Microsoft Flight Simulator brings back very fond memories of my childhood. I can remember learning to fly with a joystick that pushed in and out up and down just like real pilots!
I could never master the helicopter and I’m pretty sure I crashed into the Sears tower a LOT.

- atonse 7y agoI really miss SimCopter. The missions were so interesting.
- ljoshua 7y agoSimCopter was one of the most underappreciated Sims ever! Especially fun was loading up the cities you built in SimCity and flying around them in SimCopter. Oh man, good times.
- billfruit 7y agoDon't know how good it is, but there is Heliborne available on steam, reviews seem decent.
- ceejayoz 7y agoThe cheats that got you an Apache gunship were awesome.
- codezero 7y agoI assume that joystick was a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. I owned one for years that had this functionality, it also had a throttle wheel on the side and a bunch of macro buttons. It was seriously awesome as a peripheral.
