  • Frustrating in-app purchases
  • Basic gameplay

Satisfy your pilot dreams with the flight simulation game, Flight Simulator 3D: Airplane Pilot, created by Yes Games Studio. This app enables users to experience the thrills of being a pilot, but how well does it hold up in comparison to other flight simulation games?

Graphics and Gameplay

The graphics of Flight Simulator 3D: Airplane Pilot are commendable, although they don't quite match up to some of the other flight simulation games available. The game is designed in 3D, but lacks the photo-realistic look that would have added a touch of authenticity. Unfortunately, the graphics have a rather artificial appearance. The aircraft's details appear to be mere textures superimposed on the 3D model which, in some instances, result in visible pixelation. The absence of ground details like people and foliage further detracts from the immersion.

The gameplay is rather basic. The player is tasked with flying around, attempting to reach random checkpoints while avoiding obstacles. The airplane is controlled by tilting the device, which is an enjoyable mechanic, but not particularly groundbreaking.

Free Play?

The main issue with this game lies in its in-app purchases. While the game is marketed as free, and users can indeed fly a plane and attempt a few levels without paying, access to advanced levels and additional aircraft requires payment. This can be a source of frustration for users expecting a fully free game and can make the game feel more like a trial version of a paid game.

Verdict

Flight Simulator 3D: Airplane Pilot is a standard flight simulator game. However, its subpar gameplay and graphics alongside a misleading free-to-play model make it less enjoyable than it could be. For a truly rewarding flight simulator experience, users may want to explore other options.
