My son is a big fan of the Infinite Flight sim, which recently integrated with ForeFlight. He's really going to be bummed out if Boeing decides to stop supporting that link.



How does Infinite Flight compare to the mobile version of X-Plane 10?

I think it's pretty fun that X-Flight 10 mobile has, for example, the full version of their in-house Boeing 737. It pales in comparison to some of the 3rd party offerings for desktop X-Plane, but for a flight simulator on a mobile device it has very impressive system depth, with a working FMC and all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaJuIfqYRPY

However, manipulating all those buttons on an iPad touchscreen is not the most comfortable and has some quirks (you kind of need to look at the button in the right angle, for example). Is that better in Infinite Flight?
