astragon's Take Off-The Flight Simulator to Launch April 2016

Moenchengladbach/Germany, March 17th, 2016 – Please switch your devices to Airplane mode, bring your seat into an upright position and close your seat belts – Take Off – The Flight Simulator will lift off on iPhone®, iPad® and Android devices in April 2016 and lead virtual pilots on an exciting journey to famous airports around the globe.

For airplane fans the dream of flying will at least come true in the virtual world with Take Off – The Flight Simulator! Ambitious pilots can climb into the detailed cockpits of 14 realistically recreated planes and take course on the big airports of 21 famous cities such as London, Los Angeles, Dubai or Frankfurt. Be it a small single engine light airplane or a huge jumbo jet – it will be the player’s own responsibility to navigate his vessel safely to its destination using either virtual joystick, slider or motion controls. Of course, this also includes take-offs and landings! Here, the pilot should always keep an eye on the weather conditions as rain or fog can turn an otherwise easy landing into a real challenge. Technical defects in the airplane likewise need to be dealt with swiftly while always keeping a cool head.

Additionally to a free flight mode which lets players explore the eight main islands of Hawaii in a completely open game world, Take Off – The Flight Simulator will also offer exciting and varied missions such as rescue flights, emergency landings, tourist services, cargo flights and many more. Successful missions are rewarded with new flight licenses, which in turn can be used to unlock bigger planes.

New vessels will be added to the player’s own airline bit by bit. These can be sent on flights across the globe to earn even more funds. This enables the captain to upgrade the planes of his fleet for more security and an increase of speed.

An extensive tutorial helps with a successful start into the player’s piloting career by comprehensively explaining each of the gameplay functions and controls to beginners and advanced aviators alike.

Additional to the 3D cockpit view there are several more camera angles to be chosen from, which will make the breathtaking landscapes even more enjoyable to the player.

Take a look at the Take Off – The Flight Simulator (iOS/Android) official announcement trailer:

Take Off – The Flight Simulator is currently in development by publisher astragon and the Polish developer studio Jujubee – known for cross-platform titles such as Flashout 3D, Spellcaster and Suspect: The Run!.

Take Off – The Flight Simulator will launch April 2016 on iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
