It is beautiful when it works though.

MS2024 is slated to be released soon but it supposed to be mostly "on-line". Considering the cost of huge data that will require, and the previous server problems, I'm not sure how that will turn out.

I know little about X-Plane 12.
I haven't had any issues with MS2020 other than huge updates. It is pretty good in VR. I like X-Plane 11 for flying better still, but MS you can see stuff like the pyramids and such. Had a competition with my nephew landing on the smallest nodule at Monument Valley. You have to be able to take off again was the only stipulation. I just used enough speed to fall off and get speed while falling.

Just started Flying DCS in earnest with my nephew too. He flies with a group of retired Ait force and Navy guys.
