    The game's graphics are generally praised for realism, detailed aircraft, and airport visuals, contributing to an immersive flight simulation experience. However, many users report issues with lag, stuttering, and occasional graphical glitches such as disappearing runways or inconsistent airport visuals, especially on mid to high-end devices. Users suggest improvements including better optimization, enhanced airport and cockpit details, addition of crash physics, and more advanced visual effects to elevate the overall graphical quality.

    • “The game is great and the graphics are superb because it brings out a lot of realism. Just one request though... kindly adjust in-app management of the game because it tends to lag a lot during play, which can be frustrating. Otherwise, it's a five-star for me compared to other flight simulator games.”
    • “This game's graphics are so cool and great, featuring 3D graphics and real-life liveries, making you feel like you're flying a real plane.”
    • “Amazing graphics in airports only and the time is very realistic. Please update with more features.”
    • “The graphics are pretty awful but I love the game like the 3D buildings, the plane, the physics. I just hope you can improve the graphics and plane quality.”
    • “Games okay you can take off from various airports but cannot land and when you come into land something happens with the graphics and you basically fly underground, so something's not right. Apart from that, it's okay but there must be something better, sorry.”
    • “Very very bad graphics; every time it says gear too low despite it being up. After a few minutes the airport and land disappear and the black screen comes. I hope that you will improve the graphic quality and solve all problems in the next update.”

    Users feel the game lacks structured story content, expressing a strong desire for mission-based gameplay involving specific flight objectives, passenger or cargo transport, ATC interactions, and weather conditions. They highlight issues like bugs hindering mission completion and unclear goals or rewards, making the current experience feel incomplete and lacking progression. Adding diverse, well-defined missions would significantly enhance engagement and relevance.

    • “Its best so far but please add missions where you can fly from one airport to the other transporting passengers or cargo. I love the game so much, thumbs up.”
    • “This is really a nice and simple game. I wish there could be more to it, like more airports missions to take the passengers from one airport to another with headings and other stuff so we could put it on autopilot and go there, including airport runway headings to align for landing.”
    • “Moreover, having missions (specific missions) or a free flight section might be a great idea to make this game relevant.”
    • “I couldn't complete any mission properly due to bug issues.”
    • “Most disgusting game, full of bugs and lag; please fix the orbit camera angle, control panel, and bugs—it is impossible to do a single mission.”
    • “It is so bad that if I have completed a mission or flight, I don't get any rewards; it doesn't tell me which airport to land at or where to park, but everything else is better.”
  • stability

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from frequent stability issues, including freezing, lagging, and buggy camera controls that negatively impact gameplay. Users report crashes during loading, unresponsive controls, and persistent glitches, indicating the game is poorly optimized and in need of significant bug fixes and performance improvements.

    • “This game's graphics are so cool and great, but the problem is I can't play it. Whenever I click the start button, it loads and suddenly freezes my device. Please fix these glitches and bugs.”
    • “In my experience, there is a lot of potential. The graphics are very nice and the game gives you the true experience of flying a real plane, but there are too many glitches in the game. The inner part of the plane jumps around, movement is too fast, and the game itself gets stuck on the main screen while flying and then throws you out.”
    • “Game has good scope for coming close to infinite flight simulator or FSX mobile, but right now it's filled with glitches, extremely wobbly camera movements, and an almost non-functional tilt system.”
  • monetization

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 11% neutral mentions, 56% negative mentions

    Monetization in the game is generally well-received as all aircraft can be unlocked using in-game XP without mandatory in-app purchases, which players appreciate. However, there are mixed opinions on ads: some find them tolerable or absent, while others feel that ads detract from the experience and request fewer or no ads. Overall, the game balances monetization with player enjoyment, but improvements in ad implementation and performance would enhance user satisfaction.

    • “All the aircraft can be bought with in-game XP, unlike other simulators that require in-app purchases to buy better aircraft.”
    • “Overall it is a great game; I'll surely buy some in-game purchases as long as it's affordable.”
    • “Really good game with no ads at all; you can unlock planes by earning XP and it has 3 different starting points: in the gate, mid-air, or a landing challenge.”
    • “I remember all the airports being free. Watching ads to earn XP doesn't work, and you don't need 6GB of RAM on a phone just to play a game. What's also crazy is that it is now money-centered. I have 4GB of RAM plus 4GB boost, so 8GB should be fine for this game. Please fix this. Was this game made to make money or so people can have fun?”
    • “The game is good, but perhaps with fewer ads it would be more fun.”
    • “The ground loading takes up 1 hour and there are a lot of bugs. The ads for XP won't work.”

    The gameplay is generally praised for its realistic controls, flight mechanics, and variety of aircraft, making it a solid flight simulator experience. However, users report issues with lag and performance, especially related to the game engine and third-person view, which detract from overall playability. Improvements in optimization and graphics are frequently suggested to enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “It's a decent flight simulator; I really enjoyed the controls, game mechanics, and graphics considering it is a free simulation game.”
    • “I think this is the best flight simulator in terms of gameplay, advanced controls, realistic graphics, and it teaches you how to properly control your plane to become the best pilot.”
    • “The game mechanics and graphics are great, but the game becomes extremely laggy and unplayable in third person; please fix this.”
    • “Gameplay is trash.”
  • optimization

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game suffers from poor optimization, particularly on devices with Dimensity 6100+ processors and Android 8.0, leading to lag and performance issues even on low graphics settings. Users suggest the outdated Unity engine may be a limiting factor and recommend the developer improve optimization to enhance smoothness and compatibility, including fixing camera bugs and better resource management.

    • “The aircraft control and mechanics are great, but the game needs a better engine because Unity can't support such complex games; it's outdated and causes lag. Proper optimization is required.”
    • “The developer is right about the app load when playing, which is unusual because play settings don't fully adjust memory and RAM usage for overall performance.”
    • “Even with graphics set to low, the game still does not run smoothly.”
    • “Optimization is very poor for Dimensity 6100+ processors.”
    • “The aircraft control and mechanics are great, but the game needs a better engine; Unity can't support such games as this. It's outdated and really lags. Proper optimization is required.”
    • “The game isn't optimized for Android 8.0 and is very laggy.”
  • humor

    The humor in the game is well-received, with funny passengers adding to the experience, though technical issues detract from overall enjoyment.

    • “I like the plane models; the cockpit looks good and the passengers are funny :)”
  • grinding
