With the Year of Star Wars upon us, it has occurred to me to a Space Sim played in a cockpit might be fun.
What games would you recommend for immersive play?
I bought the Wing Commander series for a song. Send me some suggestions.
>Wing Commander Series - The bundle is gone, but you can get the games at gog.com
>Elite: Dangerous
https://elite.frontier.co.uk/ It should be noted this is in Beta. They refer to it as Premium Beta, like you get to pay to be a beta tester, but that isn't uncommon now, with the greenlight and kickstarter phenomenon

Wings of St Nazaire It should be noted this is in Alpha
>Freespace 2
http://www.gog.com/game/freespace_2>Freespace 2 with mods (list your favorite mod you've installed)
http://scp.indiegames.us/ or Hard Light
>Xwing vs Tie Fighter *unfortunately, a person might have to buy it used*
>Star Citizen
So before this thread just turns to a list of games that are in space. What I'm asking for, if you'd like to contribute, what are your favorite games, why did you like them, do the games feel realistic in a "sitting in this chair for hours and it feels like I'm flying a spaceship" and most importantly, what was your controller configuration for each game?
Thanks.
