Flight simulators are among the most niche of the niche games. They focus on a particular genre (flying combat) and take it to such an extremely realistic level that most players can't get into the game. However, there is one flight simulator that manages to be both realistic and fun to a general audience. Released in 2001 by Ubisoft, it was before a time of restrictive DRM and needless DLC, and even now sits as an example of what continued support can do for a game's legacy. I'm talking about IL-2 Sturmovik, and its attention to detail in every aspect of the game makes it a classic of the flying combat genre.
