Madden or Squad are my alternatives when not flight simming

 

I guess they kinda count as sport and infantry simulations

Grand Theft Auto 5. That sims just about everything... even things I can't (or shouldn't) talk about in public.

 

Bet you're a wiz at landing that C130...... unlike some !!

I enjoy Train Sim, and GTA V (The Police Version) it essentially turns GTA V upside down into a police simulator. 

 

Here's a link of me running the Train Sim. Great visuals, physics, and sounds, after I modded them. 

 

Flying has always been where I've spent most of my simulation hours. Never got into the terrestrial stuff like farming, trains, or driving sims. I do enough point-to-point driving in real life. I like the freedom of flight, even when flying scheduled assignments in FSEconomy. Something about that third dimension...

 

Speaking of the third dimension, and aside from cockpit-level space games, which are basically a whole other genre, the only other vehicle sim I've ever loved are the submarine sims -- Red Storm Rising, Jane's 688, the Silent Hunter series. Unfortunately we're in a dead period now for major sub simulations, especially historical. The closest I've gotten lately is Subnautica, which is an exploration/survival/building sim where you can drive a few different subs around an alien ocean planet. It's fun for dipping in and out of, when I want something a bit different.

My gaming interests are annoyingly diverse:

 

- Racing sims, such as rFactor2, Dirt Rally, ProjectCars, etc

- Trucking sims, both ETS2 (w/ promods) and ATS, although I've set aside ATS and am waiting for the map resizing before I give it anymore serious time

- Train Simulator

- Space sims (backed Star Citizen for $60 way, way back, hoping it turns into something worthwhile one of these days, would definitely call it more sim-like than Elite, which I'd consider an arcade game & doesn't really hold my interest).

- Shooty sims such as Arma

 

This is on top of all the non-sim stuff I enjoy, like strategy, rpgs, arcradey stuff like Rocket League, odd-ball stuff like BeamNG.

 

I just recently bought a new (well, new to me) FFB wheel to replace my really old and out-dated one, so driving games have definitely been taking front stage lately.

Partial to the odd route in OMSI2.   It has it's weaknesses (like FSX, fundamentally around performance), but the driving physics are very good, and there are some great route maps available - many for free.
