Pilot the awesome F/A-18 Hornet in this highly realistic fighter jet simulation. Using physical properties of the actual aircraft, the simulation flies just like the real thing.

Interactive control overlays make it easy to use the extensive cockpit systems. It not only allows for input, but also provides feedback for aircraft systems such as radar mode or landing gear status. You control the aircraft's flight stick by rotating and tilting your device, or optionally using a compatible game controller.

Acquire a target on the realistically simulated AN/APG-65 radar. Then launch an AIM-9 Sidewinder missile and watch it track its target with its realistically simulated guidance system.

Because the game captures performance differences between aircraft, aerial combat is highly realistic. So when you tangle with an enemy MiG-27, real-world tactics can save your day.

Enemy pilots are skilled adversaries, proficient in dogfighting as well as ground attack. You may find yourself in a turning battle with a MiG-21 while simultaneously evading a SAM missile. If you can survive, you've earned bragging rights.

Connect up to four nearby players (within Bluetooth range or connected to the same Wi-Fi access point) for exciting real-time air-to-air combat.

Direct your wingman to fly in formation or to come to your aid. Request landing clearance from the control tower or get guidance from the Landing Signal Officer on final approach to a carrier landing.

The game includes 16 practice missions and 50 campaign missions. Increase your score with each mission and with every downed enemy aircraft. Earn awards and promotions as your career advances. Hours of gameplay wait.

You'll get a taste of what it's like to be fighter pilot. If you're interested in aviation, or military history, then FA-18 Hornet is for you.

*iOS 13 now allows you to connect your Bluetooth PS-4 or XBOX ONE game controller.

Reminds me of Fleet Defender in a good way!

Those of us of a certain age who played and loved Fleet Defender and F15 Eagle back in the 90s will love this game. I’ve played loads of flight sims on iOS including Gunship, Infinite Flight and Aerofly, and this is definitely up there with the best of them. I think this game is an iOS port of a historic PC game from the mid to late 90s, in the same way Gunship is, and some people have commented about the graphics looking dated in their reviews. Sure, compared to a modern game like Aerofly the graphics are showing their age, but they are still excellent and don’t detract one bit from the gameplay or the overall immersion. For a vintage game the graphics are actually superb, but where this game really wins over the others is in its level of depth, immersion and realism. This game is deep, definitely more of a classic combat flight simulator than an arcade game, which is just how I like my flight sims. You need to put some time into this game and go through the tutorials, which are all excellent by the way. After a short while you’ll be dogfighting and landing on your aircraft carrier, just like Maverick! So yeah, probably the best combat flight simulator currently available in the App Store.

Good game

I remember this game when It was out on the pc in the late 90's was a great game then and it amazes me that the game can be played on a iPhone! The game is very realistic compared to competitors but as a keen aviation enthusiast I need to say that the flight model needs to be improved and so do the graphics. It's just very 90's compared to say the game carrier landings or air cavalry and considering its double the price I kind of expected a bit more. I am however not a computer person so do t know how much processing power your phone would need to be able to keep up with all the graphics and the detail of the mission. A free flight mode would be great to practice carrier landings and to fly around a map just like the PC variant? Overall great job just look forward to more missions in the near future!

Dossier doesn't update after you have completed the campaign?

When are we going to get new missions????

Such a nice game

Definitely the best simulator I’ve played on mobile! I just wish there was a proper multiplayer feature to make it even better! Maybe even some more planes to fly perhaps in different games that are still connected to the storyline and multiplayer of F/A-18. This game definitely has loads of potential and I hope it goes further in the future!
