical mode. Its pretty cool when you figure it out. 5. Rudder would be nice, especially for harrier when hovering (so the yaw axis can change rather than using the ailerons which "sway" you back and forth in the Harrier). 6. When misaligned on final approach, there is no way to pan left or pan right from the pilots perspective in first person in the cockpit. This gets frustrating since you cant tell where the runway is when you are turning....until it suddenly appears on your screen. Then you have to make a massive adjustment to get on the runway or simply go around. 7. The air traffic control audio and lingo doesnt sound realistic. "Romeo Victor, Fly to Carrier." and "Romeo Victor, you are allowed to take off from carrier," etc. 8. Flying around is fun but it is time for real missions....to launch missiles, bomb something, etc. Thanks for reading, and I hope this helps!

Very disappointed. Yes, the game runs smoothly and the graphics are ok, although very bland. But, to the best of my knowledge, the game does not support any joysticks for control. For any "simulator", thats rather unacceptable… :( The physics are better than Sky Gambler games, but theyre still off by a wide margin… Wish I had my money back.

I love it. It has wonderful graphics, and whoever designed it is a genius.

Sometimes flight simulators are just too complicated. But this game is simple and perfect! The aircraft are really cool with good graphics making them look realistic. If you are on edge… Buy it. The game is worth more than the $2.99 its offered for! You wont regret it. I cant wait to get updates with new aircraft. I would be extremely happy if there was a Water landing big aircraft. And other air traffic would also be awesome.

I am hooked and spend 90 mins at least, every day, landing. Great visuals and simple to fly. It took me some time to figure out the radar and the approach angles but now I am able to land 2 of 3 times Some of the issues I have faced and upgrade suggestions are 1) GPS like features that let me know where in the island I am located viz a viz the target 2) What does intercept mean .. I follow the 767 aircraft at a safe distance but there are no shoot buttons 3) More time to practice allignment for refuelling 4) A light appears next to the radar when you get close to the carrier or airport. what does this mean 5 The B button for air brake is not easy to reach would have been better if it was A as it will be next to the throttle 6) The carrier sometimes turns when you are approaching to land.Is that intentional Appreciate if you could provide some tips and tricks, if any to avoid any of these issues.

ADD MORE PLANES. I really want to see like the f22 raptor added and the opsrey add to the game

This game is very good, but lacks a few things: 1) Weapons and targets. 2) More planes 3) More missions DEVELOPERS: PLEASE add these few items into the next version of this game! Other than those few things, this is a great game.

IT I ASWOME BUT NEED JOYSTICK SUPPURET

its good app, but i wish if there a flight mode option and its good idea if you upgrade your app and provide a civil airplnes Boeing - Airbus that will be awesome

F-35 needs some work though! I cant rotate the engines when taking off…glitches when the fighter enters the ramp… flaps dissappear, engine latch dissappears too! but awesome overall!

This game is good and I enjoyed it. But after this times update, I cant run it now. Every time it will just tell me that it quited unexpectedly. Hope it can be fixed for the next update.

This is my favorite game to play on my Mac. And this update is the BOMB. Much more detail has been added, plus two more aircraft, and better physics! MY GOD. I love this app. UPDATE Fullscreen no longer works. Im not sure if its just my computer, but all I get is a black screen with "streaks". Please fix if you can!

Love the app, but it really needs rudder control.

Its amazing for the price. A legit simulator. Totally awesome that they keep updating it.

1.Please make forced landing into possible,such as langing on the sea or a long road and that would be more interesting. 2.Rudder control is absolutely necessary,a real navy pilot cannot landing on a carrier/RWY without it,so please add in rudder control in full control mode. 3.Please make the take off/landing details more real because this is a FS game.

I rated it one star for one reason; to help motivate the creators to keep creating. IT NEEDS MORE LEVELS! This game is, hands down, the best flying game in the app store. It has the most intuitive controls. Its simple, yet challenging enough. Other flight games are either too simple, or way too complicated (in a bad way.) They have too many things going on etc. This game is perfect in the sense that the level is open and it allows you to fly freely. Despite this though, there is literally only one level. They let you take off from various places, but there is only one true level. Im amazed that this game is rated as high as it is, with that being the case (just a testament to how perfect the flying aspect is.)The architects need to create new levels! If you create even one new level, I will raise the rating to a 5. Ive been waiting about 6 months! Stop worrying about creating new planes, and just create a new level. Please! Great game otherwise :-)

I am happy to rate this game because IT SUH UH UH UCKS!!! If the developers wanted to created a game about carrier landings then they missed some key components. Obviously a carrier landing is nothing if it is not about the carrier approach, and the approach is seriously limited - almost impossible for several reasons. 1. landing is impossibly realistic because your orientation relative to the strip or carriers orientation is not known. If you are on a final approach and off, it is impossible to line up the plan, say comign around third base, because you cant look left or right out of the cockpit only straight forward. So when to round second base and third is not known. It COULD be known say if the least you were given is direction of the carrier - say 36 or 27 or whatever AND be able to turn your head to the left! Not asking for a lot of technology in the cockpit! A lot of failed appraoches merely becuase the pilot doesnt have a neck that swivels. So messed up. 2. You can approach the carrier but instruements tell you nothing about how the carrier is oriented so you can approach it from the side. There is an arrow on the radar that is telling you something about the orientation but it is not intuitive at all nor are there instructions that explain how the arrow direction correlates to the approach. 3. There are no rudder controls if you do get sideways or have an off approach anyway. The only way to correct the approach vertically is with ailerons using an S turn , which obviously uses up a lot of approach real estate. A lot of times too much. Needless to say advance but perhaps necessary approach maneuvers like a slip are not possible. 4. Rudders do not give better lift on take off. 5. Planes do stall out and have different rotate velocities, but I cant guess where this information, which is different for each plane is given. Im all for video games that are just fun shoot em ups or simulators. This one is not a video game in that you can fly armed missions or do tactical dog fighting or anything, so since it isnt that it would be great if it was a simulator where you could perform carrier and dry land approaches and landings, but it is not realistically that either.
