Did love playing games when I was younger (all sorts really lol, though are multiples I remember I really liked Duke Nukem being one of them, is one I still play lol and they've finished it I think as well, took them ages to finally actually finish developing it). One thing I still like I prefer the term using (but really its playing lol) since you dont really (apart from the challenges) have to do anything, the game I'm talking about is Microsoft Flight Sim (or flight simulators in general), is Microsofts oldest game title for 40 years now (well sort of) its existed for 40 years but not always Microsofts (was actually first developed for the Mac).
(More for learning to use the FMC in a PMDG bought addon 737-800 airplane I think they are the 800 series lol)
Something I wanted to mess around with was a space sim, I mean the crafts part rather was something called Microsoft Space Sim but never took off (makes sense as can't imagine there being much call for it to be honest), but found a true to physics (says something like fed up of space simulators insulting your intelligence (or words to that effect) as their kind of explanation for it), its really quite impressive and developed as a side project for least a physicist at UCL in London.
Didn't think they'd included the flight decks for Atlantis the Orbiter (rather was the name of the craft flown, when has least the fuel tank was Orbiter and possibly the SRB's but I can't quite remember about the latter).
Used to be just the HUD with the needed commands, or could have included the flight deck a while back before 2016 and maybe I never switched to that, oh well. Though lacks least some of the guidance system like when to flare when landing on a runway (actually evidently did since least 2006 as its shown above lol).
