Needs major improvements.

I have had the original app for a while and I have enjoyed it immensely. When I saw this new one thinking that the newer version would have vast improvements I downloaded it. Wow, what a big disappointment. In my humble opinion the areas that need vast improvements:
1) The graphics are atrocious, planes lack details, runways look like left over CGA graphics from the 80s. The graphics of the surroundings lack details.
2) The altimeter needs numbers, so the user can see how high they are.
3) The fonts in the app need to be changed, they are stuck to each other and they are garbled and hard to read.
4) The original app tells you what kind of plane you would be purchasing (i.e. Boeing 747, Boeing 737, Airbus 340, Boeing 767...) This new app has distorted pic of the plane with no model description.

Although adding the options of flaps, gear and breaks are good touch, I will still highly recommend and will be playing the original app until improvements made to this game.
My two cents.
