Do you have a flight sim in mind?  You have about 30 years' worth to choose
from, and most of those will work on whatever platform through emulation or
virtualisation.  Only if you need the absolute latest versions is your
choice of platform going to be restricted by performance.

Do you need Corel Draw specifically, or will something like Xara or Inkscape
do?
