As @sburns i watched the show and now want to play it.

For me currently, I always loved flying games so borrowed Ace Combat 7 from the library (did you know you can rent video games from the library!?) and it’s Ok…but nothing beats the original Chuck Yeager game…

Who remembers this one?

I'm not sure if I ever played Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe, but I played a LOT of Red Baron

I loved flight sims as a kid. Started with Chuck Yeager, but my favourites were the B-17 and Aces series (Aces Over Europe, Aces Over the Pacific, etc).

The problem I have is the modern ones are either straight arcades shooters like Ace Combat or study-level realistic sims with zero concessions for fun. I tried to get into the DCS series a while back, but holy crap is it complex. For me, in making everything hyper-realistic, the fun has been lost. I'm not interested in memorising the 800 steps just to get a plane started and in the air. The Il-2 series is a lot more accessible, but then some of their people online started spouting anti-Ukraine nonsense online, so I've given up on that one. So for now, if I want to chill and check out scenery, I fire up the newest MS Flight Simulator in VR, hit the auto-start button, and mess around without worrying about programming flight plans into the computer etc.

I wonder if I can hack my Wii to play some of these old games. I'm sure there's an emulator out there somewhere...

They might have and old school arcade game set, there available on other platforms.

I remember smashing the "U" key to clear machine gun jams
