Real Flight Simulator — Controls and playing guide

What you do

Control an aircraft's pitch, roll, rudder, and throttle during flight. Taking off, cruising, and landing call for gradual adjustments rather than car-like steering.

Controls

W/S to pitch; A/D to roll; Q/E for rudder; Shift/Ctrl to increase/decrease throttle.

A useful first decision

Make small control changes and allow the aircraft to respond. Correcting repeatedly in opposite directions can turn a minor drift into a large swing.

Cat SimulatorExplore as a cat, complete activities, and earn coins toward other breeds. Movement and jumping help reach the next task location.Check the current task before wandering far away. Use short jumps to learn the cat's landing distance near platforms.
Super Car DrivingChoose between stunt challenges, parking, and free driving. Each activity tests a different skill, from precise low-speed positioning to landing jumps.Start with parking to learn the car's turning space, then use that knowledge to line up ramps in stunt mode.
Edys Car SimulatorFree-roam a city with different vehicles and experiment with an off-road or load-testing area. The activity is open-ended rather than mission-driven.Drive the same section in two vehicles to compare their turning and braking. Reset if tipped instead of treating a stalled test as a failure.

Realistic controls and physics make this one of the best mobile flight sims available. The F-35 handles beautifully.

Had some trouble with the throttle controls initially, but now it feels natural.
