I played the heck out of this game back in 1991.  I still hope someone makes a modern version with on-line play!

Remember playing this one?

The "There I was in my..." scenarios, where you chose the fighter and you picked the bad guy planes were my favorite.

Some of the historical engagements were very good as well.

Never played that one, but in that era I put a ton of time into Red Baron and Aces over Europe...  Those career modes were one of my favorite gaming experiences of all time.

They have it LePaul, in DCS.  Bit more involved though.

Perhaps I should download the demo and try DCS out

Not sure my laptop's Intel HD 4000 would play it very well

The after-mission replay system remains one of the all-time best video players.  Super easy to use, and the 3D wireframe block with both the aircraft traces and the line across the ground made it very very easy to see what really happened.

Nobody's gotten that right, since that game.  Not sure why the post-flight replay features from CYAC were never just copied.
