Overall, the gameplay of the flight simulator is praised for its realism and smooth mechanics, with many users highlighting the impressive graphics and immersive experience. However, there are consistent requests for improvements, such as better landing mechanics, joystick support, and enhanced physics to reduce issues like bouncing during landings. Some players also express frustration with lag, limited free content, and the need for more tutorials to assist novice pilots.
“Absolutely beautiful graphics and simplistic gameplay of aircraft and the controls.”
“Great game mechanics, stunning graphics and one of the best mobile flight simulators.”
“Best flight simulator on the play store in terms of gameplay and graphics, can't be beat.”
“Gameplay is laggy.”
“Though the overall gameplay experience was fine, I find the physics quite awkward sometimes, which can break immersion during landing or in flight. For example, the plane's wheels would bounce too much on a hard landing or get stuck in the ground with larger aircraft.”
“I don't care for multiplayer and expensive servers that cost you money, but you have no excuse to have such limited single-player gameplay when your customers expected at least a fair amount of gameplay.”

The monetization model of the game has received significant criticism for its reliance on expensive in-app purchases, even in a paid app, which many users feel is exploitative and detracts from the overall experience. While some players appreciate the absence of ads, they express frustration over the limited content available without additional payments, leading to perceptions of the game as a "cash grab." Overall, the excessive in-app purchases and the need for subscriptions have left many players disappointed and feeling that the game prioritizes profit over player satisfaction.
“No ads which is fantastic.”
“I love this game because there are no ads, the physics are good, but please fix the yoke controls to make it easier. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“The game is very good, no doubt, but there are so many in-game purchases. If you could reduce some of the purchases, it would be much better.”
“Companies that create paid mobile games that still require in-app purchases to play the game entirely are what's wrong with the gaming industry.”
“But in-game purchases are made mandatory for getting new planes, which seems unfair since the game is already a paid one.”
“The in-app purchases are getting ridiculous.”

“It's very frustrating; just before landing online at EGLL, the game screen minimizes, freezes, and then crashes.”

“Graphics are mediocre, buggy software, and tends to crash often.”

Overall, while there are positive aspects, a consensus indicates that the game still requires better optimization to meet player expectations.

The story aspect of the game is perceived as lacking depth, with players expressing a desire for more structured missions, such as emergency landings and training scenarios. Many users feel that the addition of free multiplayer options and more diverse aircraft would enhance the overall experience, while also suggesting improvements like realistic environments and interactive elements like air traffic control. Overall, the community is eager for a more immersive and mission-driven narrative to elevate the gameplay.
“I really like the game overall, but if you could release this game on Oculus Go or Quest, I would like it even more.”
“Please add real water, missions, a training center, and free multiplayer because in real life there is free multiplayer.”
“The game is nice and enjoyable, but please add terminals and boarding passengers. Can we have ATC while on solo as we practice for online missions?”
“I like the flight mechanics, but the story is lacking. There are no engaging narratives or character development to keep players invested.”
“The game has potential, but the lack of a compelling story makes it feel empty and unfulfilling.”

“It's funny if you asked me to name an airline, which I clearly put as 'infinite shyte'; disappointment starts here.”

Users express mixed feelings about the game's atmosphere, noting that while the cockpit experience and aircraft graphics are praised, the overall terrain rendering is criticized for being overly colorful and cartoonish. There is a desire for more realistic atmospheric settings, including separate rendering options for aircraft and airport environments, as well as improvements in weather effects and gameplay differentiation across grades.
“What I like is the atmosphere in the cockpit, when I fly, when I need to create a flight plan, when I'm in an active airspace ruled by an ATC.”
“Pros: excellent aircraft, terrain atmosphere, and runway graphics.”
“From 5* to 3* 22.6, I'm no fan of fighter jets, so this update isn't for me. Changes need to be made, especially from casual to expert; there's little difference, and what's boring also is the grades. There's no difference in gameplay for grade 3 and 5, it becomes boring to play different numbers but the same gameplay. Also, there’s no need to keep doing updates on planes while some plane physics need rework and different atmospheric changes are needed; at least let there be no rain but let there be cumulonimbus clouds.”
“It's segmented and cartoonish; it does not feel as if the plane is in an atmosphere.”
“The environment lacks depth and immersion, making it hard to feel connected to the game world.”
“The overall ambiance feels flat and uninspired, failing to evoke any real sense of place.”

“There is no way that a simulation game subscription should ever cost more than a music streaming subscription.”
