Talk:List of space flight simulation games

Ok, I have been poring over this list of Space combat games looking for this game on and off, I couldn't remember the title, for years whenever I got nostalgic about old space combat games from my childhood. Now I finally found it, and it turns out it's not actually on the list. I'm afraid of Borking the whole page if I try to add it in myself. This game definitely belong in the space combat section. It plays rather similarly to X-wing and all the other old space combat sims in the days before lateral thrust became a thing. And it has a really artsy interactive movie style thing with British actor Clive Owen that I am pretty sure is a lot more famous now than he was back then. ^[1] /ÄlveKatt — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.216.141.251 (talk) 16:05, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

I was interested in this subject as a reader, and I did a sort-by release date on the table. The #1 result of that sort, Flight of Nova, which claims a releast date of 2020, is not actually available. A search reveals a Steam page which claims that it's coming in May of 2021. In other words, it doesn't exist. Maybe it will some day, but it doesn't as of now. A bit misleading and sure to send more people than myself on a dead-end hunt for the might-someday-exist-but-doesn't-now software. I didn't edit the page, I'll let someone with more experience with this page decide whether the entry is acceptable. Mr. Moral Panic (talk) 04:24, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

I have reinitiated my cleanup of this article after numerous users disruptivly reverted my HUNDREDS of changes. I am going to bed at the moment but I will continue work on cleaning it up. There are still broken lines of formatting and games that need to be cross-referenced, and sources needed to be added. - R9tgokunks ⭕ 02:00, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

For the record, the only 'disruptive reversion' that happened was when the Freespace Open community noticed that Freespace 2 was missing from this page, and I tracked this down to an edit which had removed the entire space combat sim section, probably in error: I strongly suspect the editor simply selected a large block of text in the visual editor and overwrote it by accident. I fixed this and put the section back in. But then you completely flipped your lid, apparently thinking I was undoing a series of cleanup edits you'd made, and without checking that this was actually the case you reverted me and reported me on the admin noticeboard claiming my edit summary was gaslighting you, personally. You apparently didn't read any of the replies to your report there because they clearly explained your misunderstanding of the actual issue. Amusingly, 45 minutes before you made this post on the talkpage claiming you were 'disruptively reverted' back in March, you made the exact same edit I did back then, so at least there isn't a giant hole in the article where half the genre should be. I have to say, this little episode has been pretty entertaining. Phantom Hoover (talk)

Is there a reason Star Citizen is not included anywhere in the list and nobody apparently even brought it up in the discussion, ever? In my humble opinion it belongs here, at least in the games under development. 79.17.206.106 (talk) 22:16, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

What?? Star Citizen should be in here... for sure! ~2025-39497-57 (talk) 16:01, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
