  • Very realistic flight physics and aircraft behavior that closely match real RC models.
  • Excellent training tool for beginners to build confidence, muscle memory, and learn controls before flying real planes.
  • Supports using actual RC transmitters with USB dongles providing an authentic flying experience.
  • Limited number of planes, helicopters, and airfields in the Trainer Edition with many locked behind flight time requirements.
  • Outdated graphics with low resolution, pixelated models, and lack of modern visual features such as FPV and dynamic environments.
  • Steep price for the limited content and features; many users recommend purchasing the full version for a better experience.
  • graphics
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users agree the graphics in this simulator are generally outdated and need significant improvement, especially regarding field of view and visibility of aircraft at a distance. While some appreciate that the simpler graphics make the sim accessible and somewhat realistic for training, many feel it detracts from attracting new players and pales compared to more advanced flight sims. Overall, the graphics are seen as a weak point that limits the game's appeal.

    • “Worth it and they fixed the graphics finally.”
    • “Amazing graphics!”
    • “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 ok.”
    • “Great sim but the graphics need a lot of work to attract new players; field of view needs improvement as some helicopters get lost on screen, which wouldn't happen in real life.”
    • “When you take off on the highest graphics setting, it's still hard to see your plane; as you climb, the plane just becomes pixels.”
    • “Graphics are worse than my 2001 flight simulator.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers good optimization that, once properly configured for your computer, delivers realistic model performance and improved stability. Update 1.5 notably enhanced performance further with added features like variable weather and 3D scenery.

    • “A great tool for learning, and for the likes of me, getting back into the hobby from an absence of three years, once set up correctly for your computer, to get the best performance.”
    • “Edit: update 1.5 brought variable sun, wind, 3D scenery, and FPV, as well as greatly improved performance.”
    • “We fly the models that are available, and their performance is similar to reality.”
    • “Static weather and the same three planes that provide zero difference in performance.”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is praised for its easy connectivity and smooth controls, offering accurate and varied plane mechanics. It provides engaging challenges and helpful training videos that enhance the overall experience.

    • “Very easy connect and controls, smooth gameplay, accurate variation and difference between planes, nice challenges, nice training videos and more...”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization primarily revolves around promoting new models through in-app advertising, including features like a safe mode tutorial. This approach is integrated into the user experience rather than aggressive monetization tactics.

  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration with grinding, especially when it involves paying additional high costs for upgrades, which may lead them to reconsider continuing.
