    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their smooth performance, realistic aircraft visuals, and excellent VR integration, offering fast loading times and solid frame rates even on mid-range hardware. While they are not as photorealistic or detailed as competitors like MSFS 2020 or X-Plane 12, the graphics strike a good balance between quality and performance, making the simulator accessible and enjoyable for casual and VR users. Some critiques note less detailed scenery and environmental graphics, but overall the visuals are considered impressive and well-optimized.

    • “My congratulations to the developers for producing a really great sim for instant gratification and super smooth visuals.”
    • “The visuals are impressive, and it runs flawlessly at 60 frames per second in 4k.”
    • “Graphics are amazing, sounds are great, and the realism with using and operating the aircraft is just good.”
    • “The graphics and scenery are not up to par with MSFS or X-Plane, but it is still amazing software considering they are such a small company compared to Laminar Research and Microsoft.”
    • “The graphic performance of Aerofly FS 4 seems very good, but unfortunately the graphic details and realism are poor in my opinion compared to MSFS 2024 - even if you download tons of GB for e.g. Europe or USA DLC.”
    • “It stutters all the time, even when I turn the graphics right down to pixelated garbage.”

  • optimization

    76 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    55% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 5% negative mentions

    Aerofly FS excels in optimization, delivering consistently smooth performance and fast loading times even on mid-range hardware, with particularly outstanding VR performance that outshines many competitors. While graphics are not photorealistic and scenery detail is modest—likely a trade-off for this efficiency—the simulator offers a seamless, immersive experience with minimal need for manual tweaking. Overall, it’s highly praised for balancing efficient performance and enjoyable visuals, making it ideal for users prioritizing smooth gameplay and VR immersion over ultra-realistic graphics.

    • “The optimization is world-class, meaning you can spend less time tweaking settings and more time enjoying the immersion.”
    • “Aerofly FS 4 is one of the smoothest and best optimized flight simulators I’ve ever played.”
    • “The meticulous attention to performance and optimization is nothing short of astonishing, offering users like myself a seamless and immersive experience that is truly a breath of fresh air.”
    • “It's also poorly optimized and not really good on Xbox since it runs at under 30fps plus the lag when pulling high G maneuvers is so awful, even the technical issues that come with it are a big no-no.”
    • “I decided to buy this sim only because of full VR controller support; only thing that is bugging me is lack of VR quality of life improvements like pushback, replay, menu, HUD and other stuff you can do in 2D (flat screen), optimization for dense city scenery (size of game with all scenery addons also, btw) because it drops FPS heavily and most important one: dynamic weather.”
    • “Terrible VR optimization.”

  • story

    44 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    14% positive mentions, 79% neutral mentions, 7% negative mentions

    The game lacks a traditional story or career mode, focusing primarily on free flight with some training missions and challenges. While missions add variety, some users find them poorly designed, but they still provide short, satisfying flight experiences. Overall, the story aspect is minimal, with emphasis on realistic flight simulation and VR performance rather than narrative depth.

    • “It has some training missions and challenges but most of the game is just free flight mode.”
    • “So some cool missions, career mode could add a lot of fun.”
    • “The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, and the various training missions and challenges help to keep things interesting and engaging.”
    • “At least I still don't know what to do after I landed the plane to complete a mission.”
    • “☑ No story.”
    • “Their missions are so bad that the very first one literally takes you through the side of a mountain.”

  • stability

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    28% positive mentions, 5% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

  • gameplay

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    42% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions
