Don't make fun of me about this but I'm looking for a decent-enough simulation game that can help me learn to visualize and concretize things I'm currently learning.
Its not likely that I will be able to get in a plane soon, nor use a real simulator, so for now I just want something I can use in my downtime based on my current schedule (something that will feel more productive towards conquering my learning curve).
My current career path is pointed at become a dispatcher, and likely that, before getting certificated as a private pilot. I would like to actually fly to gain some familiarity but practically speaking this is outside the current scope of what I can grasp.
So I'm looking for a game I can download onto a console and get some simulated familiarity. I understand it cannot substitute for real experience. I just need it to help me concretize information I am absorbing.
That aside though, I want it to be as accurate and helpful as possible. I definitely want to avoid learning misinformation. In the same idea, but on a side note, if there's a game that can help me gain familiarity with the dispatching aspect of getting a plane from one place to another, I'd be curious to try that too.
I'm asking here since all of you are some kind of braniacs who, I think, can actually answer my question that I don't know where else to ask. Otherwise I'm going to play hit-n-miss and judge by sales ads and search-engine-optimized floof.
For more context I work bags on the ramp, am studying the basics of private pilot, and preparing to get a dispatcher cert. My time studying aviation spans a couple months. Things are set in motion on a clock and calendar but I still end up with downtime which makes me feel restless and impatient, hence my post.
Thanks in advance.
