Holy shit I love having this game on and just running airplanes on autopiot and watching the airplane go over the world. I did a flight from Canada to Mexico yesterday during my work shift. It's on my laptop kinda as a screensaver right now.

I'm curious about this, too. I know earlier versions patched out spectacular fireballs due to 9/11, but maybe it's been brought back.

I really like the idea of MS flight simulator, but it seems a bit... boring? Maybe thats the point - it seems like one of those meditative sort of games.

That said, from all the shots and videos Ive seen it looks freaking beautiful.

its more for people that enjoy games like truckdriver simulator or elite dangerous.

I dont believe so. If you crash it goes to a black screen where you restart. If you have that turned off the plane doesn't blow up or cause any external damage to the plane and definitely not to the building. Which... well I think its a good thing.

they only did it because of optics and media exposure. its not like the 9/11 terrorists really cared about the little game explosion at the end. they used flight simulators to plan their routs.

I had hundreds of hours on it maybe ten years ago and could pass the Check Ride.

When I eventually took a lesson later on pretty much everythjng translated perfectly to the real world.

The pilot who flew with me was taking me through some of his practice drills where you smoothly roll out of a turn at an exact heading and altitude. Pretty much everything but land since you have to be certified for that.

MS Flight Sim is an excellent product.

Thanks for reminding me how old I am. ;0

There was some old stock car racing sim too. Not sure if it was MS. I recall that being fun too. Got lots of use out of sticks and other unique controllers back then.

I did that once when there was a hurricane in, I think, South Carolina. But instead of flying, I just spawned a light WWI recon plane. It was cool to see the wind alone gently making the plane hope on the tarmac.

As someone almost finished with my real pilot license I'm thinking about building a new PC just for this game.

Renting a Cessna 152 is at least $100/hr at the local FBO so I could use this game to keep my skills somewhat sharp.

How would that even be possible? You would think that a keyboard would be a bare minimum requirement due to all the switches and knobs in a real cockpit. I guess they could do a stripped down version with lower graphics and less detailed realism.

I got the game on Game Pass, enjoyed it so much that I bought the fucking Premium Deluxe version so I can have all the airplanes and airports.

I'm a mess! lol

(I'm taking off from an island in the morning, and I'm watching the sunrise while flying back to main land, this game is fucking BEAUTIFUL.)

What's wrong with living in basements?

I find them to have very good natural insulation. Stays warm in winter, cool in summer. Kinda sucks when it rains though.
