I hate Flight Sim as I even bored as my friends play them (but then I revenged boring them with fantasy RPGs

)!!!

Yeah two genres that some people just don't like are Flight sims and rpg

Another is the strategy game but i'm more into these than i used to be which is perhaps down to having a better head for it now.Some nice and not too compicated strategy games for Amiga like Deutros, Supremacy, Utopia, K240 etc and maybe one day i may even attempt UFO as right now my brain would likely implode trying to figure it out

Well, true flight sims require at least some reflexes and decent brain activity so it's perfectly normal not to expect everyone meet the specs....

IMHO, the most important in FS is mastering good focus on events...from personal experience that could be quite challenging...

I really liked F-15, one of my favourite Amiga games back then. I could never land the plane, so instead I crashed it near the carrier and ejected. I never made it more than three missions before they stopped giving me new twenty million dollar aircraft, and assigned me a desk job.

The big flight sim back then was F-117A, a stealth fighter sim. One of the great things about F-15 is that it definitely wasn't a stealth fighter sim. You were actively encouraged to blast your way through, pick dogfights with enemy aircraft, and take out extra ground targets. You could shoot up anything you wanted without worrying about being spotted, because you weren't a stealth fighter anyway, and if anything came for you, you could shoot that up too.

Yes, F-15 SE2 from Microprose was a fun to play. Shame they never released F-15 SE3 for Amiga, it was a killer flight sim on PC, on par with Falcon3. From present perspective, early '90 were so forgiving for stealth fighter sims just because stealth was a cash-able buzzword. Get that with a Desert Storm campaign and you have a winner.
I agree, there's no point in hiding with F-15. It rulez even now.

P.S.
Check out my avatar. That's F-15E selecting Zone5 while recovering from simulated A2A manouvering. Enemy pilots having exactly the same picture in their rear views are in an inherently bad position

If everyone had an 060 in their Amiga's then T.F.X. would win for sure. However, for playability and a good poly-count on a 68000 I would say Gunship 2000. If you ran it on a 1200 it was pretty smooth too!
