I only had dial-up in 2001, so I couldn't download the demo. I bought IL2 when it was first released, and what a revelation after WWII fighters and Screaming Demons Over Europe. I especially loved the damage modelling, and just the feeling of flight.
Every upgrade I've done to subsequent PCs has been to squeeze as much performance out of the IL-2 series, including COD.
First flight sim - Aviator for the BBC Micro, back in 1984.
