The story centers on a unique and engaging premise where players are coerced into flying missions for a South American drug cartel, featuring strong voice acting and a mob-themed plot twist. While the single-player campaign is relatively short, with about 6-8 missions and a playtime around 90 minutes, it maintains player interest through mission variety and narrative immersion. Some critiques include aggressive mission time limits, unclear directions, and inability to skip intro videos, but overall the story adds a compelling layer to the flight simulation experience.
- “I applaud the developers on the theme and story of the game; there's nothing quite like it.”
- “The campaign is fully voiced and the story has a crazy premise.”
- “The story kept me engaged while you basically learn the basics of flying.”
- “You're basically forced to run flight missions for a South American drug cartel.”
- “They have you fly through hoops that don't appear very quickly, leaving you on a timed mission with no idea where to go until you may already be going the wrong way.”
- “Also, you can't skip the intro videos, so you can be 2 seconds from a fully complete mission 500 times and you will have to watch the mission videos 500 times... the timelines get really aggressive really fast, and I think this should be stepped down a bit.”

The graphics are generally praised for being immersive and running well even on budget PCs, with detailed visuals that leverage VR capabilities effectively. However, some users note limitations due to headset resolution and medium-level settings, wishing for more advanced graphic options and higher-quality visuals. Overall, while not cutting-edge, the graphics provide a satisfactory and enjoyable experience.
- “In free flight mode, you can relax, enjoy the graphics and view, and practice landing and taking off from seven different airports.”
- “The game is made in Unreal Engine but the graphics are actually good, plus it runs very well even on a budget gaming PC.”
- “Incredible graphics and details that squeeze every ounce of VR power out of the Rift, Rift S, or Quest.”
- “The only downside to this game is the graphics; however, I believe this is due to the limited resolution of my headset and graphics settings being set to medium.”
- “I can't max out the graphics.”

Optimization appears generally solid after initial performance issues were resolved by reinstalling the game and rebooting the PC, indicating that problems were likely related to individual system setups rather than the game itself.
- “Removed my original impressions video after the devs pointed out that my performance issues must be my PC setup, and it seems they were right.”
- “I tried a fresh reboot of my PC and a fresh install of the game, and it was working fine for the first three missions without any performance problems.”
