Flight simulators for Amiga 600

Hi. I'd like to take away my pile of shame.

In the first half of the 90s, simulators were overwhelming me (as well as rpg and p & c). Now I would like to be able to look in the mirror and not avoid my eyes;).

Hence the question:

Which of the flight simulators can I run on the A600 and play without any problems without a numeric keypad. I am not interested in programs emulating additional keys.

I played a lot in the Gunship 2000 on the A600 and lived to see a lot of pensions.
Looking at your gear, you have a numeric keypad in 1200

Gunship 2000 (honey !!), F-117A Stealth Fighter (honey!), F-19 Stealth Fighter (also awesome).
I will add Birds Of Prey and you can come back in 2024 for more pins.

Thanks. It will be played. Are you sure no numeric? ??
Should I google the keyboard, is there a dedicated website?

I flew most of the six hundred in Combat Air Patrol.
Keyboard and numeric block. Excerpt from the manual:

"ROTATE EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL VIEW
(1-9)

As if an external camera was circling the aircraft to give a 360 degree view
angle. Note to A600 users: Where a numeric keypad is not available, number
keys 4-9 allow for a view manipulation. Key 4 immediately moves to the
internal or external views to a central / forward view. Keys 5-6 pan the
external views up / down. 7-8 Zooms in / out on both internal / external views and
9-0 rotates all views to the left / right. "

PS. You can play with a friend after the series.

In my opinion, one of the best: Gunship 2000, Birds of Prey. Wings can be discussed as a simple simulator, and even more arguably Desert Strike. Which does not make these games not great - on the contrary, in my opinion, they are some of the best for Amiga.

For these types of games, it is best to get instructions. Although nowadays it's getting easier. Sometimes you have the basics of flight in your manual, etc. Unless you know, for example, cancer. infrared decay. flares, what are metal strips, an artificial horizon, etc.

I suffered from Armor Geddon II the longest, and so did Elite a bit. there was a helicopter and a fighter at AG, and you know at Elite.
