Does anyone here like flight simulators? Has anyone here tried Microsoft's new Flight Simulator 2020? I bought it when it came out. I've seen some
I've been playing with Flight Simulator since FS4, on a 386 if I remember correctly.
I'd give FS2020 a try but seems like you really need a good setup to have it run smoothly. Not ready to drop a few hundred dollars on a new graphics card...
Apparently you can use it with Vatsim and talk to real people who'll do air traffic control for you. Never tried it. I believe this has been available in previous versions of Flight Simulator as well.
The graphics look phenomenal though. Not sure about the realism though. Seems pretty realistic to me!

Not quite... It's purpose is only to track your head movement. If you Google TrackIR you'll see what I mean. Probably a much cheaper alternative than going with a full-blown VR headset.
