Carrier Landings App Reviews

This game has to have one of the worst physics engines I have ever seen. The flaps do absolutely nothing except slow the plane down on landing but if you take off with them fully deployed they have no aerodynamic effect at all. All stalls are completely unrecoverable; no matter what you try, you just keep falling to earth. Flying supersonic looks like youre flying at 150 knots......I can go on but it isnt worth it.

Plot is better than the previous version, the problem is the controls are worse than before. Please change the controls back to the old version.

Cant get landing gear down in tutorial mode. Graphics are excellent but just a little buggy. Hope next version will rectify these issues.

it is a very good game but when i bought the arcs + volcano package it said you already bought this but it hasnt been downloded

It looks great but crashes on every load screen, please fix it :)

Paid for the canyon pack. Took the money and says it hasnt been downloaded yet..... What gives man?

Great game but you should have just made an update instead of a game cause I bought all the planes in the old game so thats like 20$ down the drain

After playing the previous version, I can definitely say this one is a huge improvement. The only major flaw is that the app crashes every time I complete the first mission. Its like clockwork. "Congratulations!" *crash*, "Congratulations!" *crash*. Ill give it 5 stars once the bug is fixed. Thanks!

Loved this game when I had ios7. Dont download till they optimize it for iOS 8.

Avoiding radar missions are stupid why avoid radar when just taking pictures of a dumb oil field..

I love all the planes and scenarios. Awesome game!

Very good

Its good until "recon" where you have to fly over mountains 2000 ft tall and cant fly over 500 and the ft meter yelled you how high you were 30 seconds ago. Avoid at all costs until next update to fix this

One of the best games on the App Store !

This game is so realistic and fun Ps: add more buildings

Entertaining, one of the games i have played most, and because its fun i want to add some constructive points that could make it better: Flight model: some areas of the flight model have improved since early versions of the original, however here are some elements of the carrier landing 1 (version 3... Maybe) that were better. What is completely unrealistic and incredibly frustrating when setting up for landing ( of which there is a lot in the game) is the complete unwillingness of the nose to slice ( drop) in a gentle turn with relaxed pitch input. Hence final turns that in reality should be 40-55 degrees of bank with a dirty jet are instead cranked to 110-120 degrees of bank fighting to get the nose to drop through the horizon. Try looking for youtube vids of jets flying closed pattern final turns like that. Doesnt happen. In version 3 ( Im even more sure now, looking back) of the original game the model was not like this. You could set up nicely perched, 1000 agl in the downwind cut the throttle, throw on some bank (40-55) and be rewarded with a nice stable descending turn to short final. It was like a sport in and of itself in the old game. That was before the ability to look around, which actually wasnt so bad in the old game because the view out he HUD ( especially the velocity vector and pitch ladder) isnt skewed like it is now. One last note on the bank/pitch/nose rate observation: it really doesnt add up in the campaign missions with "red 2" (which is an odd call cause clearly he is leading you). When trying to hold form in a turn, red 2 has a gentle 30 odd degree bank, while you have to throw on 60 to match the same turn rate. Doesnt add up. Perhaps it would be best if red 2 was modelled with the same flight engine, allowing an actual opportunity to really fly form. I had a frustrating experience, tucked in echelon right ( but more like offset trail cause I couldnt catch him), thinking this looks pretty cool, when instantaneously red 2 gently turns across my nose, which I could have matched except for the massive, excessively non linear speed drop by red2 that instantly had us in the same place at the same time. Not fun, and unrewarding. So, please take this as a positive, great game, with a few tweaks would be even better. So..... flight model tweaks ( let that nose slice!) + aligned HUD + same flight model for red 2/ other aircraft = a big leap in further in the awesome direction

This game is fantastic, Im very impressed and after using the multiplayer link with my iPad Im blown away!! This is a powerful feature many other games have yet to take advantage of! Only issue with the multiplayer screen link is when I set my iPad as the screen and my phone as the controller my progress doesnt save, even if I completed the mission. Thats a bug that I cant get past! Hopefully this will be fixed. Other than that, having more places to land would be cool. 5 stars once this is fixed! Ill be buying the pro version right now

Ver 1 had great flying mechanics, graphics were very good and Ver 2 just adds to it. New missions have been added as well that makes the free version very good value. I believe the paid Ver adds many more missions. They also added ability to use 1 of 3 catapults on aircraft carrier which is cool. Watching the replay is also cool as well with the Cinema mode. Minor gripes: fix the small glitch where the plane sometimes jumps up for no apparent reason. Need a bit more variety for missions.... Maybe its the free Ver but there are 3 levels of missions but they are pretty much the same. Some suggestions to make this even better: if possible, add some other planes landing or taking off, especially on aircraft carrier cos it does get a bit a bit lonely flying around by yourself. For paid Ver, would be cool to select your plane below deck and have elevator take your plane up to flight deck. Overall, Great job! 4 for gameplay but 5 for value.

Great game challenging and entertaining

Good optics, challenging too!
