MiGMan's Flight Sim Museum

Welcome to the 2009 version of the Flight Sim Museum. Over ten years on and still going strong! Browse the galleries with the new navigation system, or search for your favourite sim with the 'Search' function.

Plenty of history yes, but also a living museum, the Flight Sim Museum features "case studies" on older sims ( between 2 and 10 years old ) which still have lots of playability today. The case studies include step by step instructions on: How to fly the sim, using the Virtual Cockpit, Air to Air, Carrier ops, Basic Controls... and lots more!

Many of the "older" sims still fly on someone's hard drive. They may have a particular atmosphere and ambience, or a particular aircraft or theatre - and they are inexpensive!. It is also worth digging up and even installing one of the older sims to learn skills that apply to newer sims.

Also, take advantage of the fact that when running 2-6 year old sim, a PC that barely sucks 10 fps out of the latest sims can give you the smooth frame rate ( 25 fps plus ) which you really need in order to clinch that Air to Air gun shot or Carrier landing.

It's the shared and common experiences we have had in flight sims that make the Museum a special place. So, don't be shy! Add a comment to an article.
