Flight Control

what's your top score?

i have got 159 and CANNOT beat it no matter how hard i try, any tips/advice?

the leaderboard shows someone landing 6000!!

no, not 600, i said 6000....(surely they must be cheating?)

Re: Flight Control

I managed 63 once but I am averaging about 40.

No idea how anyone manages to get up over 100.

Re: Flight Control

Best i've got is 89, a mate at work got over 150 but I can't remember the exact score.

6000 must be impossible, does the leaderboard say exactly 6000? Sounds fishy to me!!

Re: Flight Control

An update has now gone live on the App store & added 2 new maps and 5 new types of aircraft.

http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhon...ws.asp?c=13631

I haven't played this for a while so the update should breath a bit more life back into it

Rich.

Re: Flight Control

I was playing it last night.

The third map, the aircraft carrier is quite hard, I only got 20 before a collision occurred. The jets are fast

Good update.

(ps. you stated explicitly that the update was free, aren't updates always free?)

Re: Flight Control

Funnily enough, just fired this up again after not playing it since I first got it 10 days or so ago.

Really fun game! 34 is my best on the Hawaii map

Do the online leaderboards work as it get saying "Failed" for me, but perhaps I'd lost connection.

Re: Flight Control

Hi all,

I just discovered that Flight Control is now multiplayer enabled! Works over bluetooth only, and in co-op mode. My wife and I have just been playing it - p.s, her score is 124 of the hawaii map! I can manage about 50 or so.

Has anyone discovered any other games updated for multiplayer? Perhaps some racing games?

Cheers

I can honestly say I have no idea. The planes don't really come more frequently after the 50 planes landed mark, it's just dealing with the odd rush of planes. I got into a decent rhythm and I can't honestly say how long I was there for. Perhaps if you timed how long it takes to get 100 planes landed, it may be simply 10 times as tong as that to 1,000. Probably a little less because the first 15 planes come so slowly!

I am such a geek

Re: Flight Control

New update released with a new map!

You cannot change the flight path for one of the new planes (RFDS) which makes it a little more interesting.
