RC Plane Explorer

Released · RC flight and exploration simulator

RC Plane Explorer

Realistic RC plane physics, huge 8×8 km scenarios to explore and generate, a vast selection of planes and quadcopters, and a real-time day and night cycle.

What's underneath RC Plane Explorer: Scenarios: 8×8 km, procedurally generated. Terrain engine: New and fully custom. Physics and vehicles: Shared with RC Plane 3. Download size: Less than 1/5 of RC Plane 3.

RC Plane Explorer is built on the solid physics simulation of RC Plane 3 and shares all of its vehicles. What's new is the terrain: a fully custom procedural engine, first tested in Endless Drive, that we had been thinking about, planning and building for years. It allows virtually infinite scenarios for you to explore and customise.

Explore and discover

Free flight and exploration are at the heart of the game. Pick a biome in the main menu, then customise and regenerate a scenario from it as many times as you like. Each scenario rewards you with score for:

  • every area of the map you reveal
  • every animal species you discover: tap an animal the first time you see one of its species
  • every secret coin you collect: coins are small and hard to find, but red circles on the map mark where one can be, and a tingling sound tells you when you are close

Large score bonuses go to explorers who reveal 100% of the map, discover all the animal species or collect every secret coin, and you compete on a global explorers leaderboard.

Lighter and smoother

One of our goals was to cut the large download and install size of RC Plane 3. RC Plane Explorer is less than a fifth of its size, yet brings larger scenarios, more animals, more biomes, denser vegetation and much better performance.

Features

  • Realistic RC plane physics
  • A vast selection of planes and quadcopters
  • Real-time day and night cycle
  • Customisable wind and thermal currents
  • Graphics that push the limits of iOS devices
  • Try any plane that normally needs an in-app purchase by watching a reward video

The game shares most of its interface with RC Plane 3, and thanks to our account system your plane purchases carry over: log in with your RC Plane 3 username and password and your planes are unlocked.
