  • Highly realistic flight physics and controls that closely match real RC planes and helicopters, helping build muscle memory and confidence.
  • Great training tool for beginners to learn flying basics and practice without the risk and cost of damaging real models.
  • Works well with various real RC transmitters (especially Spektrum) via USB or wireless dongles, allowing true-to-life control experience.
  • Limited content in the trainer edition including few aircraft, only a couple of airfields, and lack of advanced features like wind simulation or FPV.
  • Graphics are outdated, low resolution, and can cause visibility issues; the UI and menus are sometimes clunky or unintuitive.
  • Problems with controller recognition and setup, especially with non-Spektrum transmitters, and occasional crashes or freezes reported.

    The graphics in the simulator are generally considered subpar, with users noting issues such as poor visibility of aircraft at distance, limited field of view, and a lack of modern visual quality. While some appreciate that the simpler graphics aid accessibility and simulate real-life challenges, many feel an update is needed to attract new players and improve the overall experience.

    • “Worth it and they finally fixed the graphics.”
    • “Amazing graphics!”
    • “The graphics are not state-of-the-art, but considering it is not a mainstream simulator with large sales numbers, they are acceptable.”
    • “Great sim but one thing they need to work on is graphics to attract new players. The field of view needs work as 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 looking for games on Steam, the graphics need a lot of work.”
    • “And when you take off in the highest graphics setting, it is still hard to see your plane. When you take off and barely climb, the plane just becomes pixels.”
    • “Graphics are worse than my 2001 flight simulator.”
  • optimization

    The optimization of the game improves significantly once properly configured for your computer, delivering realistic model performance. The 1.5 update enhanced performance further while adding variable weather, 3D scenery, and FPV features.

    • “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 is praised for its easy controls, smooth experience, and distinct plane variations, offering enjoyable challenges and helpful training videos.

    • “Very easy connection and controls, smooth gameplay, accurate variation and differences between planes, nice challenges, and helpful training videos.”
  • monetization

    The monetization aspect primarily revolves around advertising new models and features, such as the safe mode and its usage, rather than aggressive in-game purchases. This approach focuses on promoting additional content in a subtle and informative manner.
