Need Help!! Looking for a good flight sim.

[BokkenMan25]

So I'm sitting here happily chugging my way through Empire at War (not bad, but needed mods to make it perfect) when I suddenly find myself longing for a engaging flight/space sim.

I grew up on flight sims. X-Wing (3.5 floppy version) was the first computer game I ever purchased and man! did I work the living hell out of it. I can still remember going through the campaign and killing 3 Star Destroyers with 1 Xwing. Then i moved on up to TIE Fighter and loved that game just as much.

After I got my feet wet on those, I remember installing games such as Strike Commander, all of the WIng Commander series, Freespace I and II, Privateer I and II, Starlancer, Freelancer and Falcon 3.0 (hated the graphics and sound, but loved the realism).

I've found myself checking nearby stores in various malls, but can't seem to find anything that piques my curiosity. I did try X2 (or was it X3) Reunion but it was on my old as dirt computer and played like crap.

As of late, I've tried to get into modern sims like Lock On and Falcon 4.0, but after a few
minutes of them they quickly get uninstalled and returned to the store as they just couldn't hold my attention.

I don't suppose any of you could recommend a decent flight/space sim?

Lockon and Falcon 4.0 dont hold your attention because you dont care to learn how to fly them.there both top flight sims by todays standards.If you dont like niether of them then i cant really reccomend any others.If your looking for one thats easy to pickup then you might want to try something like commanche 4

C4 was an interesting game; easy learning curve for anyone really [too easy imo]. I enjoyed for a short time the chopper upgrades/load out & the Hellfire missiles. I set C4 aside as missions became a bit predictable & game style turned arcadish. I heard it was best played in Multi form. A good gaming value when found for $10 though:thumbsup:

Ya thats the way it is with novalogic games the sp campaigns will bore the heck out of you but the multiplayer aspect tends to be great.Ive been a big deltaforce fan since day one.once again sp campaings suck but multi great.I have to say though deltaforce 1 and 2 plus blackhawk down the sp was solid.landwarrior,task force dagger not to hot.deltaforce extreme just remade all the df 1 missions with better graphics and sound effects.commanche 4 is fun as heck online.not sure if theres much of a community for it anymore though.heck i may just rebuy that.
