At 60 years old, I remember my first pc flight sim experience. It was called F-19, (I think), and there were no joysticks. It was a low resolution model played against an orange background (way cool). The whole sim was loaded on a few floppy discs, and it ran on Windows 3.1. Later more flight sims required DOS agility, and custom start-up discs. (anyone remember TFX?). Then US Navy Fighters came out and it required Windows95. The genre has come a long ways since then. Long live combat flight sims!
