The graphics in this FPV simulator are widely praised as stunning and among the best in the genre, with many users highlighting the immersive environments and high-quality visuals that enhance the flying experience. However, some players report performance issues, such as noticeable asset pop-in and graphical glitches, particularly when using lower-end hardware or after updates. Overall, while the graphics are a major selling point, they can be demanding on system resources, and further optimization is desired by some users.
“Great graphics, physics, and a soundtrack to match the immersion of this sim.”
“The graphics are incredible, with highly-detailed environments and realistic physics that make the flying experience feel incredibly immersive.”
“The graphics are beautiful and the maps all come with fun challenges and races.”
“Even at 'ultra' view distance in the graphics settings, the popping in of assets is quite noticeable, especially when flying low to the ground across the game's vast landscapes.”
“The most annoying bug/graphic glitch by far is that the FOV slider messes with the LOD resulting in invisible and low poly terrain that is frankly irritating.”
“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 inconsistent performance and significant frame rate drops, particularly on lower-end hardware. While some users report achieving decent frame rates on midrange systems, others struggle with severe stuttering and pop-in issues, especially at higher settings. There is a consensus that further optimization is needed to enhance performance across various platforms, particularly for Mac users and those attempting to run the game at higher resolutions.
“Performance varies 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.”
“For best performance, I turned video settings to the low preset, then I manually turned texture, view distance quality, and post-processing effects all up to ultra.”
“No stuttering or anything here on 10700k/3080ti/m.2.”
“Attempts to run this game at 100% scale are met with a scary warning telling the player that performance may be lower than expected, along with a drop down to 60fps or lower.”
“Unfortunately, even on ultra settings, I could only hit 30fps on a 2080 Ti, and there is still a lot of pop-in from foliage and stuttering as chunks of the level are being loaded in and unloaded.”
“While the world is huge, the performance isn't great and is very distracting with tons of pop-in and poor graphical fidelity.”

“The music and graphics are great.”
“The devs seem to understand what a difference a good soundtrack collection can make to keep people in the game for longer.”

“I would absolutely love to see the ability to create our own race tracks, as well as race against other people's times, and more music would be welcome too.”
“Need's more places, 3.5" quads, mods, and music.”

The game currently suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent bugs, glitches, and crashes, particularly on Apple computers and high-end systems. While players acknowledge that it is still in development and appreciate the potential, many express frustration over the game's performance and load times. Overall, users recommend caution due to its instability, despite some positive aspects.
“It runs great on machines that aren't supercomputers, which is very much appreciated.”
“The game maintains a steady frame rate even during intense action sequences.”
“I've experienced minimal bugs, making for a smooth and enjoyable gameplay experience.”
“While it currently has some bugs and glitches, including unexpected crashes and unusual map interactions, it's important to note that the game is still in development.”
“There are definitely glitches such as ending up under the map from a crash.”
“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).”
