I would recommend this sim with plenty of reserve, meaning, it is too expensive and it has A LOT of bugs, which I wouldn't certainly expect at this price point, and not even at a way lower price point.

To mention a few:
- bugged airports, especially the small ones where you can't possibly leave the parking lot or they send you to hold short only AFTER crossing the runway which results in a penalty.
- bugged career mode which results in negative passive income and unfair penalities.
- bugged ATC/COM radio, it doesn't work most of the times, doesn't matter if you tune on the right frequency, which guess what, will result in penalties.
- bugged controls where if you skip a leg then you'll find yourself with the engine at 100% (this is at least "fixable" moving back and forth the slider) and the impossibility to acknowlege transmission from ATC, pressing enter does nothing.
- Bugged IFR training mission that will make you fly forever so it's impossibile to complete.

Now the good stuff:
this visual representation of the ground is much, much better than its predecessor, having the portable screen is incredibly useful and finally being able to directly plan your flights from there is great, and so it is having the procedures for most of the airports, carreer mode is really interesting and opens up to more opportunities and challenges.
Loading times are also greatly improved, the bad thing is that I don't think it will be possible playing offline anymore, also this game requires a very fast and very stable connection, meaning fiber.

As it is I wouldn't consider this game "production ready", but it will with time, eventually and hopefully, it really sucks that software houses made us acquainted having them releasing clearly unfinished and untested products, heck even the start screen is bugged not giving the possibility to move the mouse around so you have to resort to tabbing between buttons using your keyboard, seems like it hasn't been tested at all.

My vote is "YES", only because I think all this will be ironed out in the future, but as it is, take everything else into consideration.
