Passenger Airplane: Flight 3D

Passenger Airplane: Flight 3D hands you a full-size airliner and two ways to fly it: a world map mode that strings together real long-haul routes, and a training mode that drills takeoff, cruise and landing. The joystick reads pitch and roll, a speed selector jumps between 1x, 2x and 3x so long legs do not drag, and six camera angles let you fly from the cockpit, the wing or a wide chase view. Sunny, rainy and stormy weather change how much the airframe fights you, and no fuel gauge cuts a flight short.

This title is best suited to players who want a relaxed airliner flight without a fuel timer.

1. Pick training mode to learn the handling, or world map mode to fly a full route
2. Ease the joystick back to lift off once your speed builds on the runway
3. Switch cameras and set 2x or 3x speed for the cruise portion of the leg
4. Bleed off speed and level the nose for a soft touchdown at the destination

• Joystick / drag: Pitch and roll the aircraft
• Speed selector: Switch between 1x, 2x and 3x time
• Camera button: Cycle cockpit, wing and external views

Objectives

• Complete a scheduled route from takeoff to landing
• Finish the training exercises to sharpen your handling
• Land smoothly without stalling or over-banking

The run ends or fails when

• The aircraft stalls or meets terrain during takeoff or landing

• Joystick-driven pitch and roll flight model
• Time compression for long legs
• Weather states that change visibility and handling

• Hold a gentle climb angle after takeoff instead of yanking the nose up
• Use 3x speed for cruising, then drop back to 1x before the approach
• Switch to the external camera on final to judge your height above the runway
