Flight sim fans?

Who here plays flight sims?

I'm currently into Pacific Fighters (I've installed FB+AEP+PF, not just the wusses with standalone PF.) I'd like to dogfight someone here.

And yes, people who somehow derive enjoyment from MS Flight Simulator 2004 can post. But no landlubbers.

The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.

And now you can't even do that. It's good for pilot training (it can be hella realistic), not much else.

I like the more arcade style flight games, like the Ace Combat series. Sims are kind of boring to me though. I guess I would like them more if my joystick would fucking calibrate correctly .

I still have old Flight Sim 98 laying around here somewhere... I managed to download some planes for it that go beyond what the spedometer can read.

IL-2 Sturmovik is the best combat flight sim ever. I need Pacific Fighters so bad.

How is PF/IL2? Screenshots look good, and I tried it at a friends house...I think...it was quiite a bit ago. Can I hook up my joystick and fly around relativly easy? And are there "training" missions + campaign?

IL2 is anything but easy to fly around in.

I am getting PF tommorow, have IL-2 and its EXP packs, it is much harder to fly than most flight sims or arcadey types.
