Microsoft Flight Simulator has been in alpha testing since October, but has a vague timeline for a 2020 release. Not only will it simulate the entire world, but it will also implement real-time air traffic, with all 37,000 real-world airports.

You would think that you would need a fairly high-end rig for all this, but the minimum specs for Microsoft Flight Simulator turn out to be quite reasonable. Nevertheless, there are also "recommended" and "ideal" levels, the latter requiring an RTX 2080 / Radeon VII and 32GB RAM.

Without further ado:
