Elite: Dangerous is would be close, although orbital mechanics are non-existent, the galaxy is modeled in the correct scale and now you can land on some planets.

The older Elite games (Frontier) actually had more correct orbital mechanics and space flight, and the creator didn't think it was very fun (dogfighting at km/s speeds etc.) so went back to a more arcade like model. I tend to agree, ED is pretty fun, although it has been described as "a mile wide and an inch deep".
