Also the manual that came with it, thick as a brick, was amazing.

Yup Flanker started it all.. Than Flanker 2.0.. I forget which of the two, pretty sure it was the first, that was one of the first sims to do a full up 6DOF FM. I belive Flanker was the 1st to use floating point, and PAW 1942 was one of the first if not first PC sim to do a 6DOF FM, but at the time they used fixxed point math.

Agreed 100%
