Like F-18, F-22, Eurofighter, migs etc....

made recently and has good graphics and good gameplay! Joystick stuff!

any suggestions, it's been a long time since i've played any game like this

i think the last one i played was F-22 1 and that was probably 5 years ago.

I miss heat seaking missle and super sonic dogfights [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

I think the one I played was F-22 lightning 3... that game was amazing. There was a virtually lag-free multiplayer with like 20 people at once in the same game over a 28.8, and each team had their own runway, then occasionally you'd have the opposing team trying to bomb your base.. it was a ton of fun.

Ok modern stuff?

LOMAC, from what Ive seen doesnt seem to be good. However, this was based off 10 minutes in the demo and being yelled at by the russian equavilent of *****in' Betty.

The one I recomend is Falcon 4, but only with SuperPack 4. To get super pack 4, you must go to f4ut.frugalsworld.com I believe.

This is a fantastic mod for Falcon 4. The amount of complexity is astouding, and you will be quite overworked on attack run, just as the real pilots are.
For instance ot attack a tank with a Maverick:

- Fly the plane.
- Listen to the radio.
- Watch the instruments for any problems.
- Dont ram the ground.
- Put radar in correct mode (ground), then correct submode(for a target moving > 5 kph I think, you need it in Moving Target mode).
- Lock the target on using the radar.
- Select the maverick
- Power on the maverick
- Change MFD to WPN mode.
- Uncage the seaker head.
- Locate the target
- Lock on the target.
- Fire the missile.
- Dodge ground fire.
- Watch for enemy planes.

Keep in mind, you have about 5-6 seconds to do all this.

But dam its a good game [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

Note: its not all that modern, but its graphics do not detract from the gameplay at all. In fact they dont look all that bad.

Lock On is a decent game... just VERY buggy and requires a really powerful machine...

The only flight sim I have installed right now is YSFlight2000. It is free, but the graphics are old school. I find it pretty fun. Flight dynamics are simplified, but I get a kick out of it. You can fly combat missions, commercial flights, or just screw around. You can even simulate Blue Angels formations.

For anyone looking for a cheap bit of fun, Crimson Skies is brilliant - it's neither modern or high-tech, but it's easy,fun and stylised.

You can probably get it for a fiver now! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

I don't know about new games, but I just got me a new copy of Jet to replace the one that died in a bubble-gum filled floppy drive 10 years ago.

Isreali Airforce is quite a game. It's lots of fun, graphics are pretty up to date, and it seems pretty realistic to me.
