Tips for Long-Haul Flights

[United2]

There may be a topic already that covers this. If that is the case this can be shut down.

Recently, I have seen a bigger number of people saying that their app crashes on long haul flights. I am going to list some things that may help especially for iPhone users.

1. Turn view to Scenic - this will help keep the app moving lowering its ability to crash
2. Turn time to night - this always seems to help
3. Unplug and then plug back in - this will keep the device moving also as stated in the first (On overnighters keep it plugged in at all time)
4. Turn graphics to the lowest setting - this will keep the game smoother (especially for iPhone)
5. Turn off HUD
6. Turn “Anti Aliasing” off
7. Lower your screen brightness
8. Turn on low power mode
9. Restart device before every flight

Also, newer iPads are really good for Long hauls and Ultra Long hauls.

Hope this helps.

We are aware of a slightly increased crash rate on 19.4 with iOS. The cause of this is not 19.4 directly, but a framework used together with iOS 13 that is leaking a substantial amount of memory. The less RAM your iOS device is equipped with, the greater the risk is of being affected.

Now more than ever, the steps quoted should be followed when attempting a longer flight as it will greatly reduce the risks of experiencing a crash.

General iOS tips:

• One great thing to do before launching Infinite Flight, is to perform a soft restart of the device. This is a quick and reliable way of making sure your device is operating at peak efficiency. This is done by holding down the power/lock button until you see “Slide to power off”. Then hold down the home button until you’re returned to the home screen. For iOS devices without a Home button, a restart is recommended as the soft restart feature does not exist on those.
• Make sure you don’t have “Low power mode” on your iPhone. If you have, the battery icon in the top right corner is yellow. This can be deactivated from Settings → Battery, or from “Control Center” depending on how you have it set up. Having “Low power mode” enabled while using Infinite Flight could result in a performance degradation.
  Note : This is not the same as “Low power mode” in Infinite Flight. This is a device function.

If you are experiencing these crashes, make sure you reduce the following settings:

• Texture Resolution: Low
• Anti Aliasing: Off
• Live Aircraft Count: Low to None, None especially on Final.
• Rendering resolution: Low

This will in addition to what’s already been mentioned, lower the chance of experiencing any crashes.

Of course we are working hard to find a way to resolve it, but please try the steps above in the mean time.
