The only good flight simulators I know are The Flight Simulator II and a 
game/simulation of helicopter called Thunderchopper (from Action Soft which
I believe is a sub-section of SubLogic, correct me if I am wrong.) I do have
a Flight Simulator II that works with both 1 MHz or 3MHz approx machines.
That is, I gave a friend of mine (who's both a Flight Simulator fan and a 
genius cracker, though, he only deprotects programs for friends) my original
copy of FS II. He then deprotected it, fixed some bugs, added couple *new*
functions (and still occupy just one side) so I can use it with my "Zip"ed
//c.  What I am trying to say is that it is not too hard to sublogic to make
a new version of FS II that can be adjusted to different system speed. I don't
mean that I am going to make copies for you guys as it has copyright. 
 
Just mention some modifications my friend added or modified to my FS II:
o fast system speed/normal system speed
o turbo flight (24 time faster, but you don't see scenaries, just the
  horizontal line)
o save customer mode on 35th track (so you don't need another blank disk)
o back up copier for scenario disk which deprotects as it copies.
  (not finished yet when I left Buenos Aires, so it's still inactive)
o some bugs fixed

I myself is also a flight simulation fan. (I prefer to fly a realy plane, but 
my eyes don't allow me to do so.)
