Description
Carrier Landing HD is a high-end flight sim optimized for iOS devices, offering the following advantages:
Multiplayer Game:
The multiplayer mode supports authentic Air Combat and Deathmatch modes. You can team up with friends for realistic dogfights or join Deathmatch rooms to engage in intense battles with players from around the world.
Aerodynamics:
The aerodynamic model of each aircraft includes multiple components, with careful calculations of their inflow. As a result, the simulator realistically simulates the unique aerodynamic characteristics of many aircraft. This includes the high angle of attack maneuverability of F18 and F22, the ability of F14 to perform a full turn roll using only rudder, the pedal turn maneuver of F35 and F22, and the cobra maneuver of the Su series aerodynamic layout aircraft. The development process involved real pilots for testing and feedback.
Dynamics:
When a 40,000-pound carrier-based aircraft lands on the deck at a descent rate of 5 meters per second, the compression rebound of the landing gear and the damping of the suspension are finely adjusted to create the most realistic visual effects. The recoil force from each bullet is accurately calculated and applied to the aircraft. The simulator also implements rope dynamics simulations for arresting cables and aerial tanker refueling tubes, details that are often not found in many PC flight sims.
Flight Control System (FCS):
Modern fighters often utilize static instability layouts, making it challenging for pilots to fly without the intervention of FCS. The simulator implements an FCS component with the same algorithm as the real flight controller. Your control commands first enter the FCS, which calculates the result using angular velocity feedback or G-load feedback. The result is then passed to the servo to control the control surface.
Avionics:
The simulator implements a HUD based on the real HUD principle. The size and view angle of the HUD characters and symbols have been strictly verified against the HUD of corresponding real aircraft. This offers the most realistic HUD implementation available in the mobile market. The F18 currently features a fully-featured fire control radar, and fire control radars for other aircraft are also under development.
Arms:
Each missile in the simulator utilizes a real dynamic model, treating them as tiny aircraft. The guidance algorithm employs the same APN algorithm used in real missiles. The guidance results are transmitted to the missile's FCS, which then controls the control surface deflection for maneuvering. The initial speed of the gun bullet in the simulator strictly adheres to real data, accurately calculating the bullet's movement in each frame considering the effects of gravity and air resistance.
Earth Environment Rendering:
The simulator employs multiple scattering algorithms to calculate the color of the sky, ground, and objects, thanks to innovative optimization algorithms. It provides realistic sky colors at dusk and dynamic projections of the earth in the atmosphere. Whether flying at foggy sea levels or 50,000 feet high, you can genuinely feel the presence of the air.Additionally, the game utilizes real astronomical data to determine the positions of stars, the moon, and the sun.

The new F-15C is nearing completion. Given the substantial backend improvements made, we will offer it as a free addition in our upcoming new sim. Stay tuned!
Build 858455509v2020.5.052023-07-25 12:22:48
- Fixed the issue where aircraft livery cannot be selected in multiplayer.
- More random spawn points in death match mode for multiplayer. (Note: This modification requires upgrading the multiplayer version, as the old and new versions will be mutually invisible on the server side. We recommend you upgrade to the new version for multiplayer gaming.)
- Fixed the issue of J15 tanker aircraft crashing.
- Aircraft that have been unlocked without an internet connection will not be locked again.
Build 858210279v2020.5.042023-07-05 15:00:51
- Enhanced the padlock feature. It now supports up to three targets, and tap again will switch to the next target.
- Added a dogfight indicator. When holding the padlock to visually lock onto hostile, you can use this indicator to determine the relative position between the tracked target and your aircraft, In multiplayer dogfights, this will be of great assistance.
- The UI of free flight and game settings has been updated.
- Added multiplayer score and number of win leaderboards to the Game Center.
- Fixed the problem of radar signal going through the mountain.
- Fixed some bugs.
Build 857780158v2020.5.032023-06-13 11:44:57
-Bug fixes for multiplayer games
Build 855594870v2020.5.022023-06-09 00:23:34
-Finally, the multiplayer is here! Apologies for the delay. Currently, only the F18 is supported, but stay tuned for future updates as we'll be adding support for other aircraft.
Now, you can arrange with your friends for a 1v1 dogfight in a private room. Alternatively, you can join Deathmatch rooms and engage in battles with players from around the world. If you prefer a non-combat experience, the Free Flight room allows you to peacefully train and fly in formation with your friends. This version is just the beginning, and in the future, I will add more gameplay options, such as carrier recovery training. I will also introduce additional features like real-time voice chat.
Build 854576677v2020.4.042023-02-09 12:19:16

-Optimized the rendering of the transition of the land toward the horizon in the high-altitude view. Enhances the effect of fog.
-I always thought the classic hornet used FULL FLAP for catapult, but I was wrong, it uses HALF FLAP, Super Hornet uses FULL FLAP, thanks to Fabio Todesco for reminding me about it. Now it has been fixed, and it also has the ability to automatically set the AOA trim and NU trim based on weight when catapulting.
-Jamming algorithm updated for jamming infrared missiles with flares.
-Fixed some problems in the flight control.

Build 838532481v2020.2.092020-11-10 22:18:47
-Finally, the gun sight of F-18 was correctly implemented. The Gun director considered the target acceleration to predict the impact point, and had high accuracy in the snapshot. It is assumed that the target does not have a large acceleration change during the bullet flight time. At the same time, it has high stability.
-Padlock button and an attitude indicator were added. This padlock button has the function of zooming in/out and firing at the same time. For the upcoming 1V1 gun dog fight multiplayer function. When you use a narrow FOV to observe hostile, you need it to remind you of the current attitude and the relative position of the hostile.
-Use Taptic engine to add some vibration feedback to some buttons and operations.
-Re-implemented the camera shake simulation of the cockpit perspective.
Build 837843093v2020.2.082020-09-19 13:06:07
Fix bugs and performance optimization
Build 836995090v2020.2.072020-09-06 21:57:21
-New map NAS Fallon
-Missile flight control system upgraded
In the previous version, launching missiles at high AOA or high g, especially AIM9X, is very easy to get out of control or target unlocking. If launching AIM120 in active mode with high AOA, the flight vector will lag, causing The target cannot be captured correctly. The modification of the flight control system improves these situations.
-MFD function panel changes
In the previous version, only when the MFD interface is displayed, you can activate it's function panel. Now you can activate it at any time, even if the MFD interface is not displayed. For example, in dogfight, you can directly turn on the radar's ACM mode to quickly lock the hostile.
-Improve F14's flight control system
There will not be much pitch changes during the process of changing the sweep angle. The FCS has been modified to enhance the stability of the pitch axis and roll axis, and the effect of the spoiler under different angles of attack has been calibrated.
-Rendering system improvement
Updated the tonemapping algorithm
