However, I have very little hopes for this revival. How complex can a sim be that is being released on the Shitbox? Right.
That's it in a nutshell. If it's a console game it won't be a proper sim. Visuals are impressive though.
Lots of flight sims have an "instant action" mode as well as a "sim" mode. I imagine XBox users would tend toward the former while we HOTAS-owning PC grognards will play the latter.
Combine something like this with VR, and you have flight sim Nirvana.
I didn't see any combat jets though. Throw me an F-18 and let me practice carrier landings.![]()
The one and only F-18 sim that anyone will ever need:

Yeah, I'm saving up for the F-14 module.![]()
But I'd also like a single sim that would let me practice my 737 MAX takeoffs with MCAS enabled, as well as my carrier landings.![]()
Haha OK, in that case you need to buy prepar3d v4.5 64-bit and wait for iFly to finish their 737 MAX (first half of 2020). Then grab this F-18 from VRS and have at it!![]()
