The graphics of the game have received largely negative feedback, with many users describing them as bland, simple, and lacking immersion. While some players noted that adjusting settings can improve the visuals, the overall impression is that the graphics do not match promotional materials and fail to enhance the gaming experience. Comparatively, they are considered better than some other titles, but still fall short of expectations.
“Once you adjust your graphics settings, the game is pretty impressive.”
“Graphics are not quite what they are in the pictures.”
“The graphics, flight models, and missions are all very bland, lacking immersion, and meaning all the planes (which can take a while to unlock) have the same flight characteristics.”
“The screenshots and videos are completely inaccurate compared to the actual game graphics.”
“The graphics are better than Airport Madness 3D but are still very simple, which makes the game run smoothly on old PCs too.”

The story aspect of the game is minimal, primarily revolving around a series of missions that lack depth and immersion, with many players finding the overall narrative bland. While the game offers a relaxed experience through normal flights and AI assistance, the missions can vary in difficulty, providing some challenge but ultimately failing to create a compelling storyline. Overall, the narrative feels secondary to the flight simulation mechanics, which may disappoint those seeking a rich story experience.
“Also, you can do normal flights with all the aircraft between several international airports, allowing the AI to complete the trips or doing takeoffs and landings yourself - this is a super easy way to earn cash and means you do not need to ace the missions, making the game pretty chill actually.”
“The graphics, flight models, and missions are all very bland, lacking immersion and meaning, making all the planes (which can take a while to unlock) have the same flight characteristics.”
“It's doesn't take many missions to get a bit more complicated though, especially the landings after a 10-minute 'guided' flight, which isn't always an easy task.”
“Players who excel at flight games could very well finish takeoff in about seven hours, but it took me a smidge under nine due to a couple of irritating missions.”
