I remember, when I was young, I loved Aeroplanes (no, not airplanes, aeroplanes. thats how it should be spelt).
I used to play a game called 'Chocks Away', on an old archimedes BBC computer. It was great fun, not realistic graphics, but then that would spoil the expierience...
When my family moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand, we finally got ourselves a proper windows-based PC.
After a while, my dad decided to look for any flight simulators and a decent joystick. What do'ya know, he found Flight Simulator 98 and a Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital. I flew around, managed to land a 737 around chicago, and I had great fun!
To this day, I still wonder... ???
WHERE THE HELL WAS MY MANUAL?!!!!!!!!!!!!
