There's only so much you can do from the passenger seat of a helicopter
Star Citizen. Travel between systems. Landing on a planet named Bloom in the outlaw Pyro system.
Traveling between solar systems using a wormhole.
I've been an early backer of the game. It has come a long way and is in excellent shape (still some bugs, but as you can see absolutely breathtaking IMHO) and completely playable in the current Alpha! It releases next year.
The ability to seemlessly travel between planets and between systems without a single loading screen and transition from orbit to massive cities below is unrivaled. I'll put up more gameplay videos of my ship coming into dock and landing on one the planetside stations. It's extremely impressive tech that RSI is doing.
Yes you can land on ANY planet and explore the 100s and 1000s of miles from pole to pole on any planet in any of the 3 fully fleshed out solar systems so far. 5 systems are planed for the initial release. EVERY point on every planet is explorable and for you to find out it's secrets or points of interest and potential lucrative opportunities.
Not only that, the numerous settlements, gateway stations, hauling and mercenary work, living aboard your ship, PVP or just exploration. You can accept hauling contracts, protection contracts, missions to capture or kill gangsters on planetary outposts, or live a simple life and mine to make money. Everything in the game costs UAE credits and the ships are the biggest prizes as well as armor and planet side medical and vehicle support.
Also, the ships are incredibly detailed from any other game I've ever played. Watch my gameplay videos and turn up the volume. I run a 5 person mining team (with 4 other human players) and paid for one of my ships with the proceeds of getting our ore refined and sold on the ore market in the game. We split the daily profit. It takes over 20 hours (real world time) for our or to be fully refined at one of the refinery stations in specific L2 orbital stations usually above gas giant planets.
The game is popular: There was a free fly event this past weekend (where anyone could try the game and they could rent a ship in game and take it out for a spin.) Other than that, there are millions of people playing this game daily but the systems are so big and the planets are so vast that you need a dedicated party to really encounter other players. When you do encounter other players they are usually on one of the dedicated planetary hubs scattered around the universe. You can talk to them, team up, or if they have a crime stat, hunt them, disable their ship in combat and capture or kill them.
Flying on Bloom - I was benching my hardware so excuse the overlay in the bottom left. From grass to atmosphere. You can keep flying anywhere. It does take real world time though (minutes or very rarely, like 30 minutes!) That is why most ships are equipped with a quantum drive. If you buy a ship without a quantum drive you can only stay in your local system and travel will take a LONG TIME - (hours in real world!) lol.
Traveling between star systems - you actually have to control your ship and avoid the other 'quantum bridges' in the wormhole. Those other bridges lead to other wormhole destinations and if you don't control your ship properly you can be sucked into them and spat out at a random point (or in a star itself or planet!)

Videos from the Marvel Tokon beta that I took, I don't know why they look so washed out, maybe it's an HDR issue or something, the game doesn't look washed out like that when playing. I am not any good at it but it's fun.

Helicopter and Chill in VRChat.
This has 'Arcade' controls and not a true Sim, but it casual flight and fun.

MSFS 2024. Got a new camera add-on that lets you easily switch to views like this one (ChasePlane).
