RFS - Real Flight Simulator is a world-class simulator that puts you in control of dozens of different airplanes that can be flown all over the world.

Even though flight simulators have been popular for decades, many of those titles were specifically designed for high-end computers and gaming consoles with pricey components. Luckily, that has all changed with the release of RFS - Real Flight Simulator. This game has quickly become one of the most popular simulators on the mobile app market, and it has all of the features that anyone would ever need in this genre. In addition to flying throughout the world on your own, you can also build a custom plane and cruise the skies with your friend. When it comes to flight simulators, it will be tough to find any titles that can compete with RFS - Real Flight Simulator.

Just as with many other flight simulators, there are a few different stages that players must work through in order to master the game. With the free version, you will be given access to a handful of planes, airports, and flight paths that you can explore. Those who want to enjoy everything that this simulator has to offer will need to upgrade to a pro account that unlocks new locations, planes, and game modes. To start off with the free version game, players will alter a few settings and then be given a pre-generated flight plan, takeoff point, and destination. While that game mode is eye-catching and engaging, true lovers of this genre should consider upgrading to a pro account.

The pro account immediately unlocks a wide array of new game types as well as airplanes. You will be able to create your own custom airplane before developing a flight plan that is based on real paths and airports. You can also create personalized flight plans that are going to push you and your airplane to the limits. That includes options such as additional turbulence, dangerous ground conditions, heavy storms, overloaded cargo holds, and limited fuel.

In addition to the base gameplay, players can also head into online servers to challenge their friends or simply explore the sky with strangers from around the world. You even have the option of playing an air traffic control specialist who directs flights and interacts with human and computer pilots. While the learning curve for those modes can be daunting, there is an incredible amount of content to explore.

RFS - Real Flight Simulator is a robust and beautiful simulator that can easily compete with many other titles in this genre. It is going to provide you with countless hours of entertainment, and the online gameplay offers nearly infinite replayability.
