Community Consensus
Based on analysis of player reviews
AI Analysis
Multiple reviews consistently mention crashes, installation problems, and technical issues (Performance Issues/Buggy). Many reviews praise the realistic flight simulation and world detail when it works (Immersive World). Several reviews specifically complain about high cost and expensive marketplace content (Overpriced). The deceptive download system that bypasses Steam's refund policy through a launcher is a major recurring complaint across many reviews.
The Verdict
If you're a dedicated aviation enthusiast with a stable, high-end PC and fast internet, this can be a breathtaking simulation experience — but you should go in with eyes open: the deceptive launcher-based install eats through Steam's 2-hour refund window before you even take off, crashes and login issues are widespread, and between the steep base price and expensive marketplace add-ons, it's a costly gamble that's hard to recommend at full price to anyone who isn't already committed to the hobby.
