Flight Controler for iPhone / iPod

Hey guys,


Very cool game for iPhone and iPod Touch. Extremely addictive though.

Based on directing air traffic, (air traffic control or ATC). Goes smoothly until the four engine airliners come into pattern.. Then you have choppers, 172 Cissna's, 737's and Jumbo's everywhere clipping wingtips, lol...

Looks childish, till you start playing.. Then its too late......

way tooo late..






:faint:
 
I got tired of it quickly. It's too simple. I actually bought it for my iphone; i don't regret it, but I only play it eveyr once in a while. I got my high score the fifth time I tried, now I can't get above 30 half the time.

What's your high score? I got to 69.
 
69!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dang...

I am lucky to get to 35, (highest score)..

The choppers come in without the signal and the 4 engine liners usually ram them.

Ive tried wider patterns, but that didnt work. I keep the airliners in tight pattern now and the slow birds and helos stay on the outer perimeter.



dang... show off... lol
 
Now I know why you and Ed can't get your job done. Do ya play it while ya driving too:costumes:
 
I've tried that strategy, and no strategy seems to be better than the others, unfortunately. Mind you, I only did that once. I usually only get to about 30. Soemtimes that game seems easy, and sometimes it seems hard. I don't get it.
 
One thing I noticed is that usually the aircraft come from one direction, or rather 'appear' from certain points. For instance, one spot the 737's approach from (appear from) is at 11:00 o:clock high, left of the top. The Helo's have their own locations, and the Cissna's do as well. If I can just figure out when the Jumbo's hit, I would have a better way of getting ready for the assault.

Last night, I had like 10 planes in traffic. I felt like I was in a jumbling act. I must have had 4 Jumbos, 4 737's, 3 planes, and 4 helos' all in traffic. Instead of putting them in loops for landings, I got desperate and was just trying to steer them around each other, and more were appearing, none were landing, lolol...

I do 'not' need a game to give me gray eyebrows... I get that as it is already, lololol.. The game does crack me up though for something so simple and basic..
