The graphics in this simulator are widely praised for their realism and stunning quality, often described as the best in the FPV drone simulation genre. Players appreciate the detailed environments, smooth performance, and immersive visuals that enhance the flying experience. While some mention minor issues with physics or optimization, the overall consensus is that the graphics significantly elevate the game's appeal.
“Best sim by a long way in my opinion... 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 has good graphics, performance, and decent physics.”
“This is why Velocidrone has potato graphics, but this 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.”
“Whole changing the graphic settings, I did not see much improvement in FPS; it was always from 40-60 and I would prefer it to run a bit smoother.”

Overall, the optimization of the simulator is generally praised, with many users reporting excellent performance and graphics, especially on high-end systems. However, some players experience performance issues on lower-end hardware, indicating that while the game is polished and visually impressive, it may not be fully optimized for all configurations. Users recommend training extensively in the simulator to achieve the best results when transitioning to real-world drone operation.
“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.”

“I'm a novice in FPV and here's what I think after a few hours of gameplay.”
“I liked setting up the visual aspect of the quads in other sims, but I also like the focus this implies on the overall gameplay.”
