Fun and accessible flight simulator, great for beginners and casual players.
Beautiful graphics and scenery, especially when flying at higher altitudes.
Good selection of aircraft and enjoyable flight dynamics, particularly with aerobatic planes.

Limited content with only one map (Switzerland) and a small selection of aircraft.
Poor customer support and problematic DRM that restricts reinstallation on new systems.
Lacks depth and realism compared to more advanced flight simulators, making it feel more like an arcade game.

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their stunning realism and high quality, contributing to an immersive experience. However, some users note that while the visuals are impressive, the overall content and gameplay mechanics fall short, leading to a perception of repetitiveness and a lack of depth in the flight simulation experience.
- “Stunning graphics and responsive smooth control.”
- “I will admit this game has outstanding graphics and gameplay.”
- “High quality graphics and very smooth keyboard controls make this an excellent flight sim.”
- “The content is lacking... I was under the impression more content was coming this year with updated graphics, but nothing has been spoken; they're just concentrated on the stupid version of their game on iPhone.”
- “Also, the ground graphics are very repetitive.”
- “While the graphics could do with an uplift and perhaps render water physics and more 3D models, it definitely succeeds in being a good flight simulator.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with users noting the absence of a narrative or meaningful missions. While the aircraft and scenery are visually appealing, players feel that the gameplay is limited to basic flying without any compelling objectives or challenges, leading to a sense of boredom. Overall, the experience is described as simplistic and lacking in content, failing to provide a satisfying story-driven experience.
- “I can imagine some decent missions like bombing range for F-18 or something like 'fly from airport A to airport B, pick up a tourist there and fly him around Matterhorn, then successfully land at airport C.'”
- “I'm a hardened simmer (Falcon BMS 4.32, DCS World, Prepar3D v2.4) and I've played many of them; this one is the least complex of them all in terms of systems. Flight dynamics is another story, and they've been done quite nicely.”
- “Bought this yesterday; it's not a flight sim. It bored me after 30 minutes. There's no story, there's no maps; however, the planes look cute. Can I get my money back?”
- “Not a lot of planes, water is solid and you can land on it. The water color is a very light blue that I've never seen before. There is not much to do besides take off, fly around, and land. No missions that I could find; it is also kind of expensive for what you can do in it.”
