Recommendation for combat flight sims

Falcon 4.0 is good but there's lots of stuff going on in the cockpit.

I always liked Xwing myself.  That could be a lot of fun for you.  Somewhere I found a place to download all the old Xwing series in one pack.

Jane's AH64D Longbow was super awesome, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere in a really long time.

Keep your head down over there and stay healthy.  Remember not to give the crappy kids anything.  They'll just demand more and cause problems.

Yenny, if you have time to kill and like jets, check out Falcon 4 AF.  I'm very impressed by the AI and the detail of the sim, even if the graphics are a little dated.  You will need to do a lot of reading just to understand the basics, but I'm sure you could handle it.  The most important thing is to have the radar modes mapped to your stick, especially the different ACM modes.  SA is completely different than what you're used to in AH; it's almost entirely based on instruments.  I've watched someone who knows what he's doing and he very rarely leaves the forward cockpit view.

If you want WW2 combat, then like others have said, go for Il-2 1946.
