VTOL VR is not maybe the most graphically enchanted, biggest or even best flight simulator and I am not big fan of futuristic or fictional airplanes and I would pick up Cessna or almost any sail plane before these baby's VTOL VR has to offer...

That said VTOL VR is own class with full VR support and it definitely is THE BEST and must have flight simulator for VR.

Feels amazing & First of it's kind * * * * / * * * * *

+ This game serve to be example and standard for future VR -game developers.
+ Absolutely fabulous but attentiveness and planning requiring train simulator.
+ Careful reading, understanding the job description AND NOT FORGETTING YOU WALLET to previous station saves you
+ hours.

- Only missing co-op / multiplayer.

Brilliant * * * * / * * * * *

+ A lots of fun to do with friends.

- None of your friends don't want to play this ♥♥♥♥.
- Extra charge (you need to pay for another copy) if you want host dedicated server.
- Giants are biggest cry baby's of the industry*, surrounded by morons**.

- Game Optimization.
This game uses only one-single core of your CPU and as a bonus it is super fragile for a bad mods. Literally only mods you can use comes from in-game mod-hub (unless you love play with 15 - 30fps regardless how much you paid your high-end PC setup).

So good news: without mods you can run game pretty smoothly even with lesser of PC.

Bad news: To make game even remotely realistic you need tons of mods and there is no PC on earth to run all those and keep up even 60fps.

-------------------------------------

I complained about extra charge and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ forestry equipment and as a reward, got banned on the forum.

** @reddit, I try share server script I made specifically for farming simulator -dedicated servers and it got removed as 'self promotion'. Whole community is backwards.

OUTDATED:
-------------
Game is still in develop and SLOWLY getting optimize for a modern hardware.
ETS2 is Outdated game that once had a great potential to be more than just high view driving game.

Example: DX 11 update 2019 - 10 years after DX11 release and ONLY because DX9 support ended with windows 7.

COMMUNITY:
---------------
From modders perspective SCS gives a flying f***! It would be possible to sell mods trough Steam but in great wisdom scs has not enable this option for community. This automatically alienate professional level modders from rest of the community and their work is hard to find. This also enable risk to get scammed.

Those who make mods for free and want so share them with only people who actually bough a game and this way support developer, well... There is a group of 3rd party mod sites where EVERYONE can upload ANYTHING. Not only Workshop mods get uploaded there but also payware. At this point professional level modders simply quit.

SCS Company:
--------------
Talking about features there is endless list of features SCS and 'ceo' Martin Cesky has promise their audience but no intention to deliver. Looks like they are more interested make money cheapest and easiest way: Map and accesorie DLC's

Even tho game is still developped I don't expect to see any real changes in game mechanics. ETS2 will now and always stay as a driving simulator and that quite literally means just driving: Not loading a truck simulator, Not running a company simulator or anything else that matter.

But what do you expect? SCS is trying to give positive image and hear fans voice but at the same time I don't see difference between running a garage company -anywhere or this stone foundation czheck office. SCS you are TRASH!

SCS is holding on this old and outdated game engine with fangs and nails. All missing features could be done with any other fitting game engine available and game would have somekind future but no. I hope this game engine will get bury soon with SCS and someone less greedy will jump in and take over 'The Truckdriving game'.

Ps. I heard rumor DX11 support and Multiplayer implemented, didn't come inside SCS -garage, which support my view of SCS incompetence.

This game is proof PC gaming scene should just die. This childish game came out just some weeks ago and already it is filled with cheaters.

Racing game without wheel / pedals / sifter -support, What the h*** now?

+ Battlefield like -combat simulator with ships, planes and tanks...

- 100% pay to win
- Unbalanced, some countries simply not worth it
- Fictional RUS biased tanks
- Seen lots of matches people playing for frags instead objective.
- progress sown down near limit, can be speed up with real money.

THE WORST:
- Console players have advantage to auto lock targets on simulator battles.
- PC players don't have this option even with controller.
- Cant turn off cross play.
- Broken match making


- All audio mods disabled (even the crew ones) which change the game quite pit.
Just saying I want anime girl - crew. UwU

+ Not a battle royal
+ Combat simulation (but only with a good people)
+ Brilliant combination of FPS and strategy
+ Awesome graphics
+ Great mechanics
+ Cant wait new content (vehicles, maps) ++ New vehicles, maps!
++ Developer listen players

Only if this would be 1999 and people would still play fair.

read: cheaters and hackers.

- People team swapping to find out enemy outpost and garrison locations. Fixed
- People team killing and telling enemy spawn and force locations. Fixed
- Currently no working vote-kick system Fixed Dec. 2020
- From players perspective, Impossible to track who is cheating
- Discounts and free weekends
- New players who still think this is Fortnite or Battlefield : IT IS NOT
- Missing still a lot optimization. Debending patch, FPS is either 15-30 or 60.

Devs need stop calling this as a "minor" issue. Do you remember what happened H1Z1 - Just survive? it didn't die because bad devs. Game died because nobody wanted to play it anymore because of hackers. You need only one to destroy whole server.

I don't want waste my time playing 1 hour 20 mins and then get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ because someone could not take it and decided to take a "peek", tells spawn locations for enemy and start team killing and worse (actual hacks).

Thank you for making this legend a Free to play -wh**e. Now I can cheat away all I want and if I get banned I just roll a new account. Thank you for 17 years together. Goodnight, sweet prince.

Beautiful under water co-op building game for friends to play.

Oh, multiplayer not implemented, because devs didn't feel like it, EVEN THO IT WAS PLANNED IN AND PROMISED.

as multiplayer game, I would recommend.
as solo player game, I would recommend only if I just could get over those empty promises.


update: Br, I hope G24 Wins the lawsuit. This game is half-done, overrated piece of garbage.
