Besides DCS, are there any other flight sims that you are currently playing? For several years now it's only been the IL-2 series. It's probably been about 5 years since I've played any flight sim besides DCS and IL-2.

Im honestly not even aware of any other SIMs. Now when I say SIM I mean the equivalent to DCS other than IL-s. Did you have any in mind?

We used to play Falcon 4 back in the day, but its been a LONG time since we've jumped into the F-16 cockpit.

Way back 18 yrs ago played Jane's fa18 with Bones then fs2004 and fsx I did dabble in il2. Took an 8 ur break from gaming and eventually returned to fsx, xp11, and now dcs. Xp11 was modeled and programmed by a real pilot and he would fly his own aircraft, notice things, and then get back in the programming and tweak it. Even though not a combat environment, simming in various commercial aircraft, flying Sids and Stars with real love atc on vatdim was a great experience and i will go back eventually. I also had in-cockpit sim training from a real world cfi who is now a good friend. I guess this is part why my oldest wanted to become a pilot.

Anyway, that's my short story.

I'm thinking about stuff like this:

Falcon 4
Rise of Flight
European Air War
Any of the "Strike Fighters" sims
Etc.


I think what this really illustrates is just how niche our military flight sim genre is. The bottom line is that this genre wouldn't even exist anymore if it wasn't for Eagle Dynamics and 1C Company.

I guess i gave too much info.

For me I play XP11 now and also somewhat learned to fly helos in Arma 3 (sometimes CAS). XP11 has kind of combat but not really from what I've read.

I was flying "combat" in FSX for a shile until a few years ago. I have the VRS Super Bug (F/A-18E Super Hornet complete with all the weapons and systems) and Aerosoft F-14 (complete with all the weapons and LANTIRN). Both good add-ons.

I would be interested in IL2 BoX and Rise of Flight, but no time. DCS, since the Falcon is now included, probably leaves no real reason to mess with Falcon and mods/derivatives.
