Hmm. He asked for "flight-sims like those on the IBM". That means, to me,
either Falcon (pretty easy graphic, but very detailed flight-model ...
not sure the processor could take it; you will certainly not find enough
people/time to do it) or Strike Commander (forget filled-polygon now :).
Or, if you wish, AOP .. not possible, either.

I'm not saying a flight-sim can't be done. I'm saying "a flight simulator
like those on the IBM" can't be done.
