What is your favorite simulator game?
-
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?

So what's your favorite sim?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.

So what's your favorite sim?Euro truck simulator 2! I have lots of hours in this game, playing date and night. At some point I had a Logitech wheel with pedals and shifts, it was so damn good!!! My routine was to get a long route through graphic and small roads, listening to radio for hours.

So what's your favorite sim?Not super in-depth like some of these other games but I love Snowrunner. I can count on 3 fingers the number of games I’ve spent over $100 on the game+ additional content in my entire life. Civ5, Civ6, and Snowrunner. It’s such a relaxing game but can definitely be difficult as well. Also i can play music at the same time and not miss any story because there isn’t really any story.

Is that a simulator game? I thought "tycoon" was a different category. If it fits, I'm on board with it as the GOAT.

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.

So what's your favorite sim?I definitely have the most time spent in Project Cars 2 on PS4, but I've since switched to PC sims and have been playing Automobilista 2 since it is the most similar. I'd like to get into Assetto Corsa more but idk how to get the mods running on Linux / Steam

**Motor Town, Operation Harsh Doorstop, Sailwind, Hydroneer, Cold Waters Dot Mod, Nebulous Fleet Command, Helicopter Gunship DEX** and **Out Of Ore** are all great "sims". I also consider extremely mechanically deep rpgs like **Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead** or **Unreal World** to be simulators and both are superb.
