I just d/l'd the simflight app for my iTouch. What other apps do you guys use for flight simming? I know about the x-plane apps, but I'm looking more for apps to use while flying. Thanks.

F.A.S.T. is an arcade-style 3d flying game. It's modern aircraft from the F-4 up to the F-22. It's pretty fun.

Hey Joe,

Do a few searches in iTunes and you will find a ton (about 20?) apps for pilots that utilize flight plan setups and a few other things. Log books, etc..

Whats cool is they are web interactive so some will be able to download key information for you.

I found quite a few one night just looking under key words like pilot, flying, airplane, etc. When you do a search in iTunes, go to the Apps field or section, and click 'View All', (I always miss that).


DJScoo,

There are quite a few simmer games now for iPhone / iPod. A really cool one is called Aera and is danged brilliant. Full graphics setup pages, etc.. Has air racing and combat. Sky Racer is cool as well.

Someone should make a flight planner like FSNavigator for it. That would be incredible!

I'm jealous of the xplane pilots. There is an app that lets you control your plane using your ipod as a wireless joystick. Not as fully functioning as a joystick but still, the neat factor is there.

On an unrelated note: Lionheart, I just bought your Kodiak Quest, great plane! love the glass 'pit. I do a lot of bush flying *no jokes please* and this will fit the bill perfectly. Just getting back into flight simming after a couple of year layoff. Nice to see new planes still being modeled.
