Just out of curiosity, I was wondering what were your first flight sims?  Mine was "LHX Attack Chopper" which came out about 1989 or 1990.  I still have a copy of it but I can't use it (no 5 1/4" drive).  After that I spent many hours on Microprose's "Air Duel"

Jane's Combat flight sim.

FS9 is my first commercial and general aviation sim. Thoguht it might be boring, but I love it lol

Mine was "Gunship" on the Sinclair Spectrum, around 1984.
Excellent helicopter simulator ...still play it now on my original Spectrums, and "Spectaculator", (Spectrum emulator), on the PC... ...!

Cheers all... ...!

Paul...Sinclair Spectrum addict... ...!

If my brain cells remember that far back, I recall using MS Flight Sim 2.0 a bit - late '80s, and a Mac game P51 Mustang""(so this would have been 1988-90).

The first flight/combat simulator game to really hook me was Kesmai's "Air Warrior" in 1988.

first one i had was MS flight sim god knows what version on the Atari XE must have been 1987 88

A-10 Cuba....

It was and still is a very fun game...simple graphics so it ran really good on my P233!

SubLogic Flight Simulator on the C64

Jane's US Navy Fighters... A great game, and for some reason still works with my XP!

My first flight sim was Flight Simulator, the one in my avatar.

Mine was Red Baron, and F-117 Nighthawk. I think it was called F-117 Nighthawk, the intro had a F-117 pass by and bomb a hangar. Then after every mission you see a picture of a pilot giving you a thumbs up.

Thinking of those two makes our stuff now seem amazing.

I believe I had the Commodore 64 version of MS Flight Simulator and also one with Chuck Yeagers name on it....don't remember that one real well, but it worked to inspire me at the time.......

My first was Chuck Yeager's Flight Simulator. I spent countless hours flying it. I don't even remember exactly what kind of computer we had, maybe 80 80 something

I had a game called 'Elite' for the Commodore 128.  It was pretty awesome.  You could choose where to fly a spaceship, whether to be a pirate or not, etc...

My first FS sim was FS98.  :)

Mine would have been Psion Flight Simulator on the ZX Spectrum 48k with rubber keyboard.
Alas Fozzer and myself still love these things, I still have a working 128k hard keyboard Speccie and a huge pile of tapes, including Elite for the 48k variant Kevin Its still a great game

Mine was in 1984/5, on the C=16.  It was called "Air Combat Emulator - A.C.E."  You flew a jet attack plane and had limitless missiles to shot down the enemy.  About 1 in 20 would be a red homing missile.  I thought that the graphics were amazing.

Around the same time I also had "727" or possibly "737" which was a much more realistic simulator.  You had to take off, fly over a mountain range and land your heavy.  If you didn't do everything 100% correct you would crash and have to restart.  I did it once properly.
