Flight Sims

[XxCrashxX]

I just got a sweet new saitek joystick with throttle and Ive got a few free flight sims like YSflight and Flight gear, and I was wondering if anyone knew about some better flight sims, free or not. Particularly Im interested in one that has the entire US, that you can fly over (like flight gear), and realistic flight and planes

thx

"Lock On" for modern air combat or "Combat Flight Simulator" for WW2 those are the best imo.

Do not buy M$ Flight Simulator 2004... when you hit the ground you just bounce right back up. Not much of a simulator if you can't even crash =/.

heh, well Ill keep that in mind

so far Ive been happiest with YSflight, its very simple and the graphics are terrible but the physics are top notch, as well as the controls

That by itself doesn't ruin the game, and you can change the realism settings so it doesn't do that. FS2004 is a good game, especially when you download a bunch of planes and stick it in the game . It is a bit of a hardware whore though.
