Any recommendation for a flight sim? Always been interested, I think we owned a copy of the MS flight sim back in the 90s, never played as an adult.

- MrMember 8y agoThe civilian flight sim market is a bit thin these days unfortunately. X-Plane is quite good and gets a lot of developer support. It also runs on Linux! Flight Simulator X is more than a decade old but it's still decent and has an unbelievably large third party library of aircraft, scenery, and other add-ons. The Lockheed Martin developed Prepar3d is an attempt to update the FSX code base and by all accounts is quite good but i haven't tried it myself. A proper flight sim isn't much fun without at least a stick and it's worth buying one even if it's cheap and doesn't have a throttle.
- TylerE 8y agoPrepar3d has really come a long way, and IMO is the best of the bunch these days. Starting with v4 it's even a proper multi-threaded 64bit application which solves a _lot_ of issues (Run ALL the addons...)
