@Nick the best bet you have for Vietnam era is the Thirdwire series of games they dont have the most highly detailed flight mechanics(not acardey by any means just not FSX) but at the same time they are fairly enjoyable to play.

http://www.thirdwire.com/project_sf2v.htm that is the Vietnam one I highly recommend that you get the mod Air & Ground War Expansion Pack http://combatace.com/files/file/1046...r-2011-update/ please note that you also have to get the previous packs for that mod. There is also Yankee Air Pirate which you must buy and I do not have the free mod listed above is quite good oh the joy of flying a 105 at 500 knots low and seeing the storm of 23mm,37mm,and 57mm fly all around you.

(that detail is not in the base game) Oh there are some Korean era mods possible with the series as well there are MiG-15s,F-84s,F-86s,Ourgans,Mysters,Vampires,Meteors to name a few.The mods add massively to this series to say the least.If it flew in the sky for a military from 1940 to today you can find it in some form.

They also have stuff covering 50,60,70 80 Cold War Europe and one covering Israel. Not bad sims for what you get with the mods in particular.

As to the base topic I agree PC gaming is not dead it is just more focused on sales via Down Loads though some like Madden are not around any more I suspect this is because most guys if they enjoy the sports games they have a 360 or PS3 for those and a PC for other games.I am middle of the road as to DLC I gave up on Rise of Flight because of it though for Fallout 3 and New Veags it does not bother me so much.Of course with Fallout you know that you are getting many hours of extra play time and new perks as well as gear and weapons with Rise you are getting a plane that maybe you will not enjoy flying or is not balanced against foes.It all depends on what the DLC costs vs. what I am getting.
