Infinite Flight crashes during long hauls

I have done long hauls in the past, up to KEWR to WSSS on my iPhone 7. I always have only IF, IF-A and IF-O open. However, I woke up this morning and my phone was asleep, after starting EGLL to YSSY last night. This isn’t the first time this has happened to me, as it has happened to me on my first-gen iPad Pro 12.9 inch as well. Both devices are on iOS 13 and iPadOS 13, respectively. I’m assuming this probably has something to iOS 13’s memory management or smth, as it never happened on iOS 12 and before.

Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this issue? I love doing long-hauls, and it would be a shame to not be able to do them

IOS 13 always has some problems regrading Infinite Flight. I would recommend using lower graphics to prevent crashing. This probably won’t work that well, it will just reduce the risk

I’ll try that. It never gives a “Low Memory” warning tho, which confuses me.

That are just general tips to avoid crashing

I’m assuming this has smth to do with iOS 13 killing or putting certain apps in the background after running for a while

I don’t think it is a problem of performance, as this occurred on an iPad Pro 12.9" from 2016

Checked the replay, the crash occurred 12 hours into the flight

I mean idk iphone 7 getting old, running 2 extra apps in the background would probably be a start. Yea you may not have had issues, that’s how it was with my old iphone 6. Could do 20 hour flights after a month or so of doing those flights it could barley do a 10 hours flight. Let alone run two apps in the background. My answer is no apps in the background try again and see if that helps. and do what @infiniteflight_schoo said. Once you’re at cruise, lower all settings. Have AA on and the battery saver enabled. There’s no point in keeping a device at anything but lower when doing a long haul. It’s just a waste of space.

If your app freezes sometimes that’s related to an internet issue. Losing connection and getting it back, a lot in a sort span, can sometimes cause the game to freeze then crash. But either make a thread in #support or shoot me a pm so we can discuss 👍

when i fly using my samsung it had no problem at all just my IOS so im not sure about connection

There can be any number of reasons for this to happen.

  • Try again without add on applications running and see if it is any different.
  • Try with lowered graphics settings before leaving the device unattended
  • Before long flights most people will reboot the device to clear anything out and make sure other background apps are not running. Twitter, Facebook, etc that take up valuable resources.

iOS 13 is more sensitive to resources. Make sure that your device is updated to the latest patch and that Infinite Flight is also updated to the latest as well.

I just realized I forgot I’m on the developer preview. I also forgot to reboot. I’ll install the latest developer beta, and see if it helps. I’ll do another long flight in a little while. Maybe not 20 hours tho, since i’ve flown both of those flights nearly to the end, before an app crash or an internet outage. I’ll try maybe a 13 hour flight tonight.

I also had this problem with my new iPad Air when I flighted from EGLL to ZHCC, and I did’t know how to fix it.

Being on a beta version of iOS is not officially supported as they often add additional logging and other elements that we cannot account for.

Yeah, I’ve had problems with it lol. I have it as I am a developer, but otherwise it can be annoying lol

This could be the old device I had a 2.5 year old iPod that I used couldn’t make a 7hour flight but now with a new iPhone 8 I just did a 14 from Vancouver to Hong Kong. The 7 is old but that could be my low storage also on my ipod.
