I just want to fly!

[McAndy]

Hello. Is there an iPad game/app that allows you to fly through the world? I thought Flight Simulator might give me that, but it's waaaaay too intensive for my needs. I'd just like to swerve through the Highlands for 10 minutes to relax in the rare 10 minutes I get to myself, for example. I figure that all of the necessary topographical data must be available (Google Earth et al.), but cannot find a fly-through model in which you can tilt a device to steer as you cruise at a set speed.

Thanks in advance!

Well there you go; I didn’t know they’d brought that feature out! Hopefully it’ll come to the mobile device apps soon.

An old colleague of mine used to play X-Plane on his iPhone of a lunch break, presumably that'll run on an iPad as well and tick your boxes too?

Thanks. Looks interesting, although a lot of users cmpliaining about pay-walls to all bar the most basic of things. I'll try the trial though, as it's one of the few simulator apps where the developer isn't tracking everything else that you do on your device!

Google and Facebook already do that in great detail. A flight sim shouldnt be your main concern.

Google Earth on a VR headset is fantastic.
