OK - so a flight simulator isn't for everyone. This isn't an arcade game. This is a physics based simulator that opens up a virtual world to those adventurous enough to learn something new. Having been a fan of the Flight Simulator series from the initial 1982 release I am at a loss for words at how good this sim is. You can fly VFR ANYWHERE for the first time with the baseline game - no mods needed! Cruise through the Grand Canyon...fly past the Eiffel Tower...see the exotic Far East...it's all at your finger tips - or rather at the tip of your joystick. With extensive multiplayer support, real world traffic and weather, and an endless range of options to make your experience easier or harder - you will never run out of things to do. The world is open!

I run on a MSI laptop with an I7 6700HQ @ 2.6GHz , GTX1060 6gig, 16G ram using 1920x1080 resolution. I have a fast internet connection (500mb fiber) and have no problem running anywhere on high settings with live feeds. I can run in most environments on ultra settings but do get some lag spikes in extreme poly-count environments like flying through the streets of NYC. Even on medium settings the graphics are incredible.
