Severe bloat to its engine from 20 years of older versions means that even modern top of the line computers will struggle to consistently deliver good framerate. ...and that's before you add mods.

Delves way too far into casual territory; this makes Crimson Skies feel like a simulator.

Just say no.

A terrible flight model combined with F2P monetization. Stay away and play real sims.

It's like War Thunder as a complete game rather than an awful, incomplete, and hardly-working service. A bit overpriced, but get it on sale.

The hardcore sim poised to replace MSFS thanks to the disaster that was Flight and the prohibitive price of Prepar3d.

The classic space shooter, and the basis for some amazing mods. I especially recommend Diaspora, a total conversion to BSG.

A great game that explores a more visceral era often neglected by flight sims. Excellent flight model.

The new Il-2 title features vast improvements in polish and simulation thanks to its more limited scope on the early Eastern Front.

It lacks the relative polish of the Arma series, but TOH is the most realistic helicopter sim on steam.
