Here s my two cents and probably worth every penny well maybe half MSF Microsoft Flight does in fact contain every bit of a real flight sim except its way more realistic environmentally but you don t have to That s the whole and entire arguement Many old time players heard that anyone could simply fly with a mouse and they lost their minds But you can turn that all off the automatic stuff It will allow you the complete flight simulator experience of MSFS Microsoft Flight Simulator and other sims except not everyone will have to do it like that and the weather fog clouds light shadow etc will be much more realistic Take a look at that cockpit view of the Maule all those buttons switches knobs pedals can be used all of it The complete control is there only some kid or grandma might be using their mouses and have all of that stuff being done for them by the computer And they the fanboys errr I mean the serious aircraft simulators hate that so very much Go to any flight sim forum and read all the rage it s insane So maybe you might want to watch for some very angry edits on this 70 176 129 182
