i am hoping for some of Jane's simulations from the 90's..Apache Longbow, USAF,US Navy, etc. Yeah, they are fairly hardcore but there is nothing like taking out a bunch of Tanks with your Apache chipper...

Same, that would of been sweet, throw in some LockOn, happy days.

"Ask later" would break up the monotony of "too niche". lol

How about GOG Simulator? ;)

I didn´t want to write "sex simulators" in order to pretend a minimum of sophistication :)

Welcome to GOG

GWENT Simulator. :o

Umm, how about some classic simulator games instead? Here is a random mix of titles: LHX (EA), Gunship & F-15 SE III (MicroProse), Wings of Glory (Origin), Dawn Patrol (Rowan), Seawolf (EA), Aces of the Deep (Dynamix).

Wizardry no, these yes.

What a joke.
I work on my classic.

And I own car mechanic simulator.

I would rename: clicking simulator

Hij wil gewoon dat je de tekstboek versie neemt omdat hij dan in een vorm gelijk heeft, Maar in feitelijkheid kan je alles een vorm van game noemen zolang je jezelf maar vermaakt, En ik noem PC building simulator weinig vorm van vermaak maar ik weet ook dat domme mensen zich altijd makelijk vermaaken. Ik had hem al voorbeelden opgenoemen maar hij draaiede er omheen als ik hem zijn definitie vraag over wat een game is omdat hij dat zogenaamd niet weet en dan euteindelijk geeft hij toch de game de schuldt omdat hij hem niet zelf speel en er geen interese in heeft.

''Actually, if the world around is realized in our brains then it also must mean can change anything as long as its based on what the brain belives is real.''

That's with nutjobs in asylum say when they see things that aren't there, Would you now define that the imaginary things those people see are real cause those are also made by the brain but aren't even in the laws of physics. And no simply cause you to see things in your imagination doesn't make them close to reality cause you need more people to see the same or else all people see different things. When I play A game I see the same things as you and I see what the creator wanted to make it doesn't change if i just wanna imagine something else.


''Of course real physics doesn't allow that, you still need to follow the rules of physics.
But making humans belive something is real is not that hard''

You made the notion that your brain makes up everything and makes it come true how will you, for instance, know a horse is a horse and not a unicorn in disguise? The universe around us created everything including us so we are following the laws nature provides us we don't make the world around us without mind we perceive the world only as it was meant to because we are conscious.

Also, this so-called hypothesis is the reason people believe in GOD but is more a desperate attempt from hitting despair.

The matric is an imagined reality which needs a computer to make sorta off real towards our perspective but in it doesn't negate the fact that it's real. Every book is a form of imagination or movie is a form of imagination even games but they are fake realities. You'd think if we could realize those realities people would stay in the shitty one we have now?

None of this here, of course. Probably "too niche" (tm).

The problem with things like Janes is less about the name brand, but more about the aircraft. Lockheed, Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, and such would likely charge an arm and a leg to just have those aircraft relicenced, if they'd even think about it.

This is in fact, why Flight Simulators outside of the 30,000+ USD range are all but dead.

In all seriousness, the open hate and hostility that some here present, just because some games got released, that they personally don't like, is appaling.

Simulators of all sorts are successful on the market because lots of people enjoy playing them.

And since someone here addressed "escapism" as a necessary part of games, which these simulators allegedly don't deliver...here's a little fun fact: lots of simulators get played mostly by two main groups of people:

- the people who always dreamed of doing job "A", or activity "A", but are "trapped" IRL in job "B", or otherwise not able to do so (handicapped people exist, you know?), and
- the people who play simulators, that simulate their daily field of work.

Lots of RL-car mechanics enjoy playing "The Car Mechanic Simulator", because it allows them to tinker around with cars that they probably never see IRL.

Lots of farmers enjoy "Farming Simulator" in its seventh (!) iteration already, simply because it allows them to handle machines that they can't afford IRL.

Lots of train drivers and conductors enjoy "Train Simulator" and "Train Sim World", etc., because it allows them to drive engines and routes, that they won't ever drive IRL.

Lots of anglers enjoy the diverse fishing simulators, because it allows them (even on a small budget) to fish in waters (be it lakes, rivers or the sea) that they'll never see IRL and "catch" fish they'll never could catch at their local fishing ground.

I personally know a truck driver who enjoys - can you guess it?...exactly: "Euro Truck Simulator 2" and "American Truck Simulator" and all their expansions and DLCs, because it allows him (a truck driver working in local transit) to drive across whole Europe and the American continent (well, at least the parts of Europe and America, which the games deliver).

And that list goes on...

For all these simulator fans and players, their favourite game/genre definitely is a form of escapism. Despite the fact, that some actually work in the field that gets simulated.

For them, it's about their dreams coming true as much as it is possible, without having to change job or residence, etc.

You don't enjoy these games? Fine. Then don't play them.
But don't try to belittle them or the people who play them.

Their money and their leisure time is worth exactly as much as yours.

Okay, that was stupid.
