Too damn true!

Oooh, thanks for the recommend, have bookmarked and will investigate.

In turn, might I recommend 'Cold War, Hot Wings' by Chris Bain.

Forgot to mention about birds of steel, there are little people on the ground, fighting each over, and they die when you shoot/ bomb them! also there are three difficulty levels:
Simplified:Arcade type mode, unlimited boost, bombs and ammo
Realistic:limmited bombs and ammo, black outs flap control required
Simulator: No friend or foe identification, no target camera, confined to cockpit mode, also you need to adjust every little thing manually.

Old fellers are likely gone to bed already but, Red Baron 2!

Mostly playing IL-2 and WoE (NATO Fighters) at the moment. I've got DCS World and the A-10 module bought but not installed, waiting until I build a new box for that. And get my hands on a HOTAS.

My personal favorites (can't believe they weren't mentioned by anyone) are LB2 and Jane's FA/18. When I found my new pc couldn't /wouldn't let them run, I went out and bought a "retro" Gateway P2 and a copy of Win98 SE, along with a Voodoo graphics card, just so I could run those two again. Hours and hours of pure enjoyment for me.

Reading through some of the posts, I feel kind of old...my greatest flight sims... well my first big love was "F-19 Stealth Fighter" on the C64, then I guess on the Amiga "F-18 Intercepotor", "Battle Hawks 1942", "Their Finest Hour: The battle of Britain", "Tornado", "Flight of the Intruder" and one of my all time best "Combat Pilot" - my best friend and I even hooked up our Amigas to fly head to head (the crash box was like 300m, but we didnt care). On the PC I would say that "The secret weapons of the luftwaffe", Falcon 3 and 4, IL2 (and 1946), Rise of Flight, the DCS series and of course Flanker stands out! I have bought and owned pretty much every sim that has come out since the late 80s and I will contiune buying/flying until the day I die!

Salute all you fellow "airmen", may your skies always be blue.
