Nice work! I've been looking for a good flight simulator for Android (X-plane is nice but feels amazingly limited).

What is this written in? Would it be possible to port it to Harmattan?

Thanks! It's written in C#, we use Xamarin to target both iOS and Android. We also have a PC version running on standard MS.NET

I'm not familiar with Harmattan.

MeeGo Harmattan is the Linux-based OS that runs on the Nokia N9 and N950: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N9 It's more popular in Europe than America. And I know I'm probably dreaming, as most developers skip it in favor of porting to larger platforms, but it seems Mono does have framework bindings for Meego (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_(software)#Framework_archi...)
That's really cool! I didn't expect that you could use Xamarin for such games. Are you by any chance planning a Windows/Windows Phone release?
We were on Windows Phone but stopped maintaining the app a year ago because XNA was dropped by Microsoft.
