I really miss a good flight Sim, used to play them loads in the late 90`s early 2000`s but they seem to have gone of the grid?

Anything decent thats been released recently?

Anything on the horizon.

My favourite was Falcon 3.0

I install flight sim x every once in a while and dust my joystick off.

Get right into it for a week then get bored and put the joystick away again.

So no military ones recently? I think a decent flight sim would take me away from my xbox and convince me to build a gaming PC.

Simon, what game are those screenshots from?

IL2 is still pretty popular, LOMAC was supposed to be good, but was a bit of a let down tbh
