It's a very good (and new) simulation model. The issue is that it's pretty buggy, and performance is varied. I think there is real potential for it to be optimised into being much better (very poor use of multi core CPU for example), but that's a pretty fundamental rewrite you'd need for that. That it isn't built with DX12/vulkan is again disappointing and I doubt will be something that's addressed in an update, though I'd love to be proven wrong!

It’s probably the best flight sim to date. I see huge potential for addons to leverage the map data. Perhaps an arcade mode to make it more accessible to casual gamers.

Yep, there’s just the usual post launch bugs from complex systems. If you’re just flying GA then it’s for sure the best out.

Apparently yes. I watched a few pilots on YouTube that were beta testing and praising the way different planes behave as highly realistic.
