How well do these run in wine now? When I last tried (a good few years ago), I remember bugs that stopped me doing a full play through, although I don't remember what they were. I'll give it another shot if things are better now.
On the back of the EV recommendation, I'd add Endless Sky. Very heavily inspired by the EV line, although the feel of combat is a little different. Open source and under development, and should run on most hardware.
I've recently started playing ETS2 in vr with the Quest 2 over PC link. Way more fun than I expected it to be, parking up in fpv is so much more challenging
