Yup.
Sometimes I don’t fire rockets, drop bombs or loose missiles, sometimes I just look at those weird mountains in southwest Iran and think “what an interesting landscape” for an hour or so. This sim looks perfect for that.
Other times I just want to operate a complicated machine to it’s maximum murderous potential and that’s what DCS is for. (and carrier landings!)
And sometimes I wish to whirl around in something with a (more or less) powerful piston engine driving a beautifully crafted piece of wood and machine gun nazi’s until the wings come off their planes and that’s what Il-2 BoX is for.
There are people decrying the lack of game in the above experiences. Well.
