I found out about IF through a friend back in high school… I want to say back in 2013/14, not sure on the exact year but it was around that time. I’ve always been obsessed with aviation since childhood, so I remember one day after school seeing him on it. I remember he was flying a Southwest 737 to be exact and I remember saying to myself, “oh wow… I’ve played many flight games but this is the first I’m seeing one that offers real airlines and aircraft designed to the T.” I asked him about it, watched as he flew and landed. then the rest became history.
My friend told me to install it
It wasn’t free then
Mostly of the videos on YT, it saw pretty cool and i tested it out.
I like Microsoft Flight Simulator but my PC isn’t capable, decided to search for a mobile alternative, IF came up top.
And I never tried getting a better PC again. Lol
Welcome to the community!
ehem
It all started when I was a young child on a Southwest Airlines plane. I would stare out the windows of KMDW and say “Airmane” (I was like 2) and eventually I decided I really liked airplanes. Found IF on App Store and got it. Now here we are :)
Same here!
So I was into aviation since my childhood and back in 2014 when I was 13 y/o kid I found this ultra real plane simulator on black market on android. It was infinite flight when it used to be paid app on playstore. So I downloaded it and started playing…
Down the line in 2016 I got Infinite Flight from my pocket money on my iPad. Then I got to know it had in-app purchases and that not all planes and airports were unlocked but I was still very very happy and excited to fly and I loved engine sounds and unicom.
Purchased my IF sub in 2020 when they started releasing B777 Family models and also when I decided that I’ll become a real pilot one day (although it was childhood dream when I first went on Jet Airways Boeing 737-200 when I was 5 y/o) and rest is history.
Here I am an FAA Commercial Pilot with Instrument rating, and I’ll never forget my sidekick that Infinite Flight has been…still loving it as I plan of going back to states to become a CFI / CFII after I do my license conversion in India. So IF has always helped with VORs, ILS, RNAV, traffic patterns, cross countries, and thanks to satellite imagery I could also do lost procedures, eights on pylons, engine failures etc…can’t thank IF enough.
Back in 2013/14 I was discussing mobile racing games with a senior at school and complained to him that unfortunately there’s no high quality plane game. He mentioned IF, and here I am…
I want to have an realistic flight sim for my mobile divice back in 2014. Flew very many times from WSSS to WMKK on the Singapore Map! ✈️
