Recommendation for combat flight sims
« on: October 23, 2009, 06:35:41 AM »
Hey all,

I've been dying to play some combat flight sim game here. I'm at a COP so I don't have internet  :(. I'm looking for a recommendation for WWII combat flight sim. Only thing I could think of is IL-2 1946. If anyone could think of anything else please reply. Seeing these apache circling my AO all the time really get me jealous =)

At least as far as WWII goes, there's not much current out there so you don't have much choice to begin with if you want an actual SIM and not some arcade piece of trash.

Aces High is a pretty good one, or so I hear...    :headscratch:

Although the offline missions in version 2.16 are porked.

Guess that rules out Aces High.

There's these awesome things called cell phones, ya know. :D Some of them even have full-featured browsers. (The ones that don't are the ones that make a post have a cell-phone as an icon, like most of texasatc's posts)

If you had any, even intermittent web access, you could DL aces high, and the offline missions as I'm sure any problems with those will soon be sorted out.

Otherwise, I'd go with IL2.

You don't need internet to play Aces High offline missions.  :P

There's a whole library of them to play.

That should give some people a hint that he's in the sandbox known as the Middle East.

Yeah, I get it.

Iv'e also known some guys over there to be able to get on the internet from time to time.

Maybe long enough to download a few things, maybe not.

I covered both situations in my reply.

Well, not you Jimson since you did cover both but some people like OOZ662 and their comment although it was a reasonable thought.

huh, I thought Yenny was stationed in South Korea?

Oh well, I always like Microsoft Combat Flight Sim 3, was very cartoony, but had a pretty much unlimited campaign, that I played all the time, with a pretty good selection of planes, but nothing like AH.

If ya want, take a whack at that.

I NEVER figured that out...no matter what I did, Britain was always invaded and halfway taken over by the time I gave up...
