Does "online" include games with multiplayer support?

 If so, I've played FA1 through FA2.5, AH, and very briefly WB3. Also EAW MP mode and IL2~AEP MP mode.

 I never liked jets as my love for aircraft stays strictly with WW2 era planes.. so I haven't played much jet sims.. and the last helicopter sim I've played was "Gunship" for DOS more than 10 years ago.

 ..

 The best in the entire category of "WW2-era air combat simulation" genre, I'd have to say, is FB/AEP.

 The best as a strict MMOG, is no doubt AH.

I think there's only been 4 online flight sim games.

Air Warrior
Warbirds
Fighter Ace
Aces High

Now, my favorite flight sims out of all the ones I've tried are:

WW1 - Red Baron
WW2 - Aces High
Korea - Chuck Yeager's Air Combat
Vietnam - Chuck Yeager's Air Combat
Modern Jets - USNF/Jane's Fighters Anthology

Aces High

Not much into jets, havn't really flown them since the old A10 Cuba over Kali days.

Comanche vs Werewolf was good.
Was disappointed in Comanche 4.

You left out WWI Sims.

Flying Circus was great back when.
Target Flanders is coming along nicely considering its still in beta.

How is targetware coming along...seems like it's picking up steam from the # of times its mentioned...need to revisit it again I guess.

I loved red baron. really really loved it.  Wish someone would create a game with the same playability as that, ability to request squadron transfer, paint your aircraft when you are an ace, diversity of missions (did it also have ace challenging as well? where other aces challenged you to a duel or was that a different game?)

I also loved the original B17 on my Amiga 500+.

So my 4 fav. sims (no catagory) would probably be this:-

1. Aces High
2. Red Baron
3. B17 Flying fortress
4. Flying Corps Gold

Make sure & give Targetware a bash guys. For many, it won't replace AH but if you like it challenging & enjoy a learning curve, you will be right at home.

After some 2 years involved to date, I STILL enjoy just taking my Beaufighter up from Wau airfield to do circuits & improve my general flying :)

Its a community effort over there & the level of involvement by enthusiasts of 2D, 3D, research & dev has been increasing impressively. Features coming down the pipe are likely to blow you away ;)

Personally, all online sims have aspects I like but as a realism junky, theres only one online air combat sim for me :)

Cheers all.
