One of the hottest games on the iPhone,
Flight Control from code maestros Firemint, has only just
received an update that shunted it to the front of the queue of apps circling the iTunes list, and now it's just got another one.
Flight Control has gone multiplayer, allowing two tin pushers to work together in the virtual air traffic control tower through peer-to-peer connectivity.
In a similar fashion to a real control tower, you must land you own planes while pushing the other aircraft off screen and onto your colleague's radar.
Flight Control recently clocked up
1 million sales, and with another major update like this one, Firemint's undoubtedly on its way to becoming the first developer to break the 2 million games sales mark.
Grab the update for free through the App Store.

@Roland
Assuming they're using the GameKit API to do the multiplayer portion of things, then yes, bluetooth is required. The GameKit API does not support wifi connections between devices, only bluetooth.
On a side note... for some reason I cannot login today. Anybody care to shed some light on that?

Roland, have you gone into Settings, then General, then Bluetooth and turned it on? Sorry, that sounds like a v patronising piece of advice, but I've seen a couple of stories saying that this is the most common problem.
