Description

Carrier Landing HD is a high-end flight sim optimized for iOS devices, offering the following advantages:

Multiplayer Game: 
The multiplayer mode supports authentic Air Combat and Deathmatch modes. You can team up with friends for realistic dogfights or join Deathmatch rooms to engage in intense battles with players from around the world.

Aerodynamics:
The aerodynamic model of each aircraft includes multiple components, with careful calculations of their inflow. As a result, the simulator realistically simulates the unique aerodynamic characteristics of many aircraft. This includes the high angle of attack maneuverability of F18 and F22, the ability of F14 to perform a full turn roll using only rudder, the pedal turn maneuver of F35 and F22, and the cobra maneuver of the Su series aerodynamic layout aircraft. The development process involved real pilots for testing and feedback.

Dynamics:
When a 40,000-pound carrier-based aircraft lands on the deck at a descent rate of 5 meters per second, the compression rebound of the landing gear and the damping of the suspension are finely adjusted to create the most realistic visual effects. The recoil force from each bullet is accurately calculated and applied to the aircraft. The simulator also implements rope dynamics simulations for arresting cables and aerial tanker refueling tubes, details that are often not found in many PC flight sims.

Flight Control System (FCS):
Modern fighters often utilize static instability layouts, making it challenging for pilots to fly without the intervention of FCS. The simulator implements an FCS component with the same algorithm as the real flight controller. Your control commands first enter the FCS, which calculates the result using angular velocity feedback or G-load feedback. The result is then passed to the servo to control the control surface.

Avionics:
The simulator implements a HUD based on the real HUD principle. The size and view angle of the HUD characters and symbols have been strictly verified against the HUD of corresponding real aircraft. This offers the most realistic HUD implementation available in the mobile market. The F18 currently features a fully-featured fire control radar, and fire control radars for other aircraft are also under development.

Arms:
Each missile in the simulator utilizes a real dynamic model, treating them as tiny aircraft. The guidance algorithm employs the same APN algorithm used in real missiles. The guidance results are transmitted to the missile's FCS, which then controls the control surface deflection for maneuvering. The initial speed of the gun bullet in the simulator strictly adheres to real data, accurately calculating the bullet's movement in each frame considering the effects of gravity and air resistance.

Earth Environment Rendering:
The simulator employs multiple scattering algorithms to calculate the color of the sky, ground, and objects, thanks to innovative optimization algorithms. It provides realistic sky colors at dusk and dynamic projections of the earth in the atmosphere. Whether flying at foggy sea levels or 50,000 feet high, you can genuinely feel the presence of the air.Additionally, the game utilizes real astronomical data to determine the positions of stars, the moon, and the sun.

What’s New

Version 2020.5.05

- Fixed the issue where aircraft livery cannot be selected in multiplayer.
- More random spawn points in death match mode for multiplayer. (Note: This modification requires upgrading the multiplayer version, as the old and new versions will be mutually invisible on the server side. We recommend you upgrade to the new version for multiplayer gaming.)
- Fixed the issue of J15 tanker aircraft crashing.
- Aircraft that have been unlocked without an internet connection will not be locked again.

Has the potential for best sim on mobile/tablet devices

The game overall has great features. The physics are incredibly realistic in all aspects and the graphics amazing too, rivalling that of DCS. I personally don’t mind paying for new aircraft and game time but the fact that multiplayer isn’t free and you need to buy the f18 to play multiplayer really limits this game and surely negatively effects the creator too. I actually first downloaded the game and stopped playing it very soon after for this reason and seeing there was not really any interest in flying the f35 with minimal features. I only then started playing again when by chance I came across videos of the multiplayer and dogfights between players and saw how good it is, that brought me back to the game and to try it out properly. It’s incredibly fun when you actually manage to get a game (if it’s not private sever or minimal allowed players and after A LOT of waiting), also the game not being on non-IOS obviously limits the amount of players accessing it. But surely the creator would be loosing masses of players and potential income by the pure fact multiplayer and multiplayable aircraft isn’t available for free at the start? When people see how good the potential of the game is and they start playing regularly, they’d in turn purchase more aircraft and other features anyway, thus supporting the creator in the long run.

Devs please read

Hi, I’m here to comment an honest review after playing the game for a few months now, the game is amazing, the physics are great and the models are insane, the huds are great however on the hud or tail view the opacity doesn’t match and you can see the outline being green and this issue is fixable, the vapours could be better on the f14 and the afterburners on each aircraft should be slightly different, the biggest issue for me is the fact that there is no sound barrier breaking vapours and there is no sonic boom, I know you can implement this as the game already is just amazing, also the interiors are another thing, the f18, j15 and f35 are all a bit bland and nothing moves, the f22 has only the throttle moving and the other aircraft have a bit of animation, I would love to see these issues to be fixed and wishes implemented, may you also add more aircraft such as, f16, f15, f18 super hornet, mig 29, su27, su57 and su37, some aircraft may be easier to make than others but I believe these should be added, thank you.

Awesome.

Leaving another review. Awesome game. I find my self lost in the immersion. However a working radar system would be nice. I find my self never being able to locate the (drones) unless i have their name tags on. Which then takes all immersion out of it. I’d also love to see the cockpit at night time with maybe some green lighting on the buttons. For some reason the whole cockpit and ground go pitch black when it’s 5 am? Lol. Also some ground attack missions would be nice. I know a lot of these flight models are capable of carrying atg loads and it would be nice to have with the radar the use of a cam pod, or if In a capable enough aircraft have it already installed. It would also be nice to have a few more missions to play. Maybe a dogfight mode where you’re up against 1 of the random aircraft that’s available. With that a usable tanker could be nice too. Especially if you guys add in ground missions. I’ve invested heavily in the aircraft bundles on this game. With the hopes that in the future you guys add more.
