All together it adds-up to a very meaningful entertainment (actually more like a a hobby at this stage), and also a way to extend one's gaming habits into later years, by making it more than about instant gratification and twitch reflexes (which also fade with age). Therefore I am personally surprised that flight-sims is such a dying genre nowadays, I personally blame those librul millennials with attention span of a gnat.
They are thriving very well actually. They are now just consolidated.

For military there is the DSC World, on the civilian side, the revamped MS Flight Sim 2020 version cloud based from Microsoft
