Not all players are enjoying the new flight simulator.

Recently, Gaijin Entertainment, known for the free-to-play War Thunder, introduced a new aviation project, Aces of Thunder.

This flight simulator supports both VR and non-VR gameplay modes:

Experience new sensations from aerial combat in Aces of Thunder! This flight simulator game with VR support will delight you with magnificent graphics optimized for advanced virtual reality headsets and unique immersion. The game was created specifically to take advantage of the capabilities of the latest-generation VR headsets, and also includes a "flat screen" mode for fans of aircraft simulators on PC.

The first reviews for Aces of Thunder on Steam are "Mixed" (51% positive): some VR fans complain about the lack of cockpit interactivity; users also note the low graphics quality; the small amount of content; the menu and controls are called "bad," and the game itself is called "a paid mod for War Thunder."

However, there are also satisfied players who are generally happy with the game, and describe the graphics as "almost 1:1 [War Thunder]."
