Xtreme Soaring 3D app for iPhone and iPad
(FREE version available)
Have you ever dreamed of soaring the sky like a bird, circling on an invisible thermal and staying aloft just by your skills and the forces of natures?
Or are you already a glider pilot who looking for more funs while youre not flying?
Welcome to XtremeSoaring3D, one of the best soaring/flight simulation available for mobile devices. It captures the beauty, the excitement and the technology of the soaring sport.
Beside flying, the beauty of soaring sport is also the landscapes, the countrysides that we glide over. Therefore, we manage to integrate terrain data in this sim using high resolution satellite images and elevation. This resulted in a look real, beautiful landscapes with highly detail airport hangars and runways.

Pros and cons of Xtreme Soaring 3D app for iPhone and iPad
Xtreme Soaring 3D app good for
Not bad considering what is already available for pc. Handling in turns can be improved though. Brake not functional and imperial units only are a minus. But it has whats needed to become a great sim! Deserves a try in online races.
Its a nice game, but theres a bug on moviment of elevator..sometimes happen this bug and u dont pull up the elevator.
a flight map would be nice to find the next airfield. Changing weather conditions could complete it.
This is an awesome App. It Works well and is very absorbing. Nice going Dude . Would like to see a chat option.
The first glider sim that I have enjoyed flying on my ipad.
The sim requires both flaps and ballast to give a better simulation. I have soared in the real world and in a great sim online with my PC.
This can be a great App with the addition of the already mentioned fixes,and additional aircraft to use them.
This app is awesome! It would be even better if additional gliders are included. :)
Some bad moments
3 Updates in a very short timeframe - but all of them adressing problems that arent problems at all.
-still no yawstring!!!
-redicously underpowered winch
-imperial instruments only
-bad flight dynamics (ASK has a roll rate like an F 16)
Before you invest your development time in multiplayer modes, THIS is what need to be worked on.
Very realistic. I have 400 hrs. In real sailplanes and find this a very accurate sim. I do love being able to see thermals but I wish it was a bit more subtle, perhaps by being marked by cumulus clouds instead of red cylinders
While it is a flight sim for iOS it needs much to be desired. Flight characteristics are pretty spot on but with todays other flight sim options that doesnt cut it. Major complaint is poor graphics and poor rendering. Theres nothing like being about a mile from the airport and it is completely gone from view due to limited draw distance. If you want the best flight sim/ glider sim according to me and only me I would go purchase AeroFly FS.
Try the free first, when you get better at the simulator, then buy the full app. It has new gliders and areas to fly. This is a very well done app. Nice job. Thank you.
Wasted money, if you ask me. I donor Knowles how many times I have to try to press the buttons before the simulator responds. Ridiculous.
This is a fantastic little gem of a flight sim. The feeling of flight is spot on, and Im logging more hours into this than I have X-Plane and Infinite Flight combined. There is nothing better than circling in thermals, staying aloft for hours and then slide-slipping it in for a landing.
My only gripe would be the lack of a "Settings" menu -- Id like to be able to reverse the controls for panning (I hats dragging to the right to look left, and vice versa).
If you love soaring or are a real glider pilot, get this. You wont be disappointed. Buy this!
