"Give me a simple flight sim."

In my life time i've played one good flight simulater. Which is Knights of the sky on the Amiga 1200. The idea was to fly your mission, although this is no new revolutionairy idea it worked on this game becasue it was so damn simple. you had two weapons machines guns and bombs, easy. Although the graphics were bad then, the gameplay was brilliant.
So to look at to days flight sims there is that one by microsoft with a manuel so big it takes the best part of amonth to read it.
Improving the realism of a flight simulater is a good idea but not if you got a novel to read before you can play it.

But surely the idea of a flight 'simulator' is to 'simulate' what its like to fly a plane.

Excuse my ignorance but I heard thats quite tricky..
