Hello!
Although I'm not exactly new to flight simming, most of my experience was in MMOL WW2 sims many, many years ago, along with a little bodding around in Flight Gear and X-plane for good measure. But I've always had an interest in the civilian aircraft up to the 1940's. and my idea of a fun time in a civilian flight sim would be to try flying a HP42 from London down to South Africa, or a Ju52 across the Alps, between grass airfields, or maybe a Do X flying around the Baltic, navigating with paper maps and Mk1 eyeball. No modern sophisticated radar and automatic landing systems desired...
Is there a game which can reasonably easily provide this? Please note - I use Linux exclusively, Linux Mint being my OS of choice. I don't mind having to learn reasonably detailed engine control systems (I've far more experience with systems that just had throttle and propellor pitch available), and it could be nice having occasional mechanical failures to contend with, although not essential.
I look forward to your replies,
Thanks in advance!
