wishing Microsoft the best but it really is a niche market - for one, there are so many aircraft controls that you really do need some specialized controllers (yoke) to make it enjoyable experience. Other factors include rather mundane experience of flying aircraft (from general gamer point of view) as well as the resource hungry requirements (OK, not so much these days but it was quiet expensive game to run back in the days).
- wrsh07 7y agoThis is true, but GamePass makes this somewhat interesting. It's sort of like Netflix buying a high production value show that serves a limited audience. People with GamePass will get to try it, and people in the niche might get GamePass just because of it (and then have access to a number of other sim-style games, including Forza 4)
- Stevvo 7y agoYou can fly Cessna in X-Plane perfectly fine with nothing but an Xbox controller; left stick is your yoke, right stick for look around, triggers for rudder, bumpers for brakes, the four primary buttons for flaps and throttle, and the 4 cross buttons for trim. Other controls you can use the mouse for in 3D cockpit as you will use them sporadically (eg lights, adjusting instruments, mixture, carb heat)
