Have you ever dreamed of soaring the sky like a bird, circling on an invisible thermal and staying aloft just by your skills and the forces of natures?
Or are you already a glider pilot who looking for more funs while you're not flying?
Welcome to XtremeSoaring3D, one of the best soaring/flight simulation available for mobile devices. It captures the beauty, the excitement and the technology of the soaring sport.
Beside flying, the beauty of soaring sport is also the landscapes, the countrysides that we glide over. Therefore, we manage to integrate terrain data in this sim using high resolution satellite images and elevation. This resulted in a look real, beautiful landscapes with highly detail airport hangars and runways.

Realistic

Very realistic. I have 400 hrs. In real sailplanes and find this a very accurate sim. I do love being able to see thermals but I wish it was a bit more subtle, perhaps by being marked by cumulus clouds instead of red cylinders
Poor!

While it is a flight sim for iOS it needs much to be desired. Flight characteristics are pretty spot on but with today's other flight sim options that doesn't cut it. Major complaint is poor graphics and poor rendering. There's nothing like being about a mile from the airport and it is completely gone from view due to limited draw distance. If you want the best flight sim/ glider sim according to me and only me I would go purchase AeroFly FS.
J shocker

Try the free first, when you get better at the simulator, then buy the full app. It has new gliders and areas to fly. This is a very well done app. Nice job. Thank you.?

Wasted money, if you ask me. I donor Knowles how many times I have to try to press the buttons before the simulator responds. Ridiculous.
Fantastic

This is a fantastic little gem of a flight sim. The feeling of flight is spot on, and I'm logging more hours into this than I have X-Plane and Infinite Flight combined. There is nothing better than circling in thermals, staying aloft for hours and then slide-slipping it in for a landing. My only gripe would be the lack of a "Settings" menu -- I'd like to be able to reverse the controls for panning (I hats dragging to the right to look left, and vice versa). If you love soaring or are a real glider pilot, get this. You won't be disappointed. Buy this!
Exactly what I was looking for

If you dream of soaring, this is for you. The controls are just fine and responsive.(I'm on iPhone 5) So satisfying to catch a thermal and climb. Enough freedom that even experienced gliders will enjoy, yet simple enough that people with no gliding experience could pick it up.
Awesome

It would be awesome if there was a tow plane option that takes you as high as you want, still keep the launcher just make it an option. As a proud member of cap. A civil air patrol glider would make it better. The sim is amazing already though. Keep up the great work.
Great and wonderful app

This apps one of the best flight sim apps around and I play it a lot more than x-plane. It would be great to have a tow plane and some RAF gliders, Maybe even some old ones like the General aircraft GAL.49 Hamilcar, Airspeed Horsa or even the Waco CG-4. But over all a great app!!!
Wow!

Pretty outstanding. I havent flown gliders in a few years. This game/simulator takes me right back. One of the most realistic flight simulators i have ever flown.
One of the best soaring sims you can find!

I cannot say enough good things about this app. This is about pure flight, not dogfighting or speed. This sim rewards skill and patience, and some knowledge of real glider mechanics is helpful. This said, I still think a novice could pick it up and learn it easily. Highly, highly recommended.
