I have spent thousands on mods and cant get enough of it, aged well and runs well even on relatively old hardware even loaded up with tonnes of 3rd party extras. If you love aviation you'll love Xplane!

Flown round the country starting at Bangor Maine and returning- mapped it out and followed it touching every state in the USA. Finished the round trip one year to the day I started- landing back in Bangor Maine. Loved every minute of it and still look through my photo book of screen shots. By the way, I am 69 year old female-still having fun!

Just bought this game at the end of 2024 and the sim still holds up great ! The only thing that im annoyed is the sound quality of aircraft but its still good considering the price is just 10$. On this game's review i see a lot of people complaining about the optimisation but theres the option of vsync in the game setting , you have to disable to to get full fps. I also had issue of fps but when i turned off this setting it gave me stable 60fps even on my decade old rig (gtx 970 , i5 6500. Definitely worth the price even in 2024/2025.

Probably the best flight simulator title I have ever tried next to Microsoft Flight Simulator. Compatible with Yaw Pro Motion Simulators. This title has incredible graphics, realistic flight in a massive amount of vessels and of course has full support for Virtual Reality. A must buy for motion simulation owners. Yaw Motion Simulator settings: Pitch Forward: 25 Pitch Backward: 34 Roll: 31 Power: 65
