I, too, spent many hours playing FS on my ST (along with F-16 Falcon, which taught me it was maddeningly hard to dogfight)...
My grandfather used to joke that if I was ever on a plane and the pilots were suddenly incapacitated--say, Airplane!-style--I would rush into the cockpit and exclaim, "It's okay! I know how to fly this! Now, where's the mouse?"
Ah, memories.
ETA: Some of it must have stuck as I was able to successfully take off and land a little prop plane in a full-cockpit simulation. Not anywhere like a jet, but it felt nice to be back in the seat.
Hatari can also emulate a 32 MHz Atari TT, which plays this game at a pretty sweet frame rate--Flight Simulator was intelligent enough that for the most part it didn't rely on the processor clock for timing, so it adapts smoothly.

Huh! Nice.
