The graphics in the game are generally considered decent, with some users praising the cockpit visuals as crisp and smooth. However, many reviewers noted that the overall graphics need significant improvement, particularly in areas like Manhattan Island, where they appear unfinished and glitchy. While there is potential, the graphics currently fall short of the refinement seen in similar titles.
“First, let me give credit where credit is due--from the start of the game, the graphics were great!”
“The cockpit graphics are crisp, clear, and very smooth.”
“The graphics are promising and primitive at the same time, but the flying area seems pretty extensive.”
“I think that they should improve the graphics of the surface and the bridges are quite glitchy.”
“The graphics are decent but could be a little better; hopefully, they will improve.”

The music in the game is a point of frustration for users, as there are no settings available to disable it or adjust audio preferences. This lack of customization detracts from the overall experience, particularly for those who prefer to play without background music.
“No settings so you can't connect to joysticks, yokes, etc. You even can't get rid of the music.”

The game's stability is marked by several frustrating bugs, including frequent view freezes and unexpected pauses that disrupt gameplay. While there is potential for improvement, these issues significantly hinder the overall experience.
“It has a lot of room for improvement and a few really annoying bugs, such as it often freezing the view for a second, showing the game title, and then resuming play. Additionally, it pauses at certain points—seemingly by design—with a menu asking if you want to keep flying or not. These bugs interrupt the flow and can be irritating.”
“The game suffers from several stability issues, including frequent freezes and unexpected pauses that disrupt gameplay. These interruptions can be quite frustrating and detract from the overall experience.”
“There are numerous stability problems that need addressing, as the game often freezes or pauses unexpectedly, which can break immersion and lead to a less enjoyable experience.”
