For comparison, here's what FS 2020 looks like vs. Flight Simulator X, the previous version...

New (Flight Simulator 2020), on "high" (very playable) quality:

Old (Flight Simulator X) on max/extreme quality:

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

There's fun to be had in other kinds of vehicles, too...I think this ensemble is comely. Especially the suppressor.

I posted this not-at-all photo realistic image to one of the Big Bear FB pages in a sim-related thread where more tech-savvy folks hang out...and some of the old folks are expressing legit concern about my choice to land an Airbus in Big Bear City. Apparently, the giant call-out floating above the airport did not strike them as unusual.

Bumpkins are awesome.

That's too bad. It would be very cool to do a sneak pass at full burn in a F/A-18 Hornet on that yacht next to Ellis Island.
