The graphics in this simulator are widely praised as stunning and realistic, often described as the best in the FPV drone simulation genre. Users appreciate the high-quality textures, immersive environments, and smooth performance, which enhance the overall flying experience. While some mention minor optimization issues, the consensus is that the visuals significantly elevate the gameplay, making it enjoyable for both beginners and experienced pilots alike.
“Best sim by a long way imo... very realistic and the graphics are second to none.”
“From the outset, the game impresses with its incredibly realistic graphics, immersing players in a visually stunning virtual world that perfectly captures the thrill of drone flying.”
“This simulator works great for me, the graphics are so good, just like you are not using a simulator, it feels like you are using a real FPV drone.”
“This is why Velocidrone has potato graphics, but this one is one of the most recommended sims on the market.”
“But that's also the downfall of the game; it's basically an Unreal Engine content flip, where a few maps for the marketplace have been slightly adjusted with some logos - so they get all the niceness of great looks from Unreal Engine, but they aren't really great maps for the game as that's not what they were designed for, and they don't have a cohesive art style.”
“Returned mainly because as much as I love the landscapes and giant maps with decent graphics, I'll stick to Liftoff or Velocidrone for my needs.”

Overall, the optimization of the simulator receives mixed reviews. While many users praise its performance and graphics, noting that it runs well on high-end systems with impressive frame rates, others report that it struggles on lower-end hardware, indicating a lack of optimization for a broader range of PCs. Despite these issues, the user experience and visuals are generally considered polished and well-executed.
“For that alone this gets a positive review from me, but even without it, it's actually by far the most polished sim out there when it comes to user experience and visuals, and performance is amazing as well. I maxed out everything and had both perfect visuals and perfect framerate.”
“I could see this being a possible performance issue for some users, but running at 2k resolution with everything maxed out, I'm at a consistent 140+ fps and the game looks better than some AAA games currently out there.”
“The game just feels very well optimized.”
“- not optimized at all, even good PCs struggle at times”
“I could see this being a possible performance issue for some users, but running at 2K resolution with everything maxed out, I'm at a consistent 140+ fps and the game looks better than some AAA games currently out there.”
