Aeris (BETA)

Fun But should add A lot of more planes

This game has loads of potential and is overall a great game!

Best free flight sim. But for some reason, choosing any airport other than the example spawns you underground. please fix. other than that, good gaem

Good game, free, a bit buggy and could use some fixing. but really fun

This is a difficult one to recommend. On one hand, flying around is relaxing. Seeing familiar places is nostalgic, sometimes majestic if you know where you are flying. Unfortunately, that is all the game really has going for it. For all the negative hate it gets, the controls are the main culprit. There is a steep learning curve if you don't understand how they work, but once you understand it you will be airborne in no time. I have not seen one person explain the controls anywhere in the reviews or the discussions, so let me explain. W is thrust. Right click and drag is camera. G is landing gear. And for the most confusing part, left click is your steering. The game makes you think its left click and drag, similar to camera, but you can just click the area of the screen you want your plane to move or angle into. You can also drag after clicking, but its entirely unnecessary. If you play on a widescreen resolution, your click "area" will be off center to the left. You will have to find the center and maneuver from there. Its irritating at first, but easy once you understand. Some other reviews complain about loading airports and runways. Just google the ICAO codes for the airports you want to use. I have taken off from at least 20 different airports. Another issue is the lack of actual updates to the game. The challenge mode does not exist, so you simply have free fly mode. With only three aircraft to choose from, and no real variation to control scheme, the game ends up being a relaxing trip around the world with some manual navigation mixed in. Physics are not realistic, so do not expect fiery crashes or heavy planes. Many areas lack collision and clarity and you can fly under the map. There are way more negatives than positives about the game, but if you are looking for a relaxing, simple flight sim this can scratch that itch for a bit. If the challenge mode is ever activated, the game could get fun.

This. Is. GREAT! It takes a while to understand, and sometime the plane/map bugs out and explodes into the karman line... but that's fine! Keep on going!
