Tomahawk on the spectrum, Once you got past that lenslok think that was almost as hard as the game Or Combat Lynx by Durell was it? both cools as.
Then onto Amiga and the hayday of sims, Micropose games too many to mention but Gunship 2000 was ace. Fighter bomber was another good amiga gaem as well.
PC games once i got past Janes USAF it was all just too complex. LOMAC looked amazing and I really wanted to play it but it was just too much to learn.
