I was looking up my old posts and lo and behold I found this dusty nugget:

I'm really surprised no one has mentioned either X-wing versus TIE Fighter or the immortal Wing Commander series (esp 3 and 4) as those are awesome games which have options for cockpit and non-cockpit flight. Back in hs my friends and I would get on microsoft gaming network (haha remember that one?) and blast each other to bits in xvt as we flew epic battles where star destroyers fought calamari cruisers. Good times.
The WC series just about defined space combat for the years it lasted (with a few hiccups) and the fmv games, while cheesy in hindsight really helped bring one into the universe. Try to find these games and use dosbox if you need to.
I snatched up WC3 as soon as GoG started carrying it and just think it's worth reminding everyone how often the staff listen to the community. Not just the wishlisted games but also that nearly indefinable quality that sets GoG above the rest.
Thanks for looking out Guys and Gals of GoG!
Edit:Bolded for clarity.
