What is your favorite simulator game?
(lemmy.world)
Simulators are one of the earliest PC game genres, and remain compelling experiences to this day, even if they're not as popular as they used to be.
I like all kinds of combat flight sims; the MS Combat Flight Simulator from 1998 was something special, and I've had some similar fun in IL-2 Sturmovik. The newest civil air sims are pretty great too, I'll pop on a podcast and make a flight. They're particularly cool in VR.
I've also found the MechWarrior games to be fun, but I've only played 2 and 5. I got to play a bit of Steel Battalion with the full crazy controller at a con a few years back, and that's got to be a lot of fun once you really know what you're doing.
So what's your favorite sim?
Derail Valley Simulator. I like my trains.
If you like building sets, you should check out Rolling Line.
Not so much the collecting. I like learning how to drive them, and driving them. I blew up my steam engines the first several times I touched the controls
I should get back into that one. I played some in early access, and it was fun.
Depending on how long ago it was, we've had a couple of updates recently. You can now paint all your engines, and there's a ton of gadgets
