And if you're looking for something slightly less a sim and more of a game, but still spiritually in the genre of "serious play" (especially with enough realism mods), I raise you... Kerbal Space Program. https://www.kerbalspaceprogram.com/ https://www.kerbalspaceprogram.com/

  Didn't KSP have some issue with invasive tracking/analytics a couple of months ago?

    I don't know. I had a 2+ year break from it until couple months ago; when first launching after the break, it showed me a consent popup... which I happily declined. Thank you, GDPR.

    When KSP got bought by Take2 they put their privacy policy they use for all the games they publish on it. As far as I know KSP never did the tracking/analytics and considering how bad the reaction to the new privacy policy was I doubt that they'll start now.

  And if you're looking for Kerbal Space Program, but in 2D and on your phone (and darn good), then there's Spaceflight Simulator. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.StefMorojna.SpaceflightSimulator&hl=en_GB https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.StefMorojn... https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/spaceflight-simulator/id1308057272 https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/spaceflight-simulator/id130805...
