Advanced Space Flight is a highly realistic spaceflight simulator that includes relativistic effects for interstellar travel. It also functions as a planetarium, star chart, and exoplanet explorer with real-scale celestial bodies and views from meters up to the observable universe. Not ranked in any top list, it continues to attract steady interest with 1,000,000+ total and 13K downloads in the last 30 days.
Pros & Cons
Relativistic physics for interstellar travel
Real-scale planetary and exoplanet views within 50 light-years
Diverse fleet of ships inspired by real and proposed tech
Planetarium, star chart, and exoplanet explorer features in one app
Free to download with optional in-app purchases
Less emphasis on planet-centric exploration language compared to competitors (keywords like planet, explore, astronomy are common among rivals)
Marketing lacks explicit emphasis on sandbox or interactive modeling features relative to competitor terms (sandbox, models, interactive, facts)
Explicit mention of features like moons or satellites is limited in positioning despite their inclusion in the content

Description
Advanced Space Flight is a realistic space simulator for interplanetary and interstellar travel. It is the only space simulator available that takes into account relativistic effects during interstellar flight. Besides simulating space flight this app can also be used as a planetarium, with all known planets shown in real scale with their accurate keplerian orbits. It can also be used as a star chart and exoplanet explorer, showing all solar systems with confirmed exoplanets within 50 light years from the Sun. This is the only app where you can get a sense of the true scale of the Universe, zooming out throught thousands of galaxies and galaxy clusters until you see the entire observable universe in your screen.
Locations: - All Solar System planets plus 5 dwarf planets and 27 moons - All confirmed exoplanetary solar systems within 50 light years from the Sun, making a total of over 100+ exoplanets. - Over 50+ stars, including main sequence stars like the Sun, red dwarfs like TRAPPIST-1, white dwarfs like Sirius B, brown dwarfs like 54 Piscium B, etc. - Experience the full scale of the Universe: you can zoom out from a few meters to billions of light years, until you see the entire observable universe in your screen.
Flight Modes: - Realistic Flight: Travel using optimized trajectories, calculated based on the orbital parameters of the origin and destination planets to minimize fuel usage. These are the kind of trajectories that would be used in a real space mission. - Free Flight: Take manual control of a spaceship in space, activating the engines as you see fit to achieve your goals.
Spaceships: Advanced Space Flight features several spacecraft, based on present and future technology: - Space Shuttle (Chemical Rocket): Designed in 1968-1972 by NASA and North American Rockwell. It has been in service from 1981 to 2011, making it the most successful reusable spacecraft ever built. - Falcon Heavy (Chemical Rocket): Designed and manufactured by SpaceX, made its first flight in 2018. - Nuclear Ferry (Nuclear Thermal Rocket): Designed in 1964 by Ling-Temco-Vought Inc. - Lewis Ion Rocket (Ion Drive): Designed in a 1965 study by the Lewis Research Center. - Project Orion (Nuclear Pulse Propulsion): Designed in 1957-1961 by General Atomics. Some early prototypes were built before the project was abandoned after 1963. - Project Daedalus (Fusion Rocket): Designed in 1973-1978 by the British Interplanetary Society. - Antimatter Startship (Antimatter Rocket): First proposed in the early 1950s, the concept was further studied after advances in antimatter physics in the 80s and 90s. - Bussard Ramjet (Fusion Ramjet): First proposed in 1960 by Robert W. Bussard, design was improved in 1989 by Robert Zubrin and Dana Andrews. - IXS Enterprise (Alcubierre Warp Drive): Based on a concept design fom NASA in 2008, it was the first serious attempt to design a superluminal spacecraft.
Artificial Satellites: - Sputnik 1 - Hubble Space Telecope - Internation Space Station - Kepler Space Observatory - Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) - James Webb Space Telescope
Effects: - Atmospheric light scattering effects, making atmospheres look realistic both from space and from the surface of planets. - Planetary clouds that move at different speed than the surface. - Clouds in tidal-locked planets form giant hurricanes, caused by the Coriolis force. - Planetary rings with realistic light scattering and real-time shadows from the planet. - Realtivistic effects when travelling close to the speed of light: time dilation, length contraction and relativistic doppler effect.

I love the game Because it has so much Planet In details And I would Suggest it To show the ground when zooming the planet Earth or any Other Solid planet

I like this game but I encountered a bug, when your re-enter earth while time warping really fast, it flings you into interstellar space, please fix this.

I'm still stuck on mission 2 :) I'm no rocket scientist but this game is fun and I love it
★★★★★D Max· Aug 22, 2024
Cool but we need new things like : Vesta + Sedna + MK-2 Moon of Make make and. I want to crate my own rockets pls game is fun, but you have a video on May 2017?! Game is fun new here so keed it up😊.

The game is fine, the access to the spaceships, however is so limited that it's TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE to reach even the closest exoplanets to us. Even trying with the most advanced initially free spaceships is unimaginable (runs out of fuel very quickly) alongside other flight control issues. So either to fairly increase the amount of fuel the spaceships can contain, or at least giving free access to the least advanced spaceship among the locked ones would deserve 3 more stars

ain't good. Number 1. You can't do anything just watching the rocket fly. Number 2 The graphics is BAD I mean it very BAD. Number 3. I GOT SCAMMED. I don't recommend playing this. Ñot fake

Waste of time and money. There are no in-game tutorials. The only tutorials are links to YouTube, but I can't play *and* watch, and I forget everything waiting for the game to load back up. The controls are incomprehensible; just as I start to think I may have figured something out, it goes and does something I didn't expect and can't react to. I'm left with no idea what to do or how to do it. Seriously, how hard is it to include some in-game tutorials?
