One final note on gameplay, the feeling of flight (as I mentioned before) is something really special here, the sound, the control responses and the visuals all combine to really sell you the idea that you are flying in a aircraft, it just feels right in a way that is difficult to describe.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
You can fly with limited assists or no assists, i prefer to fly with auto mix but everything is under my control, its fun tbh managing your temps and speed is rather fun and flying with no HUD is highly recommended as it makes you feel as a pilot should.
