5 Best Aircraft Simulator Games on Android

You don’t need to be a real pilot to feel the excitement of flying a plane. Today, there are many simulator games that let us experience what it’s like to be a pilot.

These games can also give us basic knowledge about airplanes. This can be useful if you dream of becoming a pilot one day. Do you want to give it a try? Let’s look at the reviews below.

1. Infinite Flight Simulator

Infinite Flight Simulator is one of the most popular flight games on Android. In your first play, you will control a Cessna plane from an airport in the United States.

On the screen, you will see many controls like the yoke, flaps lever, throttle, speedometer, radar, and fuel gauge. If you are not used to flight simulators, these controls may look confusing. The game also does not provide a tutorial.

Still, if you already know about flight simulators, this game feels very exciting. In the free version, you can only fly a few aircraft, and the mode is limited to flying solo. To enjoy more planes and modes, you need the Pro version of Infinite Flight Simulator.

What I like about Infinite Flight Simulator:

• A very realistic flight simulation
• Complete cockpit features
• Camera angles can be changed for more comfort

Things to note:

• No tutorial makes it hard for beginners
• Better for players with simulator experience
• Plane crash effects are not very realistic
• Free version only has solo mode

2. Turboprop Flight Simulator

Turboprop Flight Simulator 3D is a bit different from most flight simulator games. Here, you can fly different types of turboprop aircraft, including cargo planes.

Just like a real pilot, your job is to operate the plane and deliver cargo safely. The game has nice graphics and comes with realistic controls like a yoke. You can also switch the camera angle whenever you want.

The good thing is that beginners can play this game without much difficulty. You only need to set the controls for the aircraft you want to fly. For new players, the game also recommends using simple tilt controls, while experienced players can try the full cockpit buttons.

What makes this game more interesting is the mission mode. At first, you will learn basic flights such as takeoff and landing. After that, you can try more advanced missions with harder controls.

What I like about Turboprop Flight Simulator:

• Pleasant visuals
• Turboprop aircraft as the main focus
• Control settings for different skill levels, including beginner presets
• Step-by-step flight missions from basic to advanced
• Easy-to-use controls

3. Flight Pilot Simulator 3D

Flight Pilot Simulator 3D offers nice 3D graphics with smooth animations, which makes it fun to play. The game does not only look good but also gives you many aircraft to try, all modeled after real planes.

You can fly different types of aircraft, from cargo planes and supersonic jets to military fighter jets. The challenges in the game are also enjoyable and make the gameplay more exciting.

At the beginning, you start with a small plane, the Cessna, and use very simple controls. There is no complicated cockpit. You only see a speedometer, radar, brake, and power controls.

As you move forward in the game, you can unlock more advanced aircraft with harder controls. In the early stages, you only need to tilt your phone to move the plane up, down, or sideways. Each plane also has its own tutorial, so you can learn step by step.

What I like about Flight Pilot Simulator 3D:

• Many types of aircraft
• Bright and clear 3D graphics
• Simple controls that start from the basics

One thing to note:

• Advertising banners sometimes appear and can disturb the controls

4. Metalstorm

In case you want to be a fighter jet pilot, there's an app should try. It's Metalstorm. In this game, the plane is already in the air, so you don’t need to fly it from the runway. Your task is to shoot enemies while avoiding their attacks. The controls are simple, you manage direction, speed, and use the fire and nuclear buttons.

Metalstorm puts you in real-time battles against other players in 5-on-5 PvP mode. This means you will play in teams. The game also features many famous fighter jets, such as the F-22 Raptor, F-16 Fighting Falcon, and MiG-29. You can unlock these aircraft as your rank increases.

Metalstorm is not a full flight simulator but more of an action game. The real challenge comes from fighting against other players, where teamwork is important to win.

What I like about Metalstorm:

• Exciting air combat gameplay
• 5v5 PvP mode
• Rank system with aircraft rewards
• Many different fighter jets
• Tutorial at the beginning of the game

Things to note:

• Not a full flight simulation
• Can only be played online

5. Prepare for Impact

Prepare for Impact is not the same as the other flight games. This game is made to teach players about flight safety. This game has several levels, each showing what to do in an emergency. For example, one level puts you in a plane that has to land on water.

You need to follow the instructions on the screen, such as unfastening your seat belt, putting on a life jacket, and moving to the safe exit. After that, you must sit in a lifeboat with the other passengers. If you complete the safety steps correctly, you pass the level and get a reward. If you make mistakes, you lose points and get no reward.

The game uses a joystick for movement, plus a few buttons on the screen. If your phone is slow, you can lower the graphics settings. The graphics are not the best, but the game is very useful as it focuses on education.

What I like about Prepare for Impact:

• Teaches flight safety in a fun way
• Rewards for following the correct steps, penalties for mistakes
• Crash animations when procedures are done wrong
• Simple gameplay and easy controls
• Realistic sound effects that feel like an actual flight

One thing to note:

• The graphics are not very strong

That’s the end of the list of airplane games you can try in your free time. Each game gives a different experience of flying. Which one would you like to play first?
