You might want to try Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer.  Although it was
ported from a PC product (and parts of the interface show it), it's sharp and
definitely more than a toy - most of the simulations are of military planes,
including some that were designed but never built(!)  With an SE/30, it's fast
enough to seem almost-kind-of like really flying.  However it definitely needs
color to be worthwhile.  I just got a NEC 3D monitor, with a Micron 8-bit card,
which may be as sharp as you'll get without forking out the big bucks for an 
Apple monitor.  It works well for me.
