When I was a kid, I did all kinds of combat flight sims from Jane's Combat Simulations (Fighters Anthology, Longbow 1/2, F-15, F/A-18, etc) to Falcon 4.0.... I flew them all and loved them despite their obvious limitations like having to use a hat switch on a joystick just to look around.
Fast forward to today where I can fly even more aircraft in much more realistic environments... using VR to put me IN the actual aircraft.
I spent a few hours today flying and was blown away (yet again) at how real it looked.
There are times when I feel like technology is actually doing something fucking cool, and this is one of them.
