Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer is a 1988 flight simulator by Electronic Arts for the CPC. Aircrafts in the game include the Bell X-1, the SR-71 Blackbird, the P-51 Mustang, the Cessna 172 Skyhawk, the F-16, and the F/A-18.
Some people consider this the best—or at least most realistic—flight sim for the CPC.[1] The focus is completely on aerobatics, there are no weapons or battles in the game.
The sim has a nasty Speedlock copy protection mechanism that fails with some emulators, so it might be necessary to use a modified version.
How to fly
The manual is comparatively hefty at 50 pages, but there is a way to get airborne quickly: Hit Escape, and select e.g. "Location -> 10,000 ft" from the menu. You can also pick a different plane in the menu.
