“Graphics state 'fantastic' on the setting bar.”
“Not much effort has gone into the graphics; they're pretty poor, really.”
“The graphics on 'fantastic' are terrible, and despite having a decent computer with an excellent GPU, there were times I got 15 FPS when a plane takes off.”
“The AI is rubbish, the visuals are from 10 years ago; the SP1 was released 3 weeks ago, but not on Steam.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many users expressing disappointment due to its lack of depth and engagement, often becoming boring after just a few hours. While the mechanics are praised for their realism, the game is criticized for being "unplayable" and lacking essential features, such as comprehensive air traffic control roles. Overall, players feel the game does not justify its price, suggesting it would be more acceptable at a lower cost.
“The mechanics of this simulator are pretty spot on; it's more realistic and much less 'gamey' than others I have used.”
“Pros: promising mechanics, aircraft behave more or less as they should when commanded.”
“Then I looked at some of the gameplay on YouTube and decided to give it a go.”
“I was disappointed to see that over 2/3 of the reviews for the product are bad because it is a good game, but they are fairly accurate. I am beginning to agree with them, at least with the fact that the game gets boring after a very short amount of time (about 3-4 hours) because there is basically no gameplay. The company doesn't have very good customer support, expecting people to pay the entire price to purchase a different edition of the same game rather than allowing them to purchase an upgrade.”
“Complete waste of money, the game is 'unplayable' in the current state - by which I mean that the game doesn't offer almost any gameplay at all.”
“Only the ground controller role is simulated; there's no tower, approach, or departure gameplay.”
