FAQ

Infinite Flight is a mobile flight simulator for iOS and Android that simulates real-world aircraft, navigation systems, airports, and global flight operations. Pilots can fly anywhere in the world using realistic aircraft performance models, real-world navigation data, and live multiplayer environments with other pilots and air traffic controllers.

Infinite Flight includes a global database of airports and navigation procedures, allowing pilots to plan and fly complete gate-to-gate flights. The simulator is designed specifically for mobile devices and supports both touchscreen controls and external controllers.

Infinite Flight is designed to simulate real-world aviation procedures, aircraft performance, and navigation systems within the limits of mobile devices. Aircraft performance is modeled using real-world data where available, including climb rates, cruise speeds, and fuel consumption, and environmental factors such as wind and air density affect aircraft behavior.

Pilots can fly real-world procedures including instrument departures, arrivals, and approaches using real-world navigation data. Infinite Flight is not an FAA-approved training device and cannot replace certified flight training equipment. Some aircraft systems are simplified compared to high-end desktop simulators, but the simulator supports realistic flight planning and gate-to-gate operations.

Infinite Flight multiplayer allows pilots and air traffic controllers to operate together in a shared global airspace in real time. Pilots can see other aircraft flying around them with accurate positions, altitudes, and callsigns, creating a shared online environment where flights operate simultaneously across the world.

Infinite Flight includes multiple multiplayer servers designed for different experience levels. The Casual Server allows unrestricted flying, while the Training Server introduces basic air traffic control procedures. The Expert Server features stricter realism rules and human air traffic controllers, and access requires meeting minimum flight and safety requirements. Learn more on the community forum.

You can find the Infinite Flight ATC schedule on the ATC Schedule page. It lists the featured airports and routes staffed by IFATC on the Expert Server and is designed for quick daily planning.

The schedule updates daily at 0600 UTC. For announcements and schedule discussions, visit the ATC category on the Infinite Flight Community Forum.

Infinite Flight requires a stable internet connection and cannot be used offline. All flights require connectivity in order to load the global environment, aircraft systems, and online services.

Multiplayer flying, account features, and live services depend on a continuous internet connection. A stable connection is recommended to ensure consistent aircraft control and synchronization with the global flight environment. For support and questions, visit our community forum.

Infinite Flight includes a fleet of detailed aircraft ranging from single-engine propeller aircraft to military fighters and commercial airliners. Aircraft are modeled with realistic performance characteristics and cockpit instruments based on real-world references.

The full aircraft fleet is available with an Infinite Flight Pro subscription, while a smaller selection of aircraft is available without a subscription. Aircraft vary in level of detail, with newer aircraft typically featuring fully interactive cockpits, improved flight models, and higher-resolution textures.

Infinite Flight runs on modern iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. Performance depends on the age and capability of the device, with newer devices supporting higher graphics settings and smoother frame rates.

The simulator requires a 64-bit device with sufficient memory and storage. Additional storage space may be required for aircraft and scenery data, and performance improves on newer devices with faster processors and more memory.

Infinite Flight includes an autopilot system that allows pilots to control aircraft automatically using common real-world autopilot modes. Pilots can control heading, altitude, vertical speed, and airspeed, and these modes can be combined to maintain stable flight.

The autopilot can follow programmed routes including waypoints and instrument procedures, allowing aircraft to fly complete IFR routes automatically. Infinite Flight also includes AutoPilot+, which allows flights to continue in the background when the app is not open, making long flights possible without keeping the simulator active on screen.
