One hint -- it ain't P3D...







Sometimes all you need is a $169 phone and a $7 flight simulator!

Infinite Flight on my Nokia 520.

I copied/pasted the first URL into my address bar, and it wanted me to enter a password, or sign up for a MS account.

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

Sorry about that, I don't know why Onedrive insists on a login for things like this, after I pressed the 'no login required' button.

Back to Postimage.org then!

(One of the reasons why I wanted to use Onedrive is that Windows phone screenshots are automatically uploaded, which should make it easier to share. It doesn't.)

laugh.gif Isn't that what computers are for?
Nice shots - where do they get their models/scenery?

They do have a blog, but don't give away too much about the development side of things. Only hint I can see is that they say how they choose the next project based on user suggestions, subject to their 3D modeller's ability...

They also have a support forum on Avsim.

Current aircraft are A-10, A321, A380-800, 717-200, 737-800, 747-400, 787-900, C-17, CRJ-200, 172, Cirrus SR22, F/A 18, P-38, Space Shuttle, Spitfire Mk VIII, Super Decathlon. Not many have a choice of liveries. Not all have cockpits.

Just 4 US scenery regions, plus Sydney, which includes 32 airports.

I was just intrigued to see what they could do with a 50MB app, plus 100MB of addons. (So far -- the default aircraft is the 172, you download the rest. I've only tried a couple so far.)

Of course being on a phone, it's controlled by the built-in yoke:)

It is a very respectable technical/coding achievement..but I want a 4 x 1m flexible screen to give me a 180 degree display. A phone won't quite hack it sad.gif
