Found out that Fighter Pilot Academy now works on my older iPhone 5s. Not sure when it became compatible. Seems no one else has experienced the game so I downloaded it.
Just finished my first go at it for a quick 15 minutes.
Mind you I haven't ever played a game on a cell phone, with very limited use of playstation/xbox type controllers.
First Impression:
Interface seems good. Graphics are excellent. Seems to have good flight characteristics ( i.e. realistic) . First flights are missions like: take off and survive it. take off and navigate to waypoints then take off and attack drones and down one. That's where I stopped as I didn't have time to work some at it. It seems to be easy enough for most anyone to takeoff and fly, didn't try landing. Shooting down your first plane appears to not be easy though, although once i get the hang of adjusting the throttle with a big thumb and a small screen it should be doable with a little effort... as it should be. It will take me time to get used to manipulating the phone to fly instead of my usually using a joystick and rudder pedals to fly in Warbirds.
The game will be much easier and more user friendly on an iPad or large iPhone, at least from my perspective (big thumbs on a small screen).
I will try it out some more, but if I want to really fly (well almost) I'll be in Warbirds on my 27" Mac.
