Infinite Flight 1.3 for iOS

Fellow pilots,

Our last update was a bit more than a month ago, and since then, we've been busy. 
Infinite Flight 1.3 was just approved by Apple and it brings 2 new airplanes (Airbus 330-200F and  Airbus 340-600), realistic animations support (available on select airplanes for now), more taxiways, ATC Chatter, Reverse thrust and more.
Note that the new airplanes are available as in-app purchases, priced initially at $0.99 for our early adopter community. We will keep this low price for the time being.

We are well aware that In-App purchases won't satisfy everybody. However, as a small independent team, we need to find ways to sustain our business so we can continue working on Infinite Flight full time and enhance the quality of our simulator with each update.
Rest assured that we will continue to provide free updates as well as free content from time to time. After all, we are also Infinite Flight users and we make sure to follow the Golden Rule.

Here is the full changelog for this release:
  • Airbus 340-600 (Lufthansa, Thai Airways, Virgin Atlantic, South African Liveries) (In App Purchase) 
  • Airbus 330-200F (UPS Livery) (In App Purchase)
