The graphics are generally praised for their initial appeal and clarity, particularly in the cockpit, but many users feel they fall short compared to more refined titles like AE2. While the overall aesthetic is considered decent, there are notable issues with unfinished elements, especially in specific areas like Manhattan Island, and glitches in surface details and bridges. Users express hope for future improvements and the addition of customizable graphics settings.
“First, let me give credit where credit is due--from the start of the game, the graphics were great!”
“Well, anyway ten dollars is not too high a price to pay to 'sit' in the cockpit and marvel at the great graphics.”
“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; they could be a little better, hopefully they will improve.”

“There are no settings to connect joysticks or yokes, and you can't even turn off the music.”
“The music is repetitive and becomes annoying after a short while.”
“The soundtrack lacks variety and fails to enhance the gaming experience.”

The game's stability is criticized for having several annoying bugs, including brief freezes and intentional pauses that disrupt gameplay. Users feel there is significant room for improvement in this area, as these issues can be quite irritating.
“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 frequent crashes and stability issues that make it frustrating to play. I often find myself losing progress due to unexpected shutdowns.”
“There are numerous glitches that disrupt gameplay, including random freezes and lag spikes that can last several seconds. This makes it hard to enjoy the experience.”
