Some of you do online gaming. Maybe I should have started with that but didn't. My criteria was to fully own my own game, which is my own software, and my own property, after my own extensive purchases, and paid for with my own money. To be able to play offline and have backups in case any particular company or the entire internet went out of business and I lose the game, uh, because those things happen.

Y'all should check out FlightGear. Free software (libre) as well as free (gratis), cross platform, world maps w/ accurate air ports, the possibility of multiplayer and ATC, planes from vintage warbirds up through modern jets, etc.
Really good system. I've been to a game dev conference and seen a set up using multiple monitors and a old arcade cabinet to make a truly immersive experience for flying a tail-dragger, complete with pedals and control stick.
