the only oos game i ever played was the 'flight sim'.

the 2 planes i flew where the 'sopwith camel' and the 'lear jet'.

flying the lear was not 'true flight'. an actual lear jet flight
is a "peak point" coarse. from take of, your flight is an ascent to
a peak half way between points and then a steady decent to landing.

flying the lear jet thru the obstacle coarse would not be possible
for a real lear jet. was not all that easy in the 'flight sim' either.

the later 'purchase' version of 'flight sim' was a lot better and
more planes.

other 2 games i bought and played where 'falcon 3.0', an f16
fighting falcon simulator, and a helicopter simulator. [do not
recall name, and it is packed away somewhere.]

i played 'falcon 3.0' mostly because i finished 'flight school',
but never got thru 'flight school' with the helicopter. :-(
