optimization14 positive mentions
story3 negative mentions
  • The simulator is built specifically for VR, offering excellent VR performance with smooth framerates (up to 90-120 FPS) even on mid-range hardware.
  • Flight models and VR cockpit interaction are highly detailed and immersive, with realistic and interactive controls allowing manipulation of switches and knobs.
  • The inclusion of globally streamed photoreal scenery provides a unique and immersive VFR experience with many autogen buildings and realistic clouds.
  • The game suffers from lack of frequent updates and slow development progress leading to feelings of abandonment and lack of new content.
  • There are numerous bugs and missing features such as non-working autopilot systems, limited aircraft and scenarios, lack of replay mode, and imperfect VR controls (e.g., motion controllers issues).
  • Graphics are basic compared to competitors, with incomplete scenery, missing landmarks, and some performance instability like crashes or lag on certain systems.

    Optimization for this flight simulator is generally praised, especially its VR performance which is described as smooth, well-optimized, and better than many competitors. While most users experience excellent and consistent frame rates even on modest hardware, some report occasional micro-stuttering or performance drops likely due to issues like memory leaks, which the developers actively address through updates and direct support. Overall, the sim delivers a reliably fluid and immersive experience, particularly in VR, though a few users still face challenges depending on their system.

    • “Performance: perfectly optimized for VR, never had an issue.”
    • “The performance of the sim is excellent, even on my ageing PC.”
    • “Vr performance, as you might expect given the devs history, is exceptional, and you can easily hop between 2D and VR with a single click.”
    • “Unfortunately, while the claim that it's optimized for VR seems legit, it performs very poorly on my PC and many others according to discussions.”
    • “Cons: thus far the worst VR performance of any flight sim available on Steam that I'm aware of.”
    • “I will amend my review as things progress but can't honestly recommend anyone try it until they fix the controls and performance.”

  • graphics

    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    32% positive mentions, 54% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    Users find the graphics to be generally decent and smooth in VR, offering solid performance even on average hardware, with some praising the realistic scenery and night visuals. However, many note that the graphics are somewhat basic or outdated, especially the cockpit visuals, and there are issues with settings accessibility and detail consistency. While not the most advanced visually, the sim shows strong potential and balance between performance and graphical fidelity.

    • “A realistic flight sim that was built for VR and can get 120 fps on average hardware with decent graphical fidelity.”
    • “The performance and graphical quality of this sim puts all the big name sims to shame.”
    • “It's butter smooth getting 90 fps in VR with 1.6 supersampling and mostly high graphics settings on my 1080/7700 and the auto-gen scenery is very dense and looks quite convincing, especially at night.”
    • “Graphics are poor, cockpit in VR looks like old FSX and flight model is very simple and basic, most of the planes fly the same and unrealistically.”
    • “The graphics are worst of the three.”
    • “It does show a lot of potential, and the VR is pretty smooth despite the high level of graphical details, but there are so many really basic things that don't work at all, or work very poorly, that it hardly matters.”

  • story

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The story aspect serves primarily as a framework to support future gameplay features like air traffic and missions, but currently lacks depth and functionality, with users highlighting issues such as non-working GPS units that hinder simple navigation tasks.

    • “The GPS units don't work in any of the aircraft, so you can't even plot a simple course between airports.”
    • “- flight missions.”
    • “Okay so listen guys I got to take the story back to a little earlier:”

  • stability

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from frequent bugs and crashes, with many users finding it unstable and poorly maintained. Motion controller functionality is notably problematic, and overall stability issues hinder gameplay experience.

    • “This is a buggy, often-crashing, and plain ugly mess, long abandoned by devs, that never left early access stage.”
    • “I am disappointed that the motion controller stuff feels very buggy, with many commands not accessible from the controller.”
    • “Just a little buggy on how you operate some of the switches and levers.”

  • atmosphere

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users praise the game's sky and atmosphere for their realistic, volumetric clouds and overall immersive feel, but some suggest toning down the overly bright terrain colors and incorporating a mistier atmosphere for improved ambiance.

    • “The feel of sky and atmosphere is really good, and clouds have a volumetric feel to them, really nice.”
    • “The other minor wish is to subdue the bright terrain yellow and emerald green colors from the generic maps and add some misty atmosphere.”

  • humor

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor aspect is perceived as unintentional and stems from frustrating or awkward flight controls, making the planes feel amusingly difficult to manage rather than genuinely funny.
