    Overall, optimization for the game shows a mixed reception among users. While some praise its excellent VR performance and smooth framerates, others report issues such as micro-stuttering and performance drops, particularly on certain systems. The developers appear responsive to performance concerns, with some users experiencing significant improvements after troubleshooting, but there are still notable inconsistencies in performance across different setups.

    • “Performance: perfectly optimized for VR, never had an issue.”
    • “Excellent VR implementation and optimization.”
    • “The performance and graphical quality of this sim puts all the big name sims to shame.”
    • “Unfortunately, while the claim is that it's optimized for VR seems legit, it performs very poorly on my PC and many others if you look at the discussions.”
    • “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 I can't honestly recommend anyone try it until they fix the controls and performance.”
  • graphics
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the flight simulator are described as basic yet functional, with decent performance in VR, averaging 90-120 fps on moderate hardware. While some users appreciate the smoothness and potential of the visuals, particularly during evening flights, others criticize the outdated cockpit design and lack of detail compared to other simulators. Overall, the graphics are seen as a mixed bag, with room for improvement but a solid foundation for future updates.

    • “A realistic flight sim that was built for VR and can achieve 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-generated scenery is very dense and looks quite convincing, especially at night.”
    • “The graphics are poor; the cockpit in VR looks like old FSX, and the flight model is very simple and basic. Most of the planes fly the same and unrealistically.”
    • “The graphics are the worst of the three.”
    • “I know we have all been burned by Microsoft promising pretty graphics and smooth framerates—only to deliver us crapware that a NASA PC farm couldn't ever run smoothly... again and again.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent crashes and numerous bugs that hinder gameplay. Users express disappointment in the lack of polish, particularly with motion controller functionality and basic interactions, indicating that the game feels unfinished and has been neglected by developers.

    • “This is a buggy, often-crashing, and plain ugly mess, long abandoned by the developers, that never left the early access stage.”
    • “A buggy, unsatisfying mess.”
    • “I am disappointed that the motion controller features feel very buggy, with many commands not accessible from the controller.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of functionality, particularly with non-operational GPS units in aircraft, which hampers the ability to navigate and complete flight missions effectively. This limitation detracts from the overall narrative experience, leaving players frustrated.

    • “Okay, so listen guys, I have to take the story back to a little earlier.”
    • “The GPS units don't work in any of the aircraft, so you can't even plot a simple course between airports.”
    • “Okay, so listen guys, I have to take the story back to a little earlier:”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers appreciate the game's atmospheric design, highlighting the impressive volumetric clouds and overall sky feel. However, some suggest that the bright terrain colors could be toned down and complemented with a misty ambiance for a more immersive experience.

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

    Users find the humor in the game's plane controls, noting that the experience can be amusingly frustrating, particularly when adjusting trim leads to unexpected handling issues. The overall sentiment suggests that the quirks of the flight mechanics contribute to a lighthearted, albeit challenging, gameplay experience.
