I’ve spent a lot of time in the sim on my PC. When it released on the XBox, I picked it up there for my Series S with zero expectations that it would run well. I was pretty surprised when I tried it out.
I definitely wish there were more options for the sim on console, but I also understand the challenges there. I still fly on my PC with the HOTAS I’ve had there for a long time, but I find it’s usually only when I want to fly airliners.
I’ve slowly come to the point where if I’m just doing some GA flying, it’s almost always on console now. I even bought a VelocityOne, pedals and modified a racing wheel stand to mount it all on while flying on the XBox and it’s been a blast.
Do I think the sim is better on PC? Sure do. But I won’t take away from how nice it is for me to have the option to plop down on the couch, pull my stand up and use the V1 and pedals to enjoy the scenery on my 70” TV too.
The more options, the better as far as I’m concerned. If you have a love of aviation and want to enjoy it, I don’t care where you do that. The more people who get to experience that, the better, especially when more people get to share what they love in communities of like minded people.
