A technical marvel that brings the whole world to life and the best example of cloud-based gaming so far.
Amazing level of detail on the planes, thousands of handcrafted landmarks as well as a select number of cities, airports and other locations.
Even the procedurally generated aspects look great when viewed from afar - sort of the point in a plane - with the tech making every corner of the world as realistic as possible.
Offers a fantastic sense of exploration and adventure.
Features a good base of side activities beyond simply choosing your own departure and destination.
The use of a controller offers a great level of accessibility.
The learning curve may be steep, but once adapted the feeling is fantastic.

The learning curve may be steep, but once adapted the feeling is fantastic.
Very long loading times, though totally understandable due to what is being loaded.
Tutorials aren't the best, rushing through aspects and not fully teaching you, giving a steel learning curve.
Input devices (keyboard/mouse & Xbox controller) can cause each other to bug at times, if both are used for whatever reason.

It’s really beautiful inside and out.
Modeled cabin with different variants.
It’s handles really well both in the air and on the ground.
Fantastic manual.
It’s basically the perfect aircraft for exploring MSFS’s beautiful rendition of the world.
Good system depth for the price range.
Great performance.

The audio features an adequate base but needs better mixing and integrating.
The default autopilot can be unreliable.
No EFB.
Some liveries feature slightly low-resolution logos.
