YSFlight[0] is mostly what you are looking for.

It distributed fully freeware for Linux, macOS & Windows as OpenGL1 (default graphics), OpenGL2 (enhanced graphics) and Direct3D (Win-only) versions.[1]

While its default ("stock") addons are not so eye candy, community created addons are really nice.[2]

List of known community addons available as a spreadsheet[3] (regular updated) hosted on Google Docs. Actually there are 14500 aircrafts, 1049 scenery (maps), 10404 ground objects (ships, cars, characters, buildings, etc.).

There are many videos on YouTube, just search using "YSFlight Movie" and "YSFlight Promo" queries for clips which are show-reels. Here is good "The Beginner's Guide to YSFlight" for latest versions.[4]

JFTR, I started to use YSFlight just after watching "Strangers - A YSFlight Promo Film".[5]

Actually I'm fan of YSFlight & addons contributor[6], so you may AMA about it! ;)

P.S: There are also servers for online gaming (and you also could create & add own just using YSFlight installed!), mostly active on each Friday.[7]
