Just bought this game at the end of 2024 and the sim still holds up great ! The only thing that im annoyed is the sound quality of aircraft but its still good considering the price is just 10$. On this game's review i see a lot of people complaining about the optimisation but theres the option of vsync in the game setting , you have to disable to to get full fps. I also had issue of fps but when i turned off this setting it gave me stable 60fps even on my decade old rig (gtx 970 , i5 6500. Definitely worth the price even in 2024/2025.
