If you haven't already downloaded it from the app store, I thoroughly recommend FlightControl. Be prepared to waste lots of time, it's very addictive... highest score 86 so far - anyone improve on that ? how about a pprune scoreboard

Thanks squawk for that. Having reached 102 I thought I could leave this game behind. How wrong could I be!

This game is so addictive. Worth every penny, although it did make me quite anti-social at the hotel last weekend!
Top score, after a weekend of play... 157. More luck than judgment as I usually struggle to get over 70.

I've only played it a couple of times and was rather proud of my pathetic 40 aircraft score... Looks like I've got a bit of work to do over the week.

Gaaaahhh! 34 so far after 36 hours. Best 79€cents I've spent in a long time :ok:

Edit: The GA stuff I can cope with, the heavies hassle me, and I'm learning to hate helicopters with a passion:\

I got it up to 58, the heavies are the one causing the problems for me. I'll just need to work away at it tomorrow in work :rolleyes:

I obviously haven't got enough time on my hands... :(

Still only 49, heavies crashing into choppers, GA stuff trying to land on the wrong runway :{

For those of you out there with an iPhone.

Try downloading the 'FlightControl' app, its a very simple air traffic control game but quite fun !

My top score at the moment is 150, its gets pretty hectic pretty quickly !

Have fun ...

Check out AeroWeather - the best app on my iPhone. Latest METARS and TAFS for any airport in the world (and it's free) :D

There are forums out there with users quoting in excess of 800 landings! along with an unconfimed 1000+

The new version will have global scoring and auto-save for games.

Version 1.1 is now on the app store if you want to download it and is free as an upgrade to 1.0.

It's quite funky the way it does the high score table as if you let it use your location it will give you your place within your location.

Unfortunately it does not seem you can upload your existing highscore only any new one you may get.

Just got my best score of 77 and uploaded it - am a "co-pilot", need 87 to get pilot (not sure whats above that)

Anyone know if Air Traffic Control for the Blackberry Storm is any good? SWiMBO has just reverted to her Pearl and we have a surplus Storm in the house. Am tempted...

FlightControl (http://www.firemint.com/flightcontrol/index.html) looks such fun that I'm tempted to buy an iPhone specially.

24 hours into the game - I'm only managing late teens to mid twenties and peaked at 32.

Don't suppose they make a 21" monitor for it, do they? I'm getting old. Shame you can't run the iBeast through your desktop machine using the data cable.

Guess I need either more beer or .....stop trying to improve (it's only a game and I get 3,000 landings on Second Life).

Any other super fly apps for the iBeast?

For Keygrip:

AIRPORT MADNESS | SmashinGames.com (http://www.smashingames.com/games/airportmadness.html)

Slightly different, but if you've a 21'' monitor . . . :ok:

Hmmm, slightly simplistic, Akra - but thanks for that.

Made it to 50 exactly on the iBeast.
