    a few more for the list:
    ZX Spectrum: Tomahawk (AH-64 sim) [DI],
    Atari ST: MiG-29 Fulcrum, MiG-29M Super Fulcrum, F-16 Combat Pilot [DI] and HiSoft ProFlight (Tornado sim),
    PC: Tornado [DI], Ah-64 Apache [DI], Hind [DI], F/A-18 Hornet [DI],EF-2000, F-22 ADF, F-22 Total Air War, A-10 Cuba, F/A-18 Korea and Take On Helicopters
    One company releasing on all these platforms: Digital integration [DI]

    Muy buena recopilación, pero faltan algunos clásicos como F19, F117, todos los simuladores aéreos de JANE, como son IAF, F15, ATF, F!8, Yeager, (muy bueno en simulación) y muchos mas que alegraron mi vida, algo mas, DCS es del 2008 y sigue evolucionando, va por la version 2.8 y para mi es uno de los mejores de todos los tiempos, es la continuidad de los FLANKERS, luego ;LOCKON y FLAMING CLIFF.

    I almost got my Dad to buy us a Lynx for Warbirds alone. He had his PPL when younger, and had to let it go later as it became too expensive of hobby to upkeep, but we was always fascinated by flight simulators. When I showed him Warbirds running on a Lynx at a display unit in some game store, he was blown away...but not quite enough. He made a deal where if I save up half the money, my parents would kick in the second half, but...money burns holes in the pockets of a young teenager.

    As someone else's Chuck Yeager flight simulator as the best. But while it might be impossible for the Creator to find, the KayPro my friend Sander had had an excellent Flight Simulator, although a little unrealistic in that you could switch planes mid-flight if I recall. Imagine going at Mach 2 in an SR-71 and then going into a Sopwith Camel. It did indicate that the plane was literally torn apart.
