If you want to try a real good single-plane-based simulator, try the
Microprose F15 Strike Eagle III. Very cool! Instead of being used to
train
F15 pilots, this program is co-written by a team of pilots. In
high-reality
mode, they say it's as close as it can get. Runs under DOS on 625k,
using
5 floppys only.
If you don't like to bomb Bagdad or so but only want to look at
instruments, try the Aerowinx 747-400. $$$$$ for 2 floppy, but it's
worth
it. Also, DOS only.
