Whatever you consider x-plane and p3d, it is that.

Maybe when P3D stops CTD's and VRAM OOMing, it might be one too!

Why do you think flight simulator is a "game"?

Game or simulator?

This question - coming up here again and again - is pointless unless you define what these terms mean in the first place.

Depending on the definition it is well possible that MSFS can be considered to be both a game and a simulator at the same time.

But if "game" means "fun" and "simulator" means "constant tweaking and struggling with performance, CTDs and OOMs" I'd prefer MSFS to be a game.

Anyway after all it will probably all depend on the size of the trees...

Another interesting question is will there be a subscription depending whether it is a game or a simulator ?

This has been debated ad infinitum. I see no point in yet another debate. Find something else to discuss.
