RC Plane 2-0.99 (Frozen Pepper)

The sensation of flying is beyond extraordinary.  I still remember the first time I sat behind the stick of a KitFox and soared over the ever diminishing landscape.  The jubilence and excitement I felt, I will always remember.  This game not only embodies the nature of flight but embodies the joy too.
Designed by a three developer teams this game has what every RC enthusiast enjoys, planes and lots of them.  You start off with 4 planes with the option to buy more via IAP. These planes can come bundled with game modes or separate.  Now let me start off by saying that this is a full game and the only thing the IAP do is give you extra plane options.  The planes included at the start are a Mig (fast plane, very aerobatic), Cessna(beginner plane, easy to control), Pro Cessna( better version of original Cessna), and a Stunt plane(fast and acrobatic).  The Cessnas are the best planes to start with as they are relatively slow and give you the opportunity to learn the controls for each version of channel remote. 3ch planes do not have a rudder and are for beginners and pros.4ch planes do have a rudder and that gives you way more control of your plane to do aerobatic stunts. I found it quite easy to transition from 3ch to 4ch, in fact the first plane I took to Free Flight was a 4ch plane!  There are two control sticks on the sides of your screen and depending on your control method will make your plane either turn, accelerate, decelerate, go up, or go down.
The content of this game is quite robust with two complete maps.  You can take any plane you want into these two maps in the two original modes. The first mode or Free Flight allows you to basically mess around with your plane and get acquainted with how it controls and reacts. The second mode is where you use your experience to complete a Air Race.  In Air Race you collect coins scattered over the landscape and try to get a good score.
The two maps are Tuscany and Seaside. In Tuscany you can fly to one of seven villages and is very wide and open.  In Seaside it is a little bit smaller than Tuscany but is fun to fly over the water and see how close you can get. They are both very nice maps but some additional places to fly would be nice.
Overall, this is a great flight simulator with smooth controls that is a definite must-have for flight enthusiasts and anyone that is even interested in flying. Don't delay because its only 0.99 for a limited time!
