Welcome Home Atlantis

Hello fellow pilots,

We are proud to announce Infinite Flight 1.8 ! As an homage to the return of the very last Shuttle mission, we are dedicating this release to the extraordinary people who over the years made this incredible technical challenge a reality.

Infinite Flight now includes the Shuttle Atlantis as well as a brand new mission system to put you in the cockpit and try to score a perfect landing !

Note that trial users can also enjoy this new addition to our fleet, we want everyone to be able to say goodbye in their own way :) The trial is only limited to the "easy" shuttle mission and doesn't upload scores to our servers.

Here is the detailed list of new features and fixes:

  • Added the legendary Shuttle Atlantis

  • New Mission System with ranking

  • Usual performance and UI tweaks

Happy Landings :)

Edit: We noticed that in some occurrences that the Shuttle Mission doesn't display the score once the shuttle is idle on the ground. We haven't been able to clearly reproduce this bug in house but re-installing the game seems to solve the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Update

Last week was big for us, we released an update to Infinite Flight that ads an Airbus A380 and we got a review by Best WP7 Games with a 4/5 star rating!

We've been working hard on 1.8, which brings a very special feature, something that is time sensitive, linked to current events, and that can't really take off, only land... Any guesses?

We were scheduled to release this update today but an update to the submission process has prevented us from doing so... We'll have to delay the update until this gets fixed on Microsoft's side... Hopefully, this can be done before Thursday (wink, wink ;)

Edit: It's been submitted! Hopefully, things will go fine!

We've heard the news that this update of the marketplace also brings a new beta testing feature. If anyone is interested in beta testing for us, send us a shout (contact@flyingdevelopmentstudio.com), you'll be able to impact the development of Infinite Flight and test features before we release them to the public! It's your chance to make a difference :)
