Online Flight Simulator History

Yes, yes.  Some chest-thumper will come in here and harumph that this was already posted in 2003 and 2005.

However, I just accidentally ran across it today and enjoyed re-reading it.  So for those who have not read this yet:

So who is going to play Hitech in the History Channel mini-series?   :D

I'm thinking the guy from Under Siege II:

Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe and Red Baron 3D were my first sims. Much better than what followed like F-22 and FA-18. Red Baron 3D especially had great sound and realism for its day.

I may be revealing my age but.... I began playing flight
sims in the mid to late '70s with wire frame sims on a perkin-elmer 7/32
mini frame... and YES... the same Perkin-Elmer that screwed up the
Hubble mirror
