Same here, it's so fun to see the runway light come out through the fog to celebrate a perfect approach

Not all runways have ILS, when an airport is set to have one in our database, it should auto select when you are in range of the localizer. On the map however, we show all approach paths regardless of the presence of a localizer or glideslope.
In the next update, the runways with ILS have their approach path rendered at red, so it's easy to know which airports have ILS approaches.
If you have found a runway that has an ILS approach in real life that we don't show, then it's most likely a bug in the database or in our autoselect code and I'd love a repro

We'd love to have Approach Plates in the app, we'll think about that for future releases, and for the airports yes, they are coming

Hello Guys,

Infinite Flight 1.2 is out!

This version bring great new features and bug fixes. Our newest airplane is the CRJ-200, which was the top request on our feedback site in the Aircraft Category when we started working on it last month. It comes as a free add-on with this update. Missions are also part of the top requested items, we’ve listened, and this update comes with a Space Shuttle with 4 missions, a set of precision landing missions for the Boeing 747 as well as 3 formation flight missions with the Spitfire!
We also made improvements to the map control with added support for pinch-to-zoom and panning, making flight planning much easier. The map also shows more Navigation Data with Airways and Fixes.
On the bug fixes front, we fixed issues with the controls, sound, achievements and flight model.

Here is the full list of features and fixes for this release:
- Added the Bombardier CRJ-200
- Added the Space Shuttle (With 4 landing missions)
- Added support for elevator trim
- New missions for the 747 (Landing)
- New missions for the Spitfire (Formation Flight)
- Improved runways (Markings and new texture)
- Added pinch to zoom and panning to the map control
- Added Airways and Fixes to the map (usable in flight plans)
- Tweaked physics of the 321 (adjusted weight) and Cessna 172 (Adjusted weight and lift curves)
- Better nose wheel behavior (steering angle increased)

Bug Fixes:
- Inverted controls issue is now fixed
- Sound shouldn't go away anymore
- Fixed broken drag computation that caused uncontrollable spins
- Fixed broken landing achievements

After I updated to the new Version 1.3, the App keeps crashing when I try to select an Airplane. I have found out that it's because I have disabled "In-App purchases" on my device. When I enable "In-App purchases" in the Settings, the App works fine again.

Thank you for the report and for the workaround, we've indeed received a couple emails about this. We'll push an update ASAP.

Regards,
Matt

Yes I saw that moments ago. No problem. I haven't seen a bug fix that was fixed and approved so quickly. Very nice.

Thanks, Apple did a lot to help out on this one.
The issue on our end was a one line fix, we just had to have them agree to expedite the review process and they were nice enough to agree

We've pushed our latest update, let us know what you think guys

Awesome sound! Animation is superb. I like this flight.

Looks great, but i really need a cockpit to enjoy these things. A working cockpit with moving instruments. Atleast the nav/ils and a few other things. Any plans on adding a 2d cockpit ala xplane/ms fs? I´m guessing that would make more sense on the ipad, rather then a 3d one with tiny navigation windows, you probably would have to zoom in and around all that stuff while flying...
