Because I can't be bothered to set up my HOTAS, rudder pedals, web cam, head tracking software, etc just to play a game.

Why don't you just leave it set up at all times? I do. Also "setting up" head tracking software literally boils down to opening a program and putting on a hat. Holy shit you're lazy.

Because they're just fucking walking simulators but with planes. They just replace walking with flying. Oh WOW you are SOOOO HIIIIIGH up there in some imaginary air pretending to be inside a plane, whoopdeefuckingdoo wow how amazing, maybe that shit works on a 5 year old. All you do is move forwards and turn around a bit. Flight sims are Death Stranding in the sky. They're fucking retarded.

>t. has never played a flight sim
I bet you couldn't figure out how to start a Cessna 172 if you had all day.

I play FSX with HOTAS, rudder pedals, Oculus Rift and leap motion

shit is cash

imagine being this fucking stupid

like really so do you think things irl just move on rails like your little babby video games?
there's more to operating a real machine than push gas pedal and go you busriding trash. go outside and get a license.

>and then all of a sudden youtube.com/watch?v=B2vqmVVZHYE

why don't you just get your pilot's license?

I want to eventually. It's expensive.

A flight sim isn't real life, wake up kiddo.

jet fuel is a whole fuck ton cheaper on my PC
also 145 Octane Leaded fuel exists (again)

Kill yourself retard. The PMDG 737 and 737 Zibo mod are very true to life and even real Boeing pilots agree.

it's pretty damn close.

go play your japanese menu simulator little fat boy

If they gave me a decent story to follow while I develop flight autism I might, as it is now it's too much for me to handle.

PULL UP
WHOOP WHOOP
PULL UP
WHOOP WHOOP

>If they gave me a decent story to follow
Why does every game have to be a movie to keep you people entertained?

I played back when they looked like this. They were kind of fun back then. Probably because they could be played without a HOTAS rig, 10 years of flight training and severe autism.

If I tried a flight game again it would probably be an Ace Combat game. Those are the closest to what I want, but what I really want is a slightly more serious and realistic version of that, that doesn't yet require me to become an actual pilot and deal with all the boring shit.

I own a flight stick and I like airplanes but the idea of flying around a shitty looking earth with no real purpose isn't appealing. You need something to bridge the gap that won't water down the mechanics of you want to grab people who aren't already wanking over cockpits

Because I’m an actual pilot :3

Recreate actual flights from various airlines using SimBrief.

those alarms actually gave me chills.

WOOP WOOP TERRAIN PULL UP WOOP WOOP

>Recreate actual flights from various airlines

I'm not sure I could imagine anything more boring than that if I tried. Even a passenger train sim sounds more exciting than that because at least you'll see some scenery on a train.

How is Yea Forums feeling about MFS 2020?

I've been playing a lot of TIE Fighter if that counts.

Wow, I didn't know 747's used the speech synthesizer from VIC-20.

Cringe but redpilled

Looks pretty enough I'll try it as my first flight sim, are these games even real sims?

Try doing an NDB approach to minimums on one engine with a tail wind.

only retards play these games and waste time

the spin video has me officially hyped

Very real

>are these games even real sims?
they are, but they have to be severely dumbed down to not completely alienate the first time/casual user
default airplanes have unrealistic performance, handling, and reliability. Assists are all on by default to keep things from getting to difficult. Missions take place in broad daylight with clear skies, and gigantic floating flags allow users to easily find their way through the world. There's no consequences for violating airspace or flight rules.

But underneath this shallow presentation the core of the simulator is very good for a consumer product. It takes some modification and consumer intention to get the best value out of it.

Aren't there mods to fix all of that stuff you mentioned?

every game is imaginary you tard

Sounds pretty good from my entry level perspective.

The only fun mode in the only sim I had fun with is completely fucking dead.
CQC Arena in Elite Dangerous

I've been interested in them but don't know where to start. What's a good one for beginners? Can they be played with just keyboard and mouse?

>Meanwhile at the MFS2020 Yea Forums Airport...

>requesting landing clearance for my P-51 callsign Boomer

the genre is almost 40 years old now, there are a shit ton of mods, free and paid.
sometimes you need a mod to fix something in the some.. sometimes you can just change some text in a config file
sometimes its as easy as turning off "auto rudder" or enabling crash detection and aircraft overstress
sometimes it's just how you choose to fly.. and nothing changes within the program itself.

*Hot air balloon passes by*

How long has /simg/ been dead for?

>What's a good one for beginners?
X-Plane 11 is probably your best bet. Ancient FSX includes a full interactive flight school and aviation articles but it's 13 year old software.. and looks and runs like it.
>Can they be played with just keyboard and mouse?
Yes they're all designed to function like this.. it's not the ideal solution but it is doable.

I don't care about modern jets.
I do love me some IL-2 Sturmovik.

FS2020 is going to be goat.

>inb4 muh combat jet sims are better brainlets
In reality its zoomers who can't sit still for 2 minutes and have to shoot something.
Pic related is your average DCS faggot.

I do sometimes, but I'm bad at them.

What career mod should I use in FSX?
