The best Flight Simulator yet! This is the first flight sim where you can actually fly by VFR without questioning if the town you see is actually the town you think it is like other sims. You can actually read stuff in the cockpit. The first sim capable of true VFR flight. I would like to see the ability to pull breakers. Spend your money on this before you spend it on Xplane 11 - IF you want visuals and you're looking for gameplay with friends. unless your PC is not capable to run the sim you will not be disappointed with, Microsoft Flight Simulator.

NOTE: In order to download the game you have to launch it and in less you get 1gb/s internet you will be out of the 2 hour game time return policy.

PERFORMANCE STUFF:
I use an i5 6600k overclocked 4.2ghz, 1050 ti SC, 16gbs of 2133mhz ram (that's as fast as the motherboard goes), and a samsung 970 plus m.2 drive. I am able to get 20 fps on ultra settings 1080p. It's playable at that FPS. It's not miserable it would be nice to have 30 or 40 fps at ultra. The game honestly looks amazing. I get 750kb/s: I am able to stream the ultra settings and live weather just fine for the most part occasionally it dips too low and advises me it is unable due to my bandwidth. I can get 50 to 60fps on low quality but it's kind a boring on low. Some guys are getting 40 to 50 fps (ultra settings 1440p) with 1070 Ti cards. My i5 6600k maxes out when the game is loading and if I am over a city. It seems to stay around the same CPU usage no matter the graphics quality. As long as you have a CPU above 4cores and above 4ghz your fine, go for more graphics power. My 1050 ti runs at 75C and 100% usage constantly with the fan at 90%.

Update new system specs - i9 10850k, 3080 ti FE, 32gb 3200 mhz ram, and m.2 game runs great obviously 60+ FPS in almost every environment ultra settings.

Xplane 11 or MSFS2020?
Now the question: Xplane 11 or MSFS2020. If you're looking for an extremely fun sim to play around in and especially fly with friends MSFS2020 is for you. However, Xplane 11 offers a more real experience. If I'm actually siming for training then I'd choose Xplane 11. Here's why - MSFS2020 I can feel the Cessna 172 just floats right off the runway. It also tends to float for stupidly long on the flare not even realistic. I mean we're talking it's still floating at 35 KIAS sometimes. In xplane 11 the C172 feels really good. it doesn't gain 50ft altitude when I go to flare at 55 - 60 KIAS. It flys off the runway instead of floating off the runway. I also noticed for some reason at 100% power the Cessna 172 is burning 15 gallons an hour. Often 9 - 10 at 75% power. Uhhhh guys I can tell you that's not realistic. 9 - 10 gallons an hour at 100% power. Something is up with that.

So if you want realistic (well as realistic as it gets for sims) get Xplane 11. If you want kind a realistic beautiful scenery and a good time with buddies - get MSFS2020. I honestly play both.

Not better in every way compared to TheHunterClassic. Why doesn't COTW have dogs ? I would buy a DLC for dogs collector & tracking dogs. TheHunterClassic also has a HUGE selection of firearms where as this has a very very small selection. But the huge advantage COTW has is it doesn't cost you 200 USD to play it and have fun in single player.
The game itself is awesome. I have an i5 6600k (Overclocked 4.2ghz) 1050 ti "single fan superclock" (overclocked 400mhz memory CORE OC to 100 mhz) I run the game on Ultra 45fps (1080p) some places I drop to 30 fps. There are some weird animals atm. For instance geese have crazy good scent if you don't have scent killer they smell you a mile in the air and fly up and away. Crouching is a little loud for how crazy slow you move. Other than the lack of ingame content compared to TheHunterClassic. I would say I enjoy COTW's gameplay more than the hunter classic. Highly recommend it as one of the best hunting games available.

It's kind a fun if you can get into a server, other wise it's just single player. Make sure you have a beefy GPU. Game runs ok - I get 40 to 60 fps on the lowest settings i5 6600k unlocked and GTX 1050Ti Superclock. It has a lot of stuttering. I think I was 30 years old when I began loading into a server and when I turned 50 it failed to load in. Loading times are horrible. Crafting is ok better than most (survival) crafting games.

Things to be aware of before you buy:
They have had 2 updates in their total life time. Been out for just over 1 year. 1 Update back in August 2019 and 1 in December 2019. They released 2019 in January. These devs have been known to make games for a cash grab then abandon. Beware before you buy. Your not going to get anymore content than whats already featured or in the game currently. *update as of 3/28/2021 they seem to be adding some content with at least 3 updates since stated prior.

Pavlov is a must for VR. I've had the most fun playing Terrorist hunt.

Other VR games to check out -

The game is great. Much better on the new engine, however I'm disappointed to see the idea of a "burn trait" necromancer was the best trait, but now it goes away everytime you use it. This should simply just be an item you purchase now called " remote revive"
Serious crashing issue with opening the map!
Cheaters are an issue, but whats new. Aimbot specifically. I rounded a corner and no more than .05 seconds a guy from 112 meters headshot me with iron sights.

Would really like to see further development. The re code is finally done and evirma is out. We are starting to get some things promised 2 or 3 years ago, which is nice. Development is moving a long for now, but I would still be a little weary as the development is pretty slow because it's a small development team. Other wise the game is lots of fun. Even more so with friends to play with. Who doesn't want to be a little dinosaur that gets eaten by a T rex?

Update*
All the above being said, the development has slowed to a crawl. The game has many bugs. For every 5 to 6 devblogs we get an actual update. I do appreciate the devs keeping us in the loop, but being real here - development is too slow.

Great game, fun to play. Most everything you can buy is cosmetic. Some of it will give you a battle advantage.

Better than the Free To Download version. This version of fishing planet is 100% worth it if you liked the free version but wanted more without having to pay 300 USD for DLCs and baitcoins for advanced licenses. Its free to play once you purchase it. You can actually work your way up you don't have to pay real money to get any gear or licenses. If you haven't already bought all the DLCs and own many advanced licenses to the free to download version, I highly recommend you get this version.

If you want go download the free version try it out and if you like it enough buy this version it will save you a lot of time and money in the long run.

It's a fun game for the short term, but right now it's missing something. Other than exploration, messing around, and building a cool base there's really nothing to do. The devs have really stuck with it though and continue to add more and more free content to the game. VR is really awesome just have a decent GPU.

Game is abandoned. It's fun, but still needs a lot of work. It looks fun and the graphics are amazing... well poorly optimized and has a lot of bugs. Stay away from these devs they abandon games. I do not recommend buying. Even for 1 buck
