Even just an “early aviation” flight sim would be great. I recently went down a rabbit hole researching how US air mail worked in the 20s and 30s, before cockpit radios were really a thing. They constructed thousands of giant lighted beacon towers and concrete arrows on the ground to help pilots navigate.
something in between Kerbal space program and return to castle Wolfenstein.
a dude pedaling some kind of whirly gig bicycle aircraft chasing proto fascists floating uncontrollably in a balloon of their own design.
There were plans for a whole series of Kerbal games for boats and trains and planes.
All gone, like tears in rain.
I've seen things you Kerbals wouldn't believe. Kraken ships break down off the islands of Laythe. I watched MechJeb sail in the dark through the Tannhauser Strait. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Not quite early, but man am I feeling nostalgic now for "Jane's WW2 Fighters" on PC back in the late 90's. That game was awesome.
