The game will launch and run with no launch parameters under proton (ie. proton experimental or Glorious Eggroll), but performance is abysmal (even after 0.1.1.0 patch).
If you add certain launch parameters, you can get the performance to a pretty decent (i.e. near Windows) state. Launch parameters:
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1
However, the use of `PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1` introduces a bug where there is an semi-transparent ground layer above the runway, which planes crash into and explode when you reach a certain height off the ground.
I understand Linux is not a priority right now, but there's a decent subset of us who prefer to run Linux and would love to not have to boot into Windows to play.
