Descent came out in 1995. It used a software-rendered 3D polygonal
engine.

All of the following games used a software-rendered fully 3D polygonal
engine:

Tie Fighter (1994)
X-Wing (1993)
F-15 Strike Eagle III (1992)
F-117 Stealth Fighter 2.0 (1991)
Falcon 3.0 (1991) 
Dragon Strike (1990)
Red Baron (1990)
A-10 Tank Killer (1989)

Ultima Underworld, which was an RPG (not even a flight sim), preceded
Descent by 2 years with a fully 3D engine.
