Best Modern Air Combat Sim(s)?

[Urwumpe]

Anyone try Flanker 2.0? (yea I know its dated, but its latest one I have)

Its pretty nice except you can only fly the Mig 29 or the Flanker 27 / 37

Flanker 2.0 is the predecessor of Lock-On, both are made by the same programmers, but Lock-On uses an updated engine.

Lock-On has as player planes:

• F-15C
• A-10
• Su-27
• Su-33
• Mig-29
• Su-25

So, there is enough to choose from.

What makes Lock-On pretty nice is that the other units around are made very detailed and complex. Tanks and artillery move and fire, Helicopters are done pretty nice and I once even set up a full-scale battle between two carrier groups. Cities can get damaged by combat (easily) and destroying bridges stops convoys.

Aw damn just a while ago I had an AMAZING WW2 combat sim on my comp. IT had online multiplayer. Tanks + Fighters + Bombers + Boats. You could organize your own bombing missions and recruit bombers and fighters to defend you. IT was like a neverending battle cuz the point of it is to capture all of the enemies bases (there are like 100 for each map XD). FORGOT THE NAME!!! >:/

that would have sounded fun to play but i guess no on here can cuz you FORGOT THE NAME. i don't want to be mean but jst explain to me how if you liked it so much forgot the name

It sounds like either Fighter Ace or Aces High II. I have had free trials for both of these games on my computer at one time or another. (could hardly tell any difference between them )

YouTube - Janes combat simulation USAF intro

:lol: I still have the submarine warfare sim from Janes Combat Simulations! (and still play it every now and then on my old 95 )
I believe Frying Tiger, creator of the Delta Glider, used to work for Janes.

Not directly for Janes, but for Sonalysts (Who really are behind "688i Hunter/Killer"). The people who also gave you such beautiful drugs like "Dangerous Waters"
