Flying sim for a greenhorn

Post by Horstecky » Thu May 13, 2021 11:19 am

Hi all!

My brother is turning 40 in a few days and although an entire family pitched in for a grand gift for him, I would like to get him something extra. He is a motorsports fan, an avid driver, and a lover of all machines big and small. When we were kids he enjoyed flying games like Red Baron or Comanche. The latter was a bit more arcadey though. He recently bought a decent PC and was mumbling something about returning to gaming. What would be a good flying sim, accessible for beginners? It doesn't matter if it is casual flying or war, he would love both as long as he can grasp it and enjoy himself. Any tips?

Ginger hit the nail on the head! Really can't go wrong with those options.
