    Hey guys,

    Ever since 1984 with Sublogic's Flight Simulator II for the Apple II I've been a huge flight sim fan. Have run sims on every systems I've owned over the years. I love them.

    I wanted to point out that there is an awesome sim in the Mac App Store that is a must-have for flight sim fans. You can grab a proper flight stick for under $30 at Best Buy and go from there. I've had huge fun with this one.



    Great stuff. This sim appears to be advanced such that airframes are entered into the system and actual flight dynamics are calculated real time. It's interesting to note the representation of aircraft characteristic effects, like the AWACS model that is prone to roll left or right at low speed (due to the dish above). It feels not like a game but very much like a true digital wind-tunnel. It's an exceptional flight experience, truly.
