If you have a VR headset, VTOL VR is amazing. All the controls you interact with by reaching out and flipping toggles. The graphics are good enough. You get three aircraft with the base game and there's a DLC available that adds an AH64 analogue.

The complexity of the game hits a sweet spot for me. To get into the air you have to go through some startup steps (maybe 8, most of which involve hitting "power" buttons). There is some light air traffic control simulation that you can interact with (or just take off yolo style). Mission design is diverse and there are a decent number of fan made missions.

The initial tutorial missions do a good job getting you up in the air, after that you benefit from watching some youtube tutorials because each weapon system and aircraft have their own unique features.

Another thumbs up for VTOL VR from me. There is something infinitely pleasing about reaching out and flicking those engine start switches, radio control dials, and MFD buttons to me, a scratch that isn't hit by the more complicated and in-depth DCS start up and control routines where I'm just clicking a bunch of buttons or hitting keyboard commands as I have been for decades.
