I think this is where I diverge from the Flight Sim community. Most sim-ers are searching for realistic IFR, busy airspace, ATC, and airline/commercial type operations because it’s something that is basically not an option without a career in the field. This means most of the development work focuses on that type of flying. Plus it has commercial applications, like use in training simulators.

As someone who has a career in all of this I just want a way to fly low and slow without dropping $20k+ on an aircraft plus all of the other ongoing expenses and time that incurs.

MSFS2020 certainly looks promising but so did FSX. I suppose I’ll just have to continue waiting until the VFR experience improves or I can afford an aircraft.

Thanks for sharing your experience!
