    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. 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?

        Falcon BMS is pretty nice. It's like 5$ and the latest version just got out.

          I'm going to go sith Euro truck simulator 2. The experience of chill driving across europe and listening to podcasts is nice. The game isn't complicated enough to affect listening experience, but also engaging enough on it's own right that it stays interesting. I have probably seen 80% or so of the roads and cities, bit they still feel fresh... Could be that I'm forgetting places faster than I'm getting familiar with them as well. I do have a steering wheel and pedals, but they're just too cumbersome to get out and my wheel stand is made for someone at least 20 shorter than I am, so the experience is hampered a bit anyway. Because I'm lazy I've just resulted to driving witn mouse and keyboard combo.

          Yep. I have all the map and special delivery DLCs too and it’s awesome. I don’t get it why exactly, but it’s awesome just seeing the detail they put into the game. Getting all the photo locations is really hard! And some of the achievements take a looooong time to get.

            For me, my favorites are: RAH-66 Comanche for flying sim. Wolfpack (from Brøderbund) for submarine sim. I believe it is also free on archive.org. Euro Truck Simulator 2 for trucking sim. F1 2019 for racing sim. But it pretty much requires a wheel and pedals if you want to get really good, which does add to the cost.

              I spent a lot of hours in F-19 Stealth Fighter on the Atari ST as a kid. The [manual](https://archive.org/details/f19stealthfightermanual/F19-StealthFighter-Manual/mode/1up) for that thing was unbelievably in-depth. I'm utterly convinced I could fly real combat missions in that (fictional) plane.

                              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

                                      X-plane. Ms flight simulator is drop dead gorgeous, but X plane has a better flight engine.

                                        That was my first thought when I saw OPs screenshot. I still hear "check 6" in my head every time I get zoom and boomed in War Thunder

                                          My parents got me a copy of Harrier Jump Jet by Microprose one christmas. I can't even begin to imagine how many hours I spent on that game, both actually playing it and studying the manual for it. Still have the manual actually but the floppies are long gone. After that I got every Microprose sim I could get my hands on, F14 Fleet Defender was probably my favorite after Harrier. Then I kinda lost interest in simulators until Arma came along, spent years where I hardly played anything else. Nowadays though ETS is pretty much the only sim I play.
