These are for me the main problems with this game up to this point.

Highly recommended.

MULTIPLAYER With a Professional subscription, you can get early access to massive multiplayer (MMO).

Massive multiplayer is in early accesswe wanted to get it in your hands as soon as possibleso were going to continue adding new features improvements over the coming months.

These are visible on the map or in the sim by toggling the Show Callsigns button in the in-sim menu.

Various bug fixes.

I flew the 777 for awhile but I mainly fly the 737 now because you can use about 90 of the buttons and it seems to be the least buggy.

There are other great planes to fly as well but there are few like the a320 that still need a lot of work.

In my opinion, the subscription is redundant because of the amount of work the planes need still and I think a one time purchase would be much better for 80 of people and its much more reasonable.

Dont get me wrong though, you can have a wonderful flight experience if you arent subscribed (like me) and most of the planes in the game are very fun to fly and give you an enjoyable flight experience (especially the 737).

Ultimately, while this game needs work and more bug fixes, I think this is the best flight sim on the App Store period and would highly recommend.

I would just love to see a one time payment for global scenery and massive multiplayer.

Hope you see this devs and would love to hear your opinion).

Ive flown in Cessna 172s several times, and had the plane flown as touchy as this games does, Im sure Id not be alive to write this.

Another thing is the plane panels are too dark and fuzzy to clearly see the instruments and what theyre doing.

Yes, I have my glasses on) Ive tried to fly with the instruments, but I get lost on the front panel, especially when the plane is dipping and swerving when Im trying to get my bearings.

Thirdly, on take-off, the rider automatically is set at a hard left.

Took me a while to figure out why the plane kept running immediately to the left every time I went to take off.

Holding the rider to the right so the plane will go somewhat straight forward can be quite tricky, especially with how touchy the planes controls and movement are.
