When I Got Into Flight Sims This Was State-of-the-art

How about this one... This was my first flight simulator and joystick!

I started out with Flight Simulator 2 and Sublogic Jet on the Amiga 500, but the simulator that really grabbed me was F-19 Stealth Fighter. I remember I got it for my 10th birthday and just about lost my mind with happiness.

F-19 was a really awesome sim, in fact I've not played a simulator since that had the same mix of accessibility, depth and peripheral pilot storyline all in one package. (If anyone can make a recommendation I'm all ears!)
 

How far we've come huh?

I remember this was just before the F-117 was unveiled to the public.  The F-19 in the game was based on a speculative design that the Testors plastic model company had come up with.  I thought the Testors F-19 looked much more cool than the F-117.  Wish I still had the thing.

Not my first flight sim as I got into FS1, However this one was extremely addictive at the time:

My first would have been Ace of Aces on the CPC 464.

 

Does anybody remember A320 - Airbus on the Amiga?  I still have the box and extensive manuals somewhere.

 

By way of comparison A320 was released in 1991

This is the Airbus x-tended released in 2013...22 years later.

Ah...manuals, the manual for Falcon 4 was soooo big, you could have beat a whale to death with it.
