Swat 4 🤷♂️
Elite Dangerous
Assetto Corsa, hands down. The mod community have made it into something quite special. I've got pretty much every other driving/racing sim as well, but I keep coming back to AC.
I like OpenTTD. Based off the old Transport Tycoon game
Assetto Corsa
Amazing game, could have more varied maps in free access servers, but the game is old so it's ok
It's my favorite racing sim. Good pick.
IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946
X-Wing was the reason I jumped from Atari ST to DOS/Windows.
Damn. And I thought I was old, Methuselah. 🙇🏼♂️
This has to be roller coaster. Period.
A-10 Attack and A-10 Cuba. Still the crispiest and most enjoyable flight sims I've ever played.
OMG I had so much fun with A-10 Cuba on classic macOS. It's still one of my favorite games.
A-10 Tank Killer was the bomb.
Sim Collector Simulator
Derail Valley Simulator. I like my trains.
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
Apache longbow 2 from 1997.
Edit: got original mixed with 2
I spent a lot of hours in F-19 Stealth Fighter on the Atari ST as a kid. The manual for that thing was unbelievably in-depth. I'm utterly convinced I could fly real combat missions in that (fictional) plane.
YES! I PLAYED THE SHIT OUT OF THAT GAME!!!
UBOAT, submarine sim and even though it gets very tense at times it is also quite cathartic.
Euro/American Truck Simulator, its the perfect game to chill to and I have been known to fall asleep while driving :/
I have spent a lot of money on iRacing and Elite Dangerous. I kind of miss it but also feel that i was way too deep into it to be having fun. It was a struggle to always make things better and i was not really enjoying my self
B-17 (intellivision)
F19 (Atari computer)
Jumbo jet (Atari computer)
ACC is my favorite right now.
I've always been a little obsessed with Sopwith Camels because they are one of the prettiest but also most insane things to fly into battle with. ROF does an excellent job or giving me that fix :) Also ROF is free to play (and the DLC with the Sopwith right now is super cheap).
American Truck Simulator.
SimTower is my jam or SimCopter
I spent way too much time on Red Baron. The simulation was just good enough to convey the awkwardness of piloting machines that in the end were made of wood, fabric and heroic faith, including the Sopwith Camel's notorious torque issue that made it constantly drift to the right.
That was another great one; it's one of the most fun eras to fly in.
Falcon BMS. It’s a mod of falcon 4.0 from the 90’s. Best combat flight sim out there. DCS is prettier, I guess, but, overpriced garbage by comparison.
Train Sim World. Yes Dovetail have their problems, yes its expensive if you want a lot of the latest DLC (why, its not multiplayer so doesn't decrease in popularity like multiplayer game DLC), yes its not a well optimised graphical tour de force. But damn is it relaxing to play with multiple levels of difficulty that are entirely optional. Its possible to get hundreds of hours of replay from a single route if that's what you enjoy.
Pick up Derail Valley Simulator. It's not as pretty, or expensive, but good Lord is it satisfying to learn how to NOT blow up a steam engine.
Farming Simulator.
I grew up in the country and moved to a city. It's neat to see how accurate the older tractors and equipment are to real life.
The one where you get to shoot jfk.
