Absolutely! Let’s be real, flight simming is not a cheap hobby. It’s couch change compared to actual flying, but compared to say, building a model airplane from a kit, simming is very expensive. So for those who are on a limited budget because they have to be, or maybe they’re the young ones amongst us who are using their parent’s money, and they control the purse strings, the XBox version is a good choice. And, it’s good that it exists for those folks, where in the past the only choice may have been to not flight sim at all.
But if you’ve got the money available to you, in my personal opinion, the PC remains the best choice. Maybe you don’t want to (or can’t afford to) go VR today, but that will probably change at some point, both your desire and fundage.
That’s one of the reasons I think it was so very smart of MS to make the option available, I just wish they’d get it “in the can” so to speak, so the developers can stop dedicating so much time on the XBox stuff, and get back to devving (is that a word?) for us hard-core folks! In a twisted sort of way, the XBox users are actually subsidizing the dev work for us “serious” simmers, so to all y’all, I say thank you.
That’s why I don’t object very hard at being basically a beta tester for the XBox version, because it’s going to pay our bills in the long run. Or rather, MS’s bills on our behalf.
Assuming any of what I just said makes even a lick of sense. If not, then just ignore me lol…
