The gameplay of this flight simulator is generally praised for its realism, smooth controls, and impressive graphics, making it enjoyable for both new and experienced players. However, many users express frustration over limited aircraft options for non-subscribers, server stability issues in multiplayer mode, and a lack of tutorials for beginners. Suggestions for improvement include adding more free planes, enhancing realism in various aspects, and addressing connectivity problems to enhance the overall experience.
“The gameplay is really good, I have a couple of issues with it, I am not able to switch to passenger view, and also I am not able to switch to landing gear view, rather than those issues every detail is precisely given inside the cockpit, as a pilot you have to look at each and everything in the cockpit, so hats off to those details.”
“It's unbelievable how they've managed to make such a good flight simulator in terms of gameplay, graphics, usability, details and put it in a phone app as well as so close to the real world.”
“The graphics and gameplay are awesome but please give us at least 8 free aircraft as free.”
“Just when the gameplay starts, it crashes.”
“There is just a few problems; there isn't much to do except flying... I love the gameplay and its graphics but unfortunately there isn't much to do in the game... also the number of planes are limited (especially if you have not subscribed) and it would be pretty awesome if, let's say, fighter jets were added as well.”
“The gameplay is too limited for people that don't have money to get the pro version and we only have 3 aircraft we can use.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the prevalence of in-app purchases and subscription fees, which they feel restrict access to content despite having already paid for the game. Suggestions for improvement include offering more free content, allowing players to unlock features through ads, and reducing the cost of the pro version. While some appreciate the absence of ads, the overall sentiment leans towards the game being a "cash grab" due to its high costs and limited free options.
“I have no problem supporting the developers with a one-time in-game purchase as they have made an incredible simulator already.”
“A version for $5.99 or so with more aircraft plus in-app purchases for extra regions and aircraft would be fine.”
“It is such a realistic flight simulator; I also love it because it has no ads, a big selection of planes, and helpful features like navigation.”
“The game's pretty good, but the cash grab can be seen clearly.”
“It is disappointing that a costly game has in-app purchases. The game is polished, but you gotta make this free and then litter it with microtransactions. If not, then remove all microtransactions because we have paid a heavy fee for this app.”
“Even if you have purchased the game, you only get 3 small planes, and there are expensive in-app purchases to unlock larger airplanes.”

The story aspect of the game is largely criticized for its lack of missions and tutorials, leaving players feeling lost and unengaged. Many users express a desire for a structured narrative or career mode that would provide a sense of progression and purpose, such as completing passenger flights or unlocking new aircraft. Overall, the absence of a compelling storyline and clear objectives detracts from the gaming experience, making it feel aimless and frustrating for both new and experienced players.
“I really like the game, but there are so many things for the pro version that I can't really enjoy it as much as I would like to. More available modes like story mode or campaign would enhance the experience.”
“The simulation was awesome, but I think including missions, like carrying passengers and boarding simulation, would make it even better.”
“I love this game so much, but I need to suggest an update for the game. It is missing missions to add passion to the gameplay, and it also needs new airports.”
“This game is a piece of junk. The game is already paid, and you have to even buy a monthly subscription. It's a money grab, and the user interface is so difficult that you need to do thousands of things just to start a mission. The controls are bad and cover the whole screen. Overall, this game is not worth playing.”
“There is no mission or vision for the game. After landing, there's nowhere to go, and we get nothing in return—no coins, nothing. It's simply wasted money for the subscription.”
“I love this game so much, but it desperately needs missions to add passion to the gameplay. It also needs new airports to enhance the experience.”

Despite these concerns, the game is generally regarded as well-optimized for a flight simulator, with a strong recommendation for its performance and graphics.

“Whatever you guys have done to your Rortos engine is genius and clearly well optimized.”
“Also, the performance is a bit lacking.”

The humor in the game is described as a mix of amusing and frustrating moments, such as the absurdity of emergency vehicles driving on water and the unexpected crash notifications during landings. Players appreciate the comedic elements, particularly in the context of small planes, while also expressing a desire for improvements in gameplay mechanics. Overall, the humor adds a lighthearted touch to the gaming experience.
“But one thing that is very irritating, as well as funny, is that after you emergency land on water, if you choose emergency, boom! Ambulances and fire trucks can be driven on water!”
“Overall, this is a great game! By the way, I followed your Instagram and subscribed to your YouTube channel, Rortos and RFS multiplayer. I find your videos very funny! :-)”
“One of the best games out there; funny small planes! 😂”
“I like it, but why does it say I crashed when I'm about to touch the ground? I've touched it, and now it's saying I have crashed. Are you playing a trick on me? That's not funny; please fix that.”
“The jokes in this game feel forced and often miss the mark, making it more cringeworthy than humorous.”
“I expected some clever humor, but instead, I got a lot of tired clichés that just fell flat.”

Users express disappointment in the emotional engagement of the game, citing technical issues and a lack of immersive features that detract from their experience. The absence of progression and meaningful interactions, despite good graphics and speed, has led to a waning interest and feelings of dissatisfaction, particularly given the price paid.
“From that moment on, the whole emotional interest I had in this game waned.”
“I paid 29, but the premium feature is not unlocked. I deem that 29 is the full package because there is no promotion from pilot to co-pilot to chief, etc. There is no encouragement. It feels like a full paid game up to ₹1000, not only ₹29. No doubt about the graphics and speed; it is extremely heart-touching, but something is insufficient in interest.”

The game's replayability is generally viewed as limited, with many players noting that it can only be enjoyed a few times due to a lack of variety in aircraft and airports. While some users express a desire for more playable planes to enhance the experience, others still find the game enjoyable enough to consider purchasing additional content. Overall, the potential for replayability is hindered by the game's current content offerings.
“The game is incredible, but I could've rated it 1 more star if there were more playable planes. I'm tired of flying the A320. Edit: changed to 5 stars, definitely going to purchase the pro if I have the money.”
“Uhm, 4 out of 5 because there are only 3 playable planes, so please add more playable planes.”

“No offense, but games like Infinite Flight have really great graphics. Even without clouds or 3D buildings, they create a good atmosphere of the Earth; it looks round.”
