"I liked the way that it had the correct stars at night, and you can navigate by them. Actually, playing during "daylight" was slower, so I always flew at night. I loved the low level turbulence - this sim had the best feeling of flight until Su-27 Flanker 2.0."
Proflight was the first flight sim I had seen since the Apple ][ in 1982. I had bought an Atari ST to arrange and print music for my string quartet and included in the package was a demo of this amazingly fluid sim, running at 600 x 400 pixels (in monochrome). There began my true flight sim addiction.
