I'm not sure how many of you like to play flight simulators.   I played quite a few in the mid to late 90s... even before that was Chuck Yeager's Air Combat (I think it was called). I used to play Microsoft Flight Simulator, many variations of Jane's games, others That were not well known, and Microsoft's Space Simulator (I don't recommend this one).  One of my favorites was the Flight Unlimited series by Looking Glass.

I haven't touched a flight simulator since the 486 or pentium 1 days. And those were very primitive compared. 
Not really sure I could back into that even though they can be so realistic today. My gaming taste has changed, spoiled.
