Quick question,
Does anyone know of any good Flight Simulation apps for the Android?
Thanks!
X-Plane is the one I know of, it's also available on iPhone.

How is it?
I'm not normally one to play/use flight sims, but it's a high quality one in my opinion, good graphics, smooth control on my desire, and fairly easy to use, but with a lot of options. check out the site if you wanted to know more about it, just google "xplane". That's the only one I know of on android too
X-Plane is the best one. You can choose your plane, your map your Weather... you control everythings in the plane... but it cost 10$...

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X is a nice arcade flight shooter, if it's of any interest to you.
X plane is good on graphics. But doesn't have many locales. Also, you can't practice instrument approaches. Only buy it if you want to play for fun.
There are some really good iPad apps for flight simulation. Android is still far behind in this realm. Hopefully there are more apps developing.
+1 With X-Plane, a great achievement on the Platform. Am still hoping for some Retro conversions, Birds of prey for example.

X-Plane is quite a good simulator here too, I mainly play it on my Nook Color tablet though.
Curious why you say you can't do instrument only approaches? there is an instrument view where you can set the different beacon settings and you can see your glide scope etc... At least I think so. I am not a pilot, and I pretty much suck at landings so I haven't tried it. I believe I saw it in their online usage guide too.
It'd be cool if it could cache Google Maps or something and fly over.. I know the desktop version has much more detailed data in this regard and a mobile app just won't be able to, but it'd fun flying over your own house.
Great information. I plan on trying out the different sims next week, Ill let you know what I think of them.
Cheers!
@khaytsus
I am a pilot, so for me just the 6 locales are not enough. But its a great start in developing such an app which makes use of the device's gyro. Worth the buy if you want the cockpit experience.
No way! Im a flight instructor at Embry Riddle had to get the CFI, couldn't stand ifr multi or commercial. Lol.

Hey guys! Just want to say that Dungeon Defenders is now free on the market! No idea if this is permanent or just today, so grap your copy now!

I believe it is free now because Google launched their in-app payment model, and they developer will be charging real world cash to acquire in-game items.

Oh i see! LIKE!
What does this mean for the persons that paid for this app? Are we subject to having to pay for everything now to?
The only difference is that you paid for it and we don't. Everyone can use the in-app purchase.
They made it free so that more people will play it. It's a strategy for the console/pc version which is soon to be released.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Damn I paid for it. Hopefully we get more players now.
Any dates for console version?
"Dungeon Defenders” has never had an official release date for its PC, XBLA and PSN versions, though a Q1 release was Trendy’s initial goal. The game is now looking at a March or April release date for the XBLA and PSN versions, with the PC version releasing sometime later."
Hopefully the people that paided for it get something nice in-game
ARE YOU KIDDING ME
i bought this and now its all free.
and the people who paid for it get nothing.
BULL****.
I hope their PC/Console games fail.
I bought it but hardly played it, it's just too damn complex for a portable game.
I'm not real impressed about being nickle & dimed for it after buying it at full price, I won't be purchasing anything further from this developer that's for sure. If they'd given paying users SOME sort of acknowledgement then it'd be different, but that's just insulting the people that've supported them.
I guess they figure the microtransaction model works for Zynga, so why not them as well.
Didn't you people get tons of free items every-so-often already, delivered to you?
Geez, it's not like the developer is asking you to pay a monthly fee; they only made the apk free of charge. The new players who now download the free apk will never be able to get the free items you all got. And if you don't feel like spending any more cash on the game, then don't buy anything using the in-app purchasing mechanism.
Sheesh...
maybe you guys don't know how to play the game so you all are complaining that it should have been free. it's pretty cheap for a game like this!

Nice! I played this on 360.
It was actually a refreshing "arcadey" change to a stale Tomb Raider formula... I always liked it, but felt like it would've been more appropriate to release on a handheld. Now that's coming true! BUYING!
and it's just the first from Square Enix.. more established titles are coming, yey!
Very awesome that there are so many Exclusives that are high end titles. That said they need to get the word out better and advertise these things some more or something. For example you wouldn't know Hot Pursuit was even available if you weren't looking for it.
I will definitely be picking this one up!
God of War or Prince of Persia could heat things up, really!
oh am i dreaming?
Yeah man.... Comin soon

I have the game for the 360 and it's really fun, though I probably won't get it for the Play.
Looks awesome, played alot of tomb raider back in the days. I think it's starting to spread like rings in the water that this device is fantalastic
Will defo be a tittle i wil buy.
Regards Dousan...
Hopefully it will be cross-platform compatible for multiplayer like Dungeon Defenders.
Yawn, another months old iPhone port made for a quick buck. Not too exciting if you ask me.
Lol how could you not be excited about a game that received almost universally positive feedback coming to a device that is perfectly tailored for it? Hello, touchpads!
Why did you even buy this phone if something like this doesn't seem remotely cool?

Really? I love getting iPhone ports.
iPhone has a lot of great games, but iOS in general is too limited for them to be fully recognized. Porting iPhone games to Android removes everything that makes them limited... especially considering the Xperia PLAY - which has single-handedly changed the tides of smartphone gaming being un-ideal without buttons.
Quick ports for quick buck tend to be subpar, no matter how good the source material is. That's why I'm wary.
This is definitely great news for players who haven't played the game, I highly recommend this title, it's a great platformer with nice puzzle solving.
Only gripe is.. I have already finished the game on my computer :/

Maybe Tomb Raider, Square Enix as a brand and mindless shoot'em up games stopped being cool in the neighborhood of 2000? I bought this phone because it allows me to emulate good older games, I don't give jack **** about 99% of the "new" games (mostly poor iPhone ports or glorified casual game divertimentos ). There are still no RPG worth their salt, no absorbing plots and no strategic games. Hell, I would fawn over a Final Fantasy Tactics port even, or Crystal Chronicles...
If you want to see me hyped, bring me weird or innovative games: Katherine, Hyperdymension Neptunia, Super Magnetic Neo... I've been holding console pads for almost 20 years, and I have witnessed how companies quit the innovation race long ago.

Tomb raider is far from a mindless shooter. Just like resident evil series, over the years the need to draw more "Casual gamers" into the series has forced the developers to tone down it's puzzle solving aspects. And as for Square not being cool anymore 2 words ..... Deus Ex
Deus Ex, Batman Arkum Asylum/City (Square Enix owns Eidos), Square Enix still makes great games.

I don't see how XBL would be related to a game getting Xperia Play controls.
Sounds like they already laid out the plan for this game and are done with it, much like that Captain America game I would not expect it to be XP optimized anytime soon.

I wouldn't except it either, they only have 2 games on the market. Unless enough people gave it a 1 star rating and complained enough about it.

Why has an xbox game, got anything to do with this half assed port, and their money making scheme..in app billing, for that..it should have been the full game, for a couple of quid, from the off.
in app billing + dodgy controls + ads in paid game + episodic = failure, In my book.

Buy the game, buy the episodes, click on the ads, support the developer.
Android game development is still kind of fragile at this point. Great games rarely get over 10k downloads, Amazing games rarely get over 100k downloads.
Just spend the dollar and consider it a donation to the developer to continue working on the game.

I'm all for supporting them, BUT there is NO controller support. I can deal with the ads but the NO controller support is a HUGE deal breaker. If they do update the app with support I well TOTALLY buy it again. I actually have emailed them about the issue.

With the way this game is looking I doubt they'll add support (hope I'm wrong). With ads in the paid app and a crappy port I'm betting they're just making as much money as they can till people figure out it's a waste of money.

Your comment was "they wont add xperia play controls because the game is episodic" like thats a bad thing or what **** devs do, my point was episodic games are everywhere even in main stream gamimg. I wouldnt know if the game has ads because like anyone else with a brain cell i'm using ad free to hide them. But FYI even some of the top paid apps on the market like 360 live pro have ads too. Does that make there dev dodgy too???
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
I wouldn't use 360 live pro, not after paying, and having ad filled stuff in my face..
I just don't agree with that.
Free users, yeah, slap an ad or two, but not for paid for software.
I tried this game it dont use the play buttons so unistalled it.

That's not how it works. This is not published as an alpha program which will be updated in the future and for which donations would be welcome. This is a full fledged program which is being sold with certain commercial practises. Sticking ads in a paid product, not adding Xperia Play controller support and in app Billing in such a short game are not good practises, and buying the game implies supporting them.
Voting with our wallet means not paying for crud. If we buy it, more crud will come because companies will understand that that's what we want. Consumer feedback is all good and nice, but the bottom line is what companies and developers are ultimately attentive to.
This is important because if that function, called price mechanism, doesn't coordinate companies and consumers properly, problems are bound to appear... As they actually are doing, and I don't mean the video game industry alone.
****ty controls, uninstalled.
The game doesn't even appear on my xperia play market, but it appears on the market on my g2 phone. also, is there an official version of duke nukem 3d coming out? cause this isn't made by the actual company.
Well in an update Xperia Play controls will come !

Your so naive, do you not think this happens in main stream gaming? When you play burnout and see lynx adverts on the roadside, do you not think lynx are paying to advertise there? Or when you play PES/Fifa and see adverts all around the pitch? Tiger woods 10 even had pop up ads

There is a bit of a difference to "Billboard" advertising in games that adds "Authenticity" to the surroundings i.e. Fifa and the sideline banners and the "distracting-take-up-10%-of-your-screen-real-estate-mobile-ads”.
The first example I except, the second only if I haven’t paid for the app.
On another note, I always preferred Quake to Duke Nukem, so my recent purchase of Zeus Arena will keep me content FPS wise until Modern Combat 3 comes to android.

Could use a bit more 'soul'. Feels very deserving of a name as generic as "Fight game"
Either way, I like Xperia PLAY exclusives. Does the full version have online versus? That's the one and only way I'm paying $5 for this.

This game is like Def Jam, instead with kickboxers. On a side-note, Alistair Overeem will beat Brock Lesnar come Dec 30th.

Seeing Xperia PLAY Exclusive, fighting game, none of those bull**** touch controls, and online play all in the same sentence is music to my ears.
I now have like 400% more faith in this product, and are highly likely to buy when this update drops.
I do hope their mention of "amongst other things" means the production quality will be bumped way up, and I'm also hoping online play packs some kind of lasting appeal aspect. Just being able to kick someone's ass online for experience points leading up to a "Level Up" would do wonders; even if it doesn't actually increase any kind of stats.

Battle of steroids.. Brock will own Alistair w/his GnP skill.. TKO (punches) round 1 or 2.. But I hate Lesnar since his WWF/E days.. In fact I love to watch the replay of his fight against Cain.. But whoever wins on their match they have no chance against JDS.. What I want to see is Anderson Silva move up again to LHW division to face bones..
BTT
I hate games w/ in-app purchase but I will definitely try this game..
Bones will remain unbeatable for a long time, silva is tiny compared to him
And ya, i wouldnt be in a big rush to face jds.

I loved Lesnar's match against Angle when he went for a top rope moonsault & landed on his ****ing head!
Lesnar was FTW for the title & Angle had to carry his almost unconscious ass to the end.
Same as others.. I can only play 1 fight..
There's a 1.01 update for the game, it doesn't freeze anymore
Decided to go ahead and buy it in anticipation of the update that allows online play.
The only thing I'm disliking about it so far is that unlocking characters happens WAY too damn fast. All you do is play one career match, they set you up against someone you haven't unlocked... if you beat them, you unlock them.
I guess that is more time effective, but I'm used to having that whole sequence of playing through a whole arcade mode, unlocking one person, then you get the whole next playthrough to get accustomed to your new unlock. This way just sorta... feels like it devalues the experience of unlocking someone new. I blame Tekken for making me nitpicky about such a small thing
How i wish we can have Fight Night series like in IOS..
