App Review – F18 Carrier Landing

F18 Carrier Landing

WARNING: F18 Carrier Landing is a serious time killer!

I downloaded it last night and sure enough spent hours using it. F18 Carrier Landing is a lot of fun especially on an iPad. The controls are pretty basic: throttle, speed brakes, gear up/down and attitude/roll control. No missiles

There are a few missions in various weather conditions and aircraft types for you to complete. Missions include land based landings as well as the harder carrier attempt. I only succeeded in landing once on the carrier so far but am getting better.

Features:

Multi-camera replay function.
Missions: Gameplay Engine with six different missions.
Enjoy Start your flight from carrier, learn to land on the ground airbase, go for patrol and photo reconnaissance.
Carrier/Airbase landing with advanced weather conditions settings (wind, rain, fog) and different scenarios (day, dawn, overcast, night).
Comprehensive Tutorials.
Free flight mode.
Multi-touch controls.
F/A-18 Hornet, F-14 Tomcat and C-2A Greyhound cockpit view mode.
I.F.L.O.L.S. approaching system.
Controls Simulation mode.

There’s just enough here to make it fun without making it overly complicated. F18 Carrier Landing is $1.99 at the App Store.
