Wow, looks amazing! Quite an improvement over V1 of FlightSim. (Nevermind A2FS1 on the TRS-80, lol.)

...or my beloved F/A-18 Interceptor for the Amiga. I’d love to know how many hours of my youth were spent on this game.

Yep. One of my favourite games ever. It just ran so incredibly smooth. And that music!

Blown away by what I'm seeing from the new Flight Simulator. Very excited about this.

Whilst on the (semi off) topic of combat sims, you might find this enjoyable - the trailer for the new F-16 sim in DCS World. It's also quite out there; it's an exciting time to be into flight sims as ever!

I was about ... 12 or so when I played this, and its just stuck in my brain in a way few things are. Flying around that antenna and the golden gate bridge was awesome!

The missions are also so no-nonsense and believable.
