Wingcommander … now that was a game. I remember that there was one level that was both a lot of fun, but annoyingly difficult as my pc barely had the power to run it without dropping a few frames. This was when the 80286 (with Turbo ;)) was the fastest pc available.

It is incredible that we haven’t had any decent simulator for ages now.
Sure there’s a few (DCS World, IL2 Sturmovik is still a thing), but the classics are either dead or replaced with boring arcade 3rd person shooters that have nothing to do with actual air combat.

A X-wing style game with modern graphics and ‘simulation’ quality controls (energy management for example) would be very cool. Although I doubt that’s going to happen and if it does it will be crap arcade instead of simulator style.
