It could be a lot bigger if they added stuff to do.

I know it is a serious sim so can't go too out there, but how about Jobs, like crop dusting, putting out bush fires, delivering cargo to remote places, races(think this is in already) Tornado spotter, stuff like that. You could add progression for each job or at least tracker.

Would love for someone to take this whole earth thing and turn it into a game like say, Risk. Or some type of military simulation. Defending or taking over countries. Planes, tanks, weapons, thousands of people.

Did they ever release any updates that made the game simplistic for people like me who just want to fly? This was the main reason I bought the X, but could never fly for very long (if at all). I don't want to read guides and a bunch of nonsense. I just want to use the analog sticks and triggers to fly around my neighbors places to see what they have going on deep in the woods.

You can indeed set things to be easier. You can even skip take off and start in mid-air. You can set an auto-pilot to take you to where you want to go. If you have a 2 hour flight, you can also just skip to certain points in that 2 hour flight path to speed it up. There are also "basic" controls. Be sure that ALL ASSISTS is enabled.

You can have it so you just play it like a racing game. RT to accelerate and LT to break and so on.

We all know why this game didn’t get the massive praise it deserved in some areas…

If it were on another piece of plastic would’ve been a different story.

Maybe. I'm not quite sure I'm on that train of thought for this game in particular as it really straddles the line of "game" vs simulation. More so than Gran tursimo or Forza.

The game won the 2020 Best Sim/Strategy Game at Geoff "Sony" Keighley awards.
