Go check out DCS! It's free to play this month due to COVID-19.

They have everything from WW-II steam gauges up to modern glass cockpit jets like the JF17 and things in between like the Mirage or the F14 tomcat. They're all extremely accurate simulations and you'll be reading 1000+ page manuals to learn what all the buttons do. It's literally button click simulator

I was going to suggest this. DCS is amazing. I literally powered up an F/A-18 from cold start and took off. So satisfying.
