Microsoft Flight Simulator

Fun to travel to your house, maybe a friends house but the magic gets pretty old.
Flying different planes helps the game from getting old but man is this game beautiful.
I'd only suggest it if you wanna become a pilot or you wanna listen to music while zoning out while thinking about the one that got away or broke your heart. LMAO
No one will ever read this review. It's an alright game/sim.

If you're someone who has an interest in aviation, this game is totally worth it. I have been playing non-stop, however here are some tips:
- Make sure to buy a sidestick or yoke controller with it, doesn't have to be expensive just anything as a beginner as it is extremely difficult using a keyboard and it's not immersive. There's no need for one of those fancy throttles and stuff at the beginning, the cheapest sidestick works.
- Make sure to have a lot of storage, it takes a long time to get it started
- Just buy the standard version, the rest is quite useless as it's just extra planes that you can get for free as mods
And just a little bonus tip to make it more fun:
Get Volanta and track all your flights, it keeps me going being able to see all of my flights around the globe. Try to get custom liveries of real airlines and pretend to fly them and their routes, it's amazing and gives you a goal!

Backstory: In 1987, I began using MS Flight sim on an amber-screened IBM clone. It took several 'disks' to load, and I'd go make coffee and drink the majority of it before it was loaded and ready to play. In retrospect, it was simply atrocious. It had no graphics, ran at less than 5 frames per second, and took input from the keyboard. In a nutshell, it was like flying a very stubborn turkey.
But I was sucked in. "One day, I thought, this will be real. One day, places will appear as they do in the real world. One day, planes will actually feel like planes, rather than just an illusion of something clearly tortured on a screen.
'One day,' 37 years later, has arrived.
I can find minor flaws in this game, such as the fact that the frame rate is inconsistent and slows significantly around densely populated areas, or that the drone camera system is somewhat cumbersome, and flight planning could be a lot more user friendly when adding or re-ordering waypoints. However, these are minor issues. And, while I'm sure they'll be fixed, I could live with the game as is because everything else is so far ahead of anything else I've ever seen. It's not just good; it's phenomenal.
I've been a hopeless pilot for years, doing my best and still failing miserably. However, this simulator is a quantum leap beyond the previous ones. When realism is set to maximum, I can land every time without crashing. The simulation of flight systems and avionics has vastly improved, making hand flying aircraft far easier than in previous iterations. It feels like you're flying a real plane, not a simulation. Flying over your hometown gives you the impression that you are actually there. (And no, the house you're flying into is nothing like your actual home. It could even be mine.)
Sometimes a product comes along that completely changes the genre. This will forever alter flight simulation. This is revolutionary.
So seeing this delivered before I get to go to that big refrigerator in the sky makes me ecstatic. It gives me great pleasure to say, "It's finally here, and it's better than I could have imagined possible."
I'm not going to complain about anything when I can fly anywhere in a faithfully recreated virtual copy of the world for $60. Fly over a location and exclaim, "This looks exactly like it does in real life!" What an ungrateful person I would be. If I complained about the hours and hours it took to download when, at the end of it, the entire world exists on a small setup in the corner of my living room. Some people, to be honest.
Today I am a very happy gamer. This day was bound to come. It did, and it's mind-boggling.

Makes the fans on my graphics card sound like a jet engine, but I guess that's the point.

I love this game but remember when you're uninstalling it to go to your %appdata% and delete the files that's in there too... literally 100gb+ of data in there that doesn't get uninstalled.

I am an ex-pilot and can no longer pass the physical. This is as close as I can get to actually flying.
