Yep I love FSX there are a couple of groups out there on line that are really good.  FSXFLEET  are all military, and they have some really good birds, Alaska airways is another good group and again they have some good planes to fly.  But unless you get the superbug you can't drop rounds or lock on, there are some good radar birds out there.  My team built a great E2-C Hawkeye, with working air to air radar.  There is a lot of groups out there that a fun to fly, I just got tired of the politics.

Well, that's debatable.

For pure flight characteristics and realism, the edge goes to FSX.

However Aces High has it beat in combat simulation and online experience.

I love both games.
