Looking for some games that have satisfying flying, plane or spaceship preferred.

Hey there, I am looking for some game recommendations for some games that have satisfying flying mechanics. I played a ton of Space Engineers a while back, and am waiting for the second one now.

I wanted to find some recommendations for some games that can scratch that flying (and preferably exploration) itch. I looked at No Man's Sky but from what I saw the flying is not really that great and its more of a A -> B system rather than a fully fleshed out satisfying aspect. Anyone have thoughts? It's just a little expensive so I don't want to buy it then regret it.

With that said though, I am not only looking for spaceship games, if there are plane type games I would be interested.
