Top 2025 Combat Flight Simulators

[Animl-AW]

Animl will you for the love of Christ drop being such a clown when someone dare mention a different sim on the BBS than AcesHigh.

You are a constant annoyance and detraction from AcesHigh with your particular style of ineffective drunken uncle back seat moderation.

HiTech moderates what is acceptable for discussion on the BBS, not you. HiTech is clearly comfortable and confident in his product enough to allow these conversations, who gives a toejam what DCS do Eagle Dynamics can suck my balls.

Can no one person get it through to you that at least? You are not helping, being such an ass-hat and using terms such as "find a home" is clearly telling people to leave take their money away from AcesHigh.

Just stop being you for a month, for the love! Holy diddlying toejamballs!

I was not the first one, twit. You talk too much for a former player. Only non-playing non-paying former players condone it, you’re out numbered.
Ma couple here feed stray dogs, thats it. Fool #7 OTW

Is there anything AH can do for this guy?

The laws on involuntary psychiatric commitment vary by state. 
I suggest contacting your local health official.

Take a McDs bag into Burger King, let us know what you learn.

We’ll be into DCS soon enough, don’t worry

Worse yet, go to DCS board and try? It will a deleted within 5  min.

Oh, thats right, thats why they vomit here.

Come here, talk about DCS until ridiculed for being a mutt, come to Oclub, post worthless social post to wedge back in, talk about DCS until they’re ridiculed for being a mutt, rinse snd repeat.

Low class, low maturity

Some here enforced it not happening on AW boards, locking or deleting, I was tasked with reporting it by the same. Its ok now, its not their backyard, My first month here I mentioned AW and got punished. Lets not ACT like we don’t understand

Ya, I can’t figure out why either

Seek help.

[Animl-AW]

Seek help.

I guess I should have used your quotes.

Back stabbing knives are out

Glad I quit wasting my time. My life won’t change much.

I answered a question from Dad abbot Shane.

Good luck

That could have been HTC's Pacific War all the way back in 2019.

Better, more intuitive interface.

Better  more intuitive gameplay design. 

Single player campaign to jump into first and play while you learn the basics.

MP environment that looks like it would make more sense to a noob.  Two teams.  Red team and blue team.

Free to play..pretty funny..

LoL.

Now compare that to golf.

Or worse, boating.

But yeah, it's a money hole and a hardware hog.  Like MSFS. 


[Edit]  However, even with a cheap twisty joystick, the free A4 mod, and free SU-25, and the free Caucuses map will get you on several of the popular servers for nothin.  Everyone seems to love the A4 and the SU-25 is supposed to be quite capable in it's time genre if you learn it.  A good middling plane. 

I'd make the I-16 free if I were in charge. lol

Averaging about $250/mo on golf and our boat is in the shop (of course).

I'm building a new PC next month, and I can't wait to dive back in.  I tried learning on the A4 last summer, but the graphics I had to run pretty much was a buzz kill for me.  Probably just gonna get Flaming Cliffs until I decide what kind of pilot I want to be

In reality, from what I've gathered it winds up being cheaper than AH.  $14.95 x 12 = $179.40 per year (which is already the equivalent of buying two of the latest releases every year).  At least with DCS you get to choose what you spend your money on, so if you want to spend more/less you can. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong because I'm just stating what I've observed.

I don't own them, but people say the FC are a good deal and a good on-ramp to DCS. 

A couple of years ago they upgraded them to use the full professional flight model so the only difference now is in the level of cockpit interactivity and the depth of the systems simulation.  If you care more about the flying than the innards and electronics, they are probably the best bang for the buck.

And I don't expect to spend that much time on DCS.  It'll just be another game I play when all my friends are not online, so I'll probably just spend my time fighting bots anyway    I just want to scratch the itch I have to fly modern a/c.  Also heard the F-16 is under-modeled, which is disappointing if true.

I was refering to the I-16 some goofy russian plane: 

No one but me is stupid enough to pay money for that so that should be one of the freebies.

I haven't heard about any problems with the f-16 but it seems most prefer the f-18 because it is carrier based I guess.

For the occasional jet itch, I just stick with the free A4 though if you are going to spend money, the Flaming Cliffs 4 is your best deal I think.

[Animl-AW]

I’m so crazy to think it would evolve into you kniw what. All his post are vehickes.

With AH you can play the game and afford to play golf or boat.

No that sim is not cheaper if you have to upgrade your gear to fly with any real detail. Anyone who says diff is lying. And thats before you buy planes.

5h grade math, folks. Its just 5th grade math doesn’t have an obsessed grifter hiding major details in the equation, like gear and unsupported AC they sell anyway.

Ya those pesky details they don’t want to talk about. But wait, there’s more in the next click bait post from those who haven’t played AH in 11-12 yrs.

No batteries included.

Should they have asked your permission first before posting?
