    • “The graphics are beautiful and the maps all come with fun challenges and races.”

  • optimization
    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting significant performance issues, particularly on larger maps and lower-end hardware.

There is a general consensus that further optimization is needed to enhance the gaming experience across various 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).”
    • “But it's very poorly optimized, at least on big maps, where you always hover around 50fps no matter your settings.”
    • “Way more bugs and the performance is worse than before.”
    • “Unfortunately even on ultra settings where I could only hit 30fps on a 2080ti, there is still a lot of pop-in from foliage and stuttering happening as chunks of the level are being loaded in/deloaded.”
  • music
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received positive feedback for its diverse selection, ranging from soothing tracks for relaxing flights to adrenaline-pumping beats for racing, enhancing the overall immersive experience.

However, some users noted that certain tracks may be inappropriate for younger audiences, indicating a mix of styles that cater to different preferences.

    • “Music choice is great, too, from soothing tracks for relaxing flights to more adrenaline-inducing beats for racing through tight nooks and crannies.”

    • “I don't need sounds, I don't need in-game music, I don't need a fancy menu system.”

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
