Still thinking about it
This game is kinda slow, old and boring, but my Dad used to play it all the time when I was a teenager, and even into adulthood. I played it with him again a few months before he died. I think about him when I play it.

When I was a Navy primary flight instructor, I made sure my students practiced with Microsoft Flight Simulator
When I was a Navy primary flight instructor, I made sure my students practiced with Microsoft Flight Simulator. The program didn't teach them everything they needed to know to become pilots, but it did help them get the hang of basic flight maneuvers, local area navigation, and instrument flying. I could tell which students used FS and which didn't: the ones who had practiced with FS consistently performed better in the real plane. That was years ago. Now, I have a child who has expressed an interest in aviation. When I went looking for FS, I found it here on Steam. I bought the program and a joystick, and today we worked on level turns. He could turn to the assigned heading; he could maintain airspeed; he could hold altitude: he just couldn't do all three at the same time. This is entry level, first-flight stuff, and I'd rather he get a feel for the three axes of flight for pennies at our kitchen table than for $250/hr for an instructor and a rental plane. I'm thinking of this as $9.99 well spent! I'm running the program using Windows 10 in a Parallels window. My computer is a 2012 MacBook Pro with a 2.9GHz Intel Core I7 processor, 8 GB of memory, and Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 M. The program's running smoothly, with many of the performance sliders at or near maximum.

I am a pilot
I am a pilot. Worked for Braniff Airlines until they went Bankrupt. Yes, that makes me old. That being said, this is the closest inexpensive Flight Sim to real flight you can buy. Yes you can spend thousands of dollars and get a more realistic flight sim experience but at almost 80 years old and having my Licence expired decades ago I prefer to fly via Flight Simulator. I most often fly the DC-3 simulation because it is one of the Aircraft I flew while working for Braniff.
