What's Free and What Unlocks

Flatout ATC is free to download, has no ads, and one single purchase unlocks everything. Here is exactly how the pieces fit.

Free, forever

  • Flight Academy: all 12 lessons.
  • The free levels: the Tutorial and other levels marked with the green Free badge, at any difficulty.
  • Daily Challenge: every day.
  • The Watch: the first episode of every season.
  • Live Traffic: one real-traffic shift per day.
  • Premium career levels: a daily allowance of free plays (the counter shows on the level card), played at Novice difficulty. The allowance resets each day.

The Base Game Unlock

One purchase, yours forever. It opens:

  • Every career level and bonus level, at your chosen difficulty.
  • Unlimited Live Traffic shifts over New York, London, and Atlanta.
  • Free Play sandbox mode on every level.
  • 3D views, including the tower camera.
  • All story seasons of The Watch as they release.

No subscriptions, no consumables, no ads for anyone.

Purchases, restore, and family

The unlock is tied to your App Store account. Reinstalled or moved to a new device? Use Restore Purchases in the store screen and it comes right back. Progress itself syncs through your game account, so your wings, scores, and awards follow you too.

If something looks wrong with a purchase, contact support from the help widget in the app or through this help center; include roughly when you bought it and we will sort it out.
