It was always the first option when you searched up “flight simulator” (at least in 2017). Eventually got it out of curiosity. I think I joined the forum because I had an “issue” with the F22 (it wasn’t an issue I just didn’t understand aerodynamic effects). Rest is history and glad to be here!

Nice topic :)

I was looking for a flight sim a year ago, and I found this one. I deleted it originally but came back to it. My iPad will never be the same :)

I found the game in late 2014 I played free for quite a while with no account I lost the game until 2019 where I’ve been playing ever since :)

I found Infinite Flight through looking through the App Store for plane games back in 2014. It was one of the ones I kept because I liked the aircraft included. I even got the 787-9 and 737-800 back when you could buy individual aircraft.

I still remember the day Global came out. I’ve never been that excited about a game update before. Literally a core memory. It wasn’t until 2018 that I got pro for the first time. After that, I made it a yearly habit of getting a one month subscription every summer until I got a 1 year subscription and got Grade 5. After that, I haven’t stopped playing

My first flight IRL was when I came to Singapore (from the Philippines) with family.
After we went back to the Philippines, I became very interested in flying. I downloaded Flight Pilot. LOL. This was probably back in 2018 or so.
Just 2 months ago, I remembered that nostalgia. I downloaded and subscribed to RFS
 Then downloaded and subscribed to IF
 Then stuck with IF.

Starting from age 5 I had this love for planes and when I got my first phone last year, I decided that I must have a flightsim so I can chase my dreams. I went to the app store to search for flightsims and here I am. It’s real unfortunate that I can’t get pro as my parents won’t allow it.

My first encounter with IF was way way back.
Possibly 2015 or 2016, when each aircraft at that time had to be paid individually and 3D airports didn’t exist back then. I lost interest in the app eventually and a few years later, I found Electric Galaxy’s YouTube channel.
His Timelapse videos made me interested in the app again but unfortunately, I wasn’t allowed to buy pro at that time 😅

It wasn’t until this year when I finally bought the monthly pro. I had no regrets and it was totally worth it! Speaking of which, a pack of blueberries at my local supermarket costs 11 dollars


Just wanted to satisfy my childhood curiosity and wonders of airplanes and aviation. Loved flying as a kid and would always look outside the window. I still love flying and sitting in the window seat whenever I can. I started flying in IF in 2013 when I was looking for fun airplane games to fly and came across the app. I loved flying passenger jets since commercial aviation is my favorite. Stuck with it ever since and today, I like to re-enact my most recent flights in the sim.

Hmm
 I would say as back as an aviation loving kid in 2013 I always searched for a good flight sim like every couple of weeks in the android play store, because Xplane 9 was the only “Good sim” at the time and I didn’t really like it.
And one day I stumbled upon IF so I checked it out and it seemed a better sim and indeed it was
and it only got better over the years 😁.

Also old folks would remember that you had to buy planes and regions đŸ€«

i was always passionate about aviation. Loved flying since i remember myself actually. Always loved speedy takeoffs and hard landings with Ryanair and in 2022 i switched to landing being the better part of the flight.
i used to play some crappy sim for years but was searching on app store and found IF tried to escape the green box but crashed lol.
bought subscription on the 16th of march 2024

Mine is nice and simple, I love aviation and I loved flight sim games, I always watch Matt Davies aka Belynz (Rest in peace 😔). I bought myself an iPad for my 16th birthday in 2014 and I discovered infinite flight on the app store, I bought one or two regions and some aircraft, my favourite was the Qatar A340, I just use to muck about and fly from Birmingham to Heathrow I did this until 2016 and re discovered IF in 2018 and global, since January 2018 I have always been a pro subscriber and I’m not going anywhere đŸ€Ł, I’m always wanting to help fellow community members and report the odd bug or 3D model discrepancy with a aircraft I urge everyone else to do the same 😎

I agree. I liked it better when it was just the text on the screen. I prefer Ice711 more now, especially his drawing videos.
