The verdict
A realistic, relaxing paragliding and soaring sim with fly-anywhere Google Earth scenery and a responsive dev. Skip it if you want polished graphics, joystick support, or fast action, or if VR makes you sick.
Great for
Real paragliding or hang gliding pilots and VR fans who want a relaxing, realistic soaring sim
Main risk
Limited controls and binding options, plus VR motion sickness and dated graphics
What players love
Great practice tool for real pilots
