    “How about outrunning a very slow moving haboob?”

    “Genius, Bob!”

    I can’t wait to have a hair raising chase where I misjudge a movement and narrowly crash into a rock sending a fireball into the sky and scattering debris everywhere. Or you know, the screen could cut to black cause plane crashes still bad

    They’re making another one? Fuck. My pc can’t even run the current one. The current one has better than real life graphics, what more do people want? Is Nvidia giving everyone at Microsoft blowjobs or something? Give people time to catch up ffs.

    I’m glad I don’t care for flight sims because fsx, the one before the current one, doesn’t run well on modern pcs because of its stupid 4gb ram limit crashes. I’m not playing in fucking 800x600 just to avoid a crash.

    This looks very pretty. But I can’t help looking at it and thinking about the mechanical implausibility of getting that flappy thing to fly. It looks like shrapnel waiting to happen. I never usually have a problem suspending disbelief in games, I think the ‘simulator’ label makes my brain expect something grounded in reality.
