I'm very tempted by this but echoing what you're all saying in that it seems perfectly acceptable to just watch other people play this instead. If it was less than 30 quid maybe.

It is on PC Game Pass if you just want to give it a spin.

I calculated I'd need to spend min $500 to upgrade my PC to the point where this is playable. But the "under the hood" advances in modelling atmospheric convection and turbulence are pretty amazing.
My understanding is that MS plan near monthly DLC with new planes/airports/game modes. Sign me up for whenever the glider and aerial firefighter DLCs drop.

I watched a video and the plane happened to be flying over Asheville, NC, my former home. There were buildings where there are indeed buildings, but the buildings had no character and were all a single story high, even in downtown. Kinda disappointing given all I've heard. Major cities, however, are all 3D mapped and basically spot on.
