Flight Control HD on the iPad

Posted by

The flight-simulation game you already love to play on your iPhone is now coming to your iPad. With the large iPad screen, the game is now bigger, clearer and has more room to perform chaotic landing sequences.

Flight Control HD has stayed in the top ten since the iPad’s App Store went live yesterday. The viewing real estate on the iPad allows for some new gameplay variations over the iPhone version. There is a new co-op multiplayer function by sharing the same device. There’s a split-screen mode, and new airfields – including a Snow airfield with variable wind direction.

One of the best new features of this game, though, has to be the fact that you can play it in 3D. You’ll need to grab your own glasses, since you can’t exactly download them with the app. When you choose the new airfield map with the 3D glasses on your face, you’ll be able to see planes flying around in full depth illusion! How cool is that?

I have a feeling that this may be one of the most downloaded apps over the weekend. Anyone have a spare set of 3D goggles I can borrow?
