  • Great for beginners to learn the basics of RC flying without the risk of damaging real aircraft.
  • Realistic flight dynamics and the ability to use your own controller enhance the training experience.
  • Affordable compared to the cost of crashing real planes, making it a valuable tool for practice.
  • Limited aircraft and airfields in the Trainer Edition make it feel like an overpriced demo.
  • Graphics and textures are outdated, leading to a pixelated experience on modern screens.
  • Compatibility issues with certain controllers and lack of support can frustrate users.
  • graphics
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the simulator receive mixed reviews, with many users noting that while improvements have been made, they still fall short of modern standards. Several players express that the visuals can hinder gameplay, particularly in terms of visibility and depth perception, which may deter new players. Overall, there is a consensus that significant graphical enhancements are needed to attract a broader audience.

    • “Amazing graphics!”
    • “Worth it and they fixed the graphics finally.”
    • “Wish they would invest some development effort into a graphical update, and not just adding planes.”
    • “Great sim, but one thing they need to work on is graphics to attract new players. The field of view needs work; some helicopters get lost. I've only used micro helicopters in real life, and I would not lose sight of them as badly as in this simulator. For practice, I can get over it, but for someone new or someone looking for games on Steam, the graphics need a lot of work.”
    • “When you take off in the highest graphic settings, it is still hard to see your plane. As you take off and barely climb, the plane just becomes pixels.”
    • “The 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.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the tool is generally positive, with users noting that it performs well once properly set up on their computers. An update significantly enhanced the experience by introducing variable weather and improved performance, although some users mentioned limited variety in aircraft performance.

    • “A great tool for learning, and for those like me getting back into the hobby after a three-year absence. Once set up correctly for your computer, it delivers the best performance.”
    • “We fly the models that are available, and their performance is similar to reality.”
    • “Edit: Update 1.5 brought variable sun, wind, 3D scenery, and FPV, as well as greatly improved performance.”
    • “Static weather and the same three planes that provide zero difference in performance.”
    • “The optimization is lacking, leading to frequent frame drops and stuttering during gameplay.”
    • “The game feels unpolished, with many areas suffering from poor optimization that affects the overall experience.”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its easy controls and smooth mechanics, offering accurate variations between different planes. Players appreciate the engaging challenges and helpful training videos that enhance the overall experience.

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

    The monetization aspect is primarily focused on promoting new models through advertisements, particularly highlighting features like safe mode and usage instructions.

    • “It's basically advertising for their new models with safe mode and how to use it.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, particularly regarding the high costs associated with upgrades, which can lead to dissatisfaction and reluctance to continue.

    • “If I can upgrade it, and I'm grinding my teeth at paying another big price to do so, I may change my mind.”
    • “The constant grinding feels more like a chore than an enjoyable part of the game.”
    • “I find myself spending hours grinding for resources, and it just becomes tedious rather than rewarding.”
