By default the game double-mapped certain functions to my Logitech X56, most annoyingly the throttle power. Setting up a HOTAS and a few cockpit panels proves more of a challenge, however. It seems absurd to be able to marshall such a rigorous physics model through the air using a pad, but it not only works, it feels great. Rudder and trim adjustment are over-sensitive by default, but that's an easy fix in the options menus. Its realism is scalable, too, to allow for zero-stress virtual tourism with an Xbox controller or all-out simulation with a HOTAS or yoke setup.įrankly the Xbox pad pilots are well-served here considering the volume of functions necessary to pilot a plane. The simulation model is more detailed than it's ever been, a statement you can put to the test yourself by switching between 'modern' and 'legacy' models in the game settings. Traditionally, the simulation community reacts like the locals in that pub from American Werewolf in London to an influx of casuals-and I say that as someone with half a pretend cockpit sitting on my desk-but there's no trace of sacrificing depth to cater for a broader audience here. The dividing line, then, is the method of control. So it's a simulator for people interested in flight, and a magical virtual tourism portal for people interested at peering into the Mir Mine in a prop they're controlling with a pad.
The prospect of an entire planet to explore can be crippling too though, of course, so it would be great to see more curated experiences from Asobo in future. And you're going to have a fantastic time. You'll tick off every F1 circuit on the race calendar.
