Totally agree with the OP absolutely loving it.
Hitherto I had NO interest in PC simulators but now my normal life is in suspension while I learn about VFR IFR the original cause of looking at MSFS was due to my grandson asking me ‘how a plane flies?’ It is just a wonderful experience to fly anywhere in the world. It’s just a sublime experience using MSFS and seeing the absolute beauty of our planet.
I’m a great fan of Microsoft and the financial and technical resources (ie Azure)they are pouring into the project are staggering
