could you give some tips on how to quickly get into playing (=flying) it?
the one time i tried, it wanted me to go through pre-flight checks...
also, there seems to be a lot of launchers for it. why?

Well instead of going through the checks I always run autostart from the plane's name menu.
The different launchers are just used to get the options (different planes, location,etc) in a command for FG, so people don't have to use Cli to start
I like Emilia Pinball (which didn't make the list). I also prefer games with more logic to them. fltkmm is a nice one and it's light so it works well on low resource systems.
emilia pinball unofficial just got an update: https://github.com/sergiomb2/pinball
the options menus are buggy as hell, but it's still the only linux native pinball afaics.
and the gnu table is kinda fun.
Always a hard choice for me because I enjoy all of:
Frets on Fire
Minetest
OpenTTD
SuperTux
SuperTuxKart
Voted for Minetest this year because I've been doing a lot of development/modding stuff with it and it's the newest addition to my list of favourite open source games. I voted for some of the others in previous years.
