Pacific Fighters, also by Oleg Maddox, is very good.

What we need is a good WWI flight sim with a dynamic campaign.

pac fighters IS good

if you are into it, try silent hunter - its a sub sim tho

Falcon 4.0. That game was scary. More to the point the manual was scary.

*wishes he knew somewhere he could buy it. I can't find my copy anymore.

Have you already tried the Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator? It's been out for several years now. I enjoyed it even though some bug always caused it to quit recognizing my joystick at the least opportune moments.

MS Combat Flight Simulator 2 is very good and comes with a good mission builder. Additionally there are many, many excellent freeware planes, missions, scenery add-ons and campaigns available for it at the Sim Outhouse and elsewhere.

MS Combat Flight Simulator 3 is also very good, but needs a much more robust system to run it than does CFS 2 and has some annoying stupidities, which have to be scripted out by the user. For example, in the Quick Combat and Freeflight modes the game automatically spawns enemy airfields and ground vehicles in anomalous places, e.g. Tiger tanks in Sussex

. A mission builder for it is downloadable from MS. There is a growing number of freeware planes (many of them 1%, ie they perform within 1% of the specifications of the real aircraft) and campaigns available for CFS 3 (including Korean War and World War I campaigns).

Lock On Modern Air Combat is great for current aircraft and has an easy-to- use mission builder.

I just bought Falcon 4: Allied Force today. If my original (North American) F4 CD will work in your Down Under machine I'll fly it off to you. PM me and we'll set it up.

Have a question for you all.

I'd like to know if the MP is any good in flight sims, particulary in Il-2 Forgotten battles, without the expansion pack.

It's been lying on my desk for the past 6 months, and I thought I'd give it a go - especially the MP, which I've never done before with the game.
