Acceleration is one of the biggest Roblox Flight Simulators at the moment, but at 400 Robux is it worth the price?

Acceleration is the latest game by Atmosphere Studios, the group behind the highly successful Roblox flight simulator 'Velocity' and they've seemed to have taken a very different approach to their new game. Both are highly polished and honestly very realistic for Roblox flight simulators but there are some very big differences between the games that need to be addressed.

The Main Menu for Velocity is pretty minimalist, showing you all of the aircraft that you can play with as well as a few limited settings. The game has not been updated since the removal of aircraft liveries due to Roblox copyright, meaning that overtime the game seems to be loosing content overtime.
Acceleration meanwhile has a huge array of features with many items in the settings being customisation. The game also features 3 different modes ranging from Arcade to Realistic to suit different players play styles. It must be noted though that many of the features such as 'ATC Mode' and many aspects of the Previous Flight Logs have yet to be implemented.
Velocity will no longer be updated so what you buy is all you are going to get.

Due to recent copyright issues, some content has also started to be removed from the game.

Acceleration is Atmosphere's latest game and will likely continue to receive new updates for a long time to come.

The aircraft in both games also handle very differently, with Velocity having a smoother and more satisfying feel to the aircraft with seemingly no resistance to control surfaces and the aircraft seeming having more weight whilst in Acceleration, the aircraft will replicate air resistance on many of the control surfaces (especially the rudder) but can often make aircraft frustrating to fly until you get used to it.

Velocity contains 8 different aircraft although with many of the aircraft like the Airbus A320 and the Boeing B737-700, Once you are in game it becomes very difficult to find any differences between them at all.
When you first start Acceleration, one of the first things you will realise is that you cannot yet fly any commercial aircraft and instead are limited to a single engine propeller aircraft and a glider. The rest of the aircraft have to be unlocked as you fly.
One of the biggest changes between the two games is the inclusion of 'Golden Falcons', an in-game currency that requires you to spend Robux on to attain. This is important as some aspects of the game like aircraft can only be brought with Golden Falcons. For example if you wish to fly the Eurofighter Typhoon you will have to spend 999R on 3000 Golden Falcons.

The maps for both games are also pretty different, with Velocity having only a few small islands located over huge expanses of water, and this can lead to some pretty dull flights. The airports themselves are pretty detailed and are based on real life airports like Princess Juliana International Airport.

Acceleration's map is based off of a single large island with several large airports around it. Many of the airports are very bare with little detail, but it is being updated all the time, and at the time of writing, Gatwick Airport has just been added with painstaking detail been put in recreating the entire airport.

Velocity, although a lot cheaper, has only a fraction if the features and is no longer even supported by its creators. This game was one of the most groundbreaking games in the Roblox Aviation community due to its realistic control scheme and beautifully designed graphics and menus, but now it has been replaced by it's little brother and looks set to be made completely redundant once the high 'pre-alpha price tag' is lowered and more features are added.
If you have a budget then you can't go wrong with this game, but compared to the latest game it looks to be soon left in the dust.
Acceleration is four times more expensive than Velocity, but even in its early stage of development there is already a plethora of additional features that the game already has over it's big brother and after a little practise to get used to the controls I can say that it definitely feels more realistic.
Acceleration's 'Golden Falcons' look set to make this already expensive game turn into a cash grab though, but the content already available through the game already has a good few hours of playtime without DLC and it hasn't even left pre-alpha.
