Agreed, it reminded me of this breakdown of a single frame render of GTA V: http://www.adriancourreges.com/blog/2015/11/02/gta-v-graphics-study/

I wish somebody would donate Microsoft to the recycle bin

Can you detail your VM setup? I’ve tried Windows 10 on several occasions using Qemu and VirtualBox and the UI lag has been complete ass, even after installing the driver packages for each VM host.

You might as well ask why didn’t the Soviets create an army of genetically engineered polar bear super warriors to enslave the rest of the human race.

If you think there is any comparison here in terms of magnitude, you should probably go have your head checked.

I don’t know about you guys but I would hope to see some rendered frames

Listen to that turd plop in the water

The game has amazing depth and a steep learning curve. If studying a flight manual for twenty or thirty minutes at a time to learn some real-life subsystem and then trying out whatever you learned in a fully simulated fighter plane sounds like fun to you, then you’re going to have a blast (pun intended).

To me, the biggest draw backs are spending so much time and money (planes and maps are not cheap) immersing yourself in a game that may never run more than 30 FPS and crashes from time to time. There’s also the frustration of being a true “sim”, where you know you put that guided rocket straight down the throat of that SAM launcher, but he’s still alive and shooting because he has 23% health.

See you in the skies!
