I need a good flight simulator for a PC

I think it was Flightsim 2002 where they went to a toggle 3D cockpit view, but it was pretty blocky. I was on an old system as well. I need to load up Flightsim 2004 on my new computer and see how it runs.

I took some basic flight instruction in 1977, but that's as far as it went. The real-world sims like MSFS and X-Plane got boring after I messed with them for awhile without any long-term training objectives. The Microsoft WWII Combat sims are a lot more fun and you can vary the difficulty of the flight model.

 

My all time favorite flying game was Chuck Yeager's Air Combat

David, that's some pretty archaic looking stuff...but then "classic" video games are big now.
