Who else enjoys Flight Simulator?

I've been playing this game for many years. It's been interesting to see how it has advanced throughout the years. As you can see in the screenshot, it has certainly come a long way since i the beginning.

A calm flight in the evening usually helps me with anxiety, even if it's just for a little while. It's more than just a game for me. In addition to reducing my anxiety, I can actually learn a great deal about aircraft. I'm always ready to learn something new.

I love to look down and see the ground below me. I'll never fly an actual plane, but this is pretty close to the experience... or at least close enough for me.

That simulator has been around for a very long time. And I’ve always enjoyed it. At first I used it and kind of the video game mode? But now when I have access, I like to play it with full realism. It is really different than what people think flying is it is totally awesome

@Dshhh I like that, too. It offers flight lessons, so I've been doing that for a while. I'm having trouble with one lesson, which involves maintaining a certain altitude while throttling down. I have to make trim adjustments while watching my instruments closely, and the instructor isn't very forgiving. I'm working on it, though.
