Planet Pilot

The whole world, pocket-sized

Planet Pilot shrinks Earth to one fifth of its size, so you can really fly around it, while every plane, runway and building stays full size. Real coastlines, mountains, rivers and roads, nearly 2,900 real airports with their real runway layouts, and 71 cities rebuilt from real map data: more than 1.7 million buildings, with parks and trees. Fly past famous skylines and about 160 landmarks and mountains, many of them hand-built in high detail. A real sun, stars and city lights, plus wind and weather that change every landing. Around 2,500 airliners fly a real daily schedule in the skies around you.

A flying career

Start with a little ultralight and a few coins. Fly passengers, cargo, VIP charters, medical flights, photo flights and skydivers, or take the aerobatic plane to airshows and air races. Work your way up through 17 civil aircraft, from bush planes and business jets to a double-deck superjumbo and a supersonic jet, and upgrade engines, fuel, cabin and short-field kits in your workshop. Create your own pilot, who rides in the cockpit of every plane you fly.

Real flying, friendly controls

Flaps, landing gear, speed brakes, crosswinds and a proper stall, all tuned to feel right on a keyboard or a gamepad. Interactive lessons teach you step by step. Every plane has its own autoland: set a destination and the autopilot flies the approach and lands at the right speeds for that plane. Every touchdown gets a score. And mind the city: buildings and landmarks are solid, though you can still fly under the bridges. Every plane is built in detail, with moving control surfaces, landing gear, propellers and lights.

When things go wrong

On job flights, things sometimes go wrong: an engine quits, the gear will not come down, a bird cracks the windscreen, fuel starts leaking or a storm closes your airport. A calm checklist helps you decide: restart, glide, crank the gear down by hand or divert. Land safely for a big bonus and a medal. You choose how often it happens, or switch it off.

Photo mode and postcards

Freeze the world, fly the camera anywhere, pick sunrise or sunset and snap a postcard. Postcards from famous landmarks fill an album with a page for every country, a weekly photo challenge earns badges, and ten secret postcards wait at special places and times.

Explore and collect

Fly through 200 golden Sky Hunt rings hidden around the world to fill your pilot's passport and unlock regional paint schemes. Take on the Daily Flight, the same challenge for every pilot each day, with Steam leaderboards. And keep your eyes open: 44 easter eggs are hidden around the planet, from Loch Ness to a certain base in the Nevada desert.

Dogfights

A second game in the box. Fly from a squadron base against the Corsair air pirates: clear the skies, defend outposts, strike targets, intercept bombers, fly escort, hunt convoys and SAM sites, bust bunkers, then take on their boss aces. 15 fighters from First World War biplanes to modern jets, armed with cannons, rockets, bombs, heatseekers, radar missiles and glide bombs, plus flares and chaff.

Legends

Fly 14 famous air battles where they happened, in a plane of their era, from the First World War to the jet age. Each one has its own twist, a short history card, a medal and a paint scheme to earn.

Play together

Duel a friend 1v1, fight 2v2 team battles or fly co-op missions with 2 to 4 pilots. Online rooms are all-access: every Dogfights plane and every weapon for everyone, and the host picks the era and the upgrades.

Achievements and a secret
