1. Get the Microsoft flight simulator 2020

It’s not that expensive and light years better. Buy the cheapest one and you will be set.

2. I used to use DosBox for old 1995 games

such as Ascendancy, and Conquest of the New World.

If you are playing a 1980 game, I give you credit. Is it a CGA 4 color game?

4. I bought Microsoft's Flight Simulator for MS7 many years ago...

I absolutely loved it.

I had the basic knowledge of flight, but not the details. That program was amazing.

I really think that in an emergency I could fly a single engine plane, and probably even land it safely. (Hope that never happens, but could)

I practiced until I could land a single engine Cessna on the aircraft carrier in San Francisco Bay, and then take off and fly back to my original take-off spot.

I'm not a certified pilot, but I did sleep in a "Motel 6" last night.
