The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users noting that they are outdated and lack detail, often making it difficult to see the plane at a distance. While some appreciate the simplicity that allows for broader accessibility, others feel that the graphics do not meet modern standards and suggest that the developers should prioritize graphical improvements over adding new planes. Overall, the consensus is that the graphics are subpar compared to other flight simulators.
- “Amazing graphics!”
- “The graphics are not the latest state-of-the-art, but you have to consider it is not a mainstream simulator with large sales numbers.”
- “Graphics are weak, but this allows anyone to use it and simulates not seeing the plane well when it gets far away, so it's okay.”
- “When you take off in the highest graphics setting, it is still hard to see your plane; as you barely climb, the plane just becomes pixels.”
- “I still feel that RealFlight is overpriced - its graphics and depth perception are not as good as Aerofly 10, FPV drone simulators, or Wings.”
- “I wish they would invest some development effort into a graphical update, rather than just adding planes.”
