Learning to fly gliders since 1980

Stopped using flightsims for good since early August 2026, after 34 yrs using some really great specimens... If I'm asked to name the preferred one, after all these years, MSFS 2024 is my answer without hesitation.

(No desktop :-// after the last one crashed for good, so no simming, but I keep polling AVSIM - my main ludic activities spot since around 2006...)

Wow, and some folks think we have it rough! Talk about "primitive instruments..." Thanks for the cool retrospective of the first "digital flight simulator."

Might not look as fancy as Flight, but at least that one appears to have some ATC.Al

LOL I think that was added when making the video... :wink:

What's this? No global scenery? It doesn't have 24,000 airports? Where are the heavy jets? Bah where's the coin slot, this isn't a flight sim!</sarcasm>
