I always loved flight sims as a kid. This one looks like a lot of fun. The visuals are amazing, especially the water and landscape. The buildings look dull like they always have in these kind of games lol. The buildings are just basically simple geometry and provide obstacles to fly through. They have little detail to them, and there's like no life to the city it would seem (cars, people, movement of any kind). The flight gameplay is what it's all about though and I bet this would be pretty awesome to play. When I was in elementary school my best friend and I would go to Dave & Busters because they have a huge arcade there. While most kids were playing the shooting or racing games my friend and I always spent forever on the flight sim trying to land planes lol.
Just imagine 2 dorky ten year olds discussing the dimensions of a 747, admiring how realistic the LA skyline looked, and what speed and angle we needed to attain to achieve the smoothest landing and you'll be able to get a picture of what we were like lol. We took our flight sims seriously, as well as our Sim City, SWAT games, Rainbow Six, and even this submarine sim I had called Tom Clancy's SSN. I loved that game so much. I read Clancy novels back in those days and I was always in SSN steering my sub around, messing with ballast, skimming the bottom of the ocean, and stalking enemy surface ships. Wish I had that game still.
