If you don't mind crappy graphics (by today's standards) and a mildly less than realistic flight model......European Air War from Microprose.  I think it's abandonware but I could be wrong.

Aces of the Pacific is still the best WWII air combat sim ever.

EAW was a really cool game.  There are some mods out there that do improve the graphics some but yeah, they are really outdated.

Well I got IL2 1946 and I did not really like it that much, the sound effects suck especialy when using the guns and thats quite a big thing for me lol, I dont really like the whole feel to the game, Im no expert with flight models Im still a noob to flight sims but AH2 feels so good, its probley because ive only played online games but I found the AI far to easy.

I got battle of Brittan 2 and its fantastic, the graphics are good and the game feels good.

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

Last post on the Oleg Maddux thread was December 31, 2008.

Personally, I'm wondering if BoB isn't just going to turn into Vaporware.
