The graphics of the game receive high praise for their stunning visuals and realism, often described as some of the best in the FPV simulator genre.

Overall, while the graphics are a major selling point, they can be demanding on system resources, leading to mixed experiences depending on the player's setup.
- “The graphics are incredible, with highly-detailed environments and realistic physics that make the flying experience feel incredibly immersive.”
- “The graphics are stunning, UE5 is tops and I'm stoked they transferred over to it.”
- “The game excels with stunning visuals and engaging gameplay, making it a promising FPV simulator.”
- “Disgusting unreal slop graphics and mid physics, constant glitches and crashes.”
- “Graphics forced on some kind of upscaling making it look pretty awful.”
- “While the world is huge, the performance isn't great and is very distracting with tons of pop-in and poor graphical fidelity.”

Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players experiencing significant performance issues across various hardware configurations, particularly on Mac systems. While some users report decent performance on high-end PCs, others struggle with inconsistent frame rates, stuttering, and graphical pop-ins, even at lower settings. There is a general consensus that further optimization is needed to enhance the gaming experience, especially for those with midrange or lower-end systems.
- “Performance is varying a lot depending on the region and location, but in general, you can get 60-90 fps on modern mid-range hardware on an ultra-high-medium mix and even get some ini tweaks in for a little bit less pop-ins.”
- “Update February 2025: Performance under Proton has improved with newer builds; it now runs without having to fall back to DX11, windowed, and V-Synced.”
- “High level of optimization, the system of incentives for every player, which is motivating (absolutely absent in Uncrashed game sim).”
- “Terrible performance on MacBook Pro M3 Max.”
- “But it's very poorly optimized, at least on big maps, where you always hover around 50 FPS no matter your settings.”
- “Unfortunately, even on ultra settings where I could only hit 30 FPS on a 2080 Ti, there is still a lot of pop-in from foliage and stuttering happening as chunks of the level are being loaded in/deloaded.”

The game's stability is a significant concern, with users reporting frequent glitches, crashes, and graphical issues, particularly on certain hardware like Apple computers. While some players appreciate the game's potential and ongoing development, many find the bugs frustrating, affecting gameplay and user experience. Overall, the game is described as "buggy" but still enjoyable for those willing to tolerate its current state.
- “The team at Tryp FPV found the fix, and now it runs great again.”
- “It runs great on machines that aren't supercomputers too, which is very much appreciated.”
- “Disgusting unreal slop graphics and mid physics, constant glitches and crashes.”
- “Was a great game until I selected something and now the screen just freezes and goes black.”
- “It's still pretty buggy, at least on my 2021 MacBook Air with Apple M1, (e.g. you have to click 'OK' in the dialogue using the mouse otherwise the cursor won't disappear and you couldn't click anything else; learning to fly map looks very much like CS1.6 textures, and one of the tryp mode maps, snow, is blurry; M1/M2 experimental version won't launch; and the discussion section seems mostly unresponded).”
