[The_Dank_Astero]

Does anyone play games like these on Kiwifarms?

Here are some examples:
Falcon BMS, DCS World, Rise of Flight, IL-2, Combat Helo, Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane, Euro truck sim, Assetto Corsa, rFactor 2, Live for Speed, SAM Simulator, Steel Beasts Pro, Steel Armor: Blaze of War, Steel Fury: Kharkov 1942, Enemy Engaged: Comanche vs Hokum, Silent Hunter, Dangerous Waters, Train Simulator, Farming Simulator 201X, OMSI 2, DiRT: Rally, Ship Simulator

PS: If a game in this thread is being talked about often i may make a thread for it.

I wish I could play more intensive strategy sims like the Gary Grigsby’s series but I got the kind of autism that makes me scream and bang my head instead of the kind that makes me good at math and sim games.

Games like Squad and Post Scriptum are not even close to simulators. Both of those games have stupid gamey dumdum mechanics and do not represent combat in a realistic sense at all. Squad is basically a World War Two first person shooter but with a modern skin. There is virtually no modern combat elements to it at all.

Did they made FS2020 any lighter? Because I couldn't run it very well with my setup last time I checked.

I dick about on Arma3 a bit. Would like to have the time to get decent at it and get into playing online with a crew but so far haven't.

I played the shit out of Euro Truck Simulator 2. A new map expansion is imminent if I recall.

I used to play the fuck out of Falcon BMS but its bugginess and propensity to crash randomly got to me and I finally quit after years. I think DCS is going to end up totally replacing it, eventually.

I have known people who have said that if you can fly a F-16 in BMS you stand a good chance of being able to pilot one in real life.

Is DiRT: Rally considered a sim game? I'm not saying it isn't, I've just never heard of it described alongside Train Simulator or MS Flight.

I've played the hell out of IL-2 and a little bit out of DiRT and MS Flight, but most of my Autism Games aren't vehicle based - they're like Paradox strategy games, Cities Skylines, Kerbals (kind of vehicle I guess?), that sort of stuff. Building sims and historical sims and science sims, mostly. Do they count?

For military sims besides IL-2, I don't know if Arma or Men of War count, but I play those sometimes too (or would, if Arma didn't think I pirated their dumb game for jerks).
