>It was probably the most I read when I was 14 True for me too. I remember that game. Reading the manuals for all the Jane's and Microprose's games, and taking them very seriously, was definitely a childhood highlight. Btw, I found that GoG has F-117A and the reviews are awesome. I hope these are genuine reviews because they definitely echo my experience :-) Here is the link: https://www.gog.com/game/f117a_nighthawk_stealth_fighter_20 https://www.gog.com/game/f117a_nighthawk_stealth_fighter_20 "...it will keep you on the edge of the seat.." "This game is in the top three of all PC games I have ever played." Definitely echoes my colored-by-nostalgia-memories :) Edit: I have a question — what is the best way to play this game on a MacBook? (Without installing windows or Linux)

    Those prices are pretty steep though. I think you can still get Thrustmaster and Flightstick Pros, but back in the day, I could just go and buy one. I have not seen a joystick at a retailer in years.

      I just bought a relatively cheap ($70 CAD) HOTAS setup at a local retailer a couple of weeks ago. I’m not at home and don’t remember whether it was Logitech or Thrustmaster, but it’s a great setup for playing X-Plane. If I wanted to be more realistic, I should have bought a yoke and pedals, but that was more in the $200+ range and I’m not sufficiently committed... yet.
