Yesterday Firemint announced this – To celebrate the OS 3.0 Software Update, Flight Control is going multiplayer. This is going to be the first iPhone 3.0 app that will go multiplayer by utilizing the new ‘Peer to Peer Bluetooth Gameplay’ feature in OS 3.0. Prior to OS 3.0, players would have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network in order to play any local networking games. With 3.0, all you need are two iPhones with Bluetooth. Toucharcade discovered this new feature:

When you set up a Peer to Peer game, you are sharing flight control duties with your friend. In this level example, one person lands all the red planes, while the other lands the yellow planes and helicopters.

What’s new:

- To celebrate the OS 3.0 Software Update, Flight Control is going multiplayer!
- Peer-to-Peer mutliplayer mode is compatible with iPhone 3G, iPhone 3G S and iPod touch (2nd generation).
- Using Peer-to-Peer networking on supported devices, two Flight Controllers can now play together. One Controller will be in charge of pink aircraft, the other of yellow and blue. Aircraft will appear as usual, but you can only land your own colour(s) – other aircraft must be directed off the side of the screen and will then appear on the other Controller’s airfield.

To turn on Bluetooth, you have to go to Settings -> General -> Bluetooth and turn it on. Only the iPhone 3G, 3GS and the 2nd Gen iPod Touch can use Peer to Peer Bluetooth.

Flight Control costs $0.99 and one can download from this App Store link.
