Update: I purchased a Thrustmaster FCS Joystick and downloaded the Sky Gamblers arcade WWII flight game. Did the tutorials, and through lots of trial and error am getting the hang of it.... sort of. My question is this. When I try and land the plane, upon the final approach before touchdown, the...

I'm an old fart, retired 3 years ago. When I graduated from HS in the early 70's, video games were in their infancy. Pong and PAC Man seemed to set the standard. So while I was in college, there just wasn't that much available, and I didn't have time for that sort of thing. Although studying...

HBZK100, Thanks, I also considered "War Thunder", which was suggested by another. In your informed opinion, do you think my computer has the capability to run it? I described the characteristics of my computer in my first post if that helps.

Zloth, Thanks for your insight. Unlike most of you, I've never been a true gamer, just kind of dabbled once in a while. You folks are educating me on your world. I thought most of you popped a CD into your machines and settled in to play. I have realized that is not the case any more. I was...

My computer is about 5 years old with intel (R) core (TM) i5-4440 CPU @3.1 GHz (RAM) 12.0GB, 64 bit operating system X 64 based processor, HD graphics 4600. Was recently upgraded to Windows 10. Don't know what any of this means, but I bet you do.
