Actually, Microsoft Flight Simulator runs just fine.  You get a really
fast frame rate, and the flying equations are all based on real time so
it flies correctly.  (With the 68030 cache on, the screen flickers... I
assume there's an assumption in the double-buffering code like, "It
can't possibly take less than X time to draw a frame," and on the TT it
does take less than X.)
