531 Ghost Contributing Editor Hotshot Registered: 09/17/02 Posts: 9700 Loc: Elizabeth City NC	If you had one or all of these flight sims and you only had time to devote to a single one, what one would you focus on, and why... Rise Of Flight IL2 1946 Combat Flight Simulator (pick one) Flaming Cliffs Janes F/A 18 Strike Fighters Project 1 Strike Fighters Project 2 with WOE and WOV DCS Black Shark DCS A10C Warthog FSX BMS 4.32 _________________________ Originally Posted By: Abraham Lincoln America will never be destroyed from the outside.

Weaponz248 Hail To The King Baby!! Member Registered: 06/07/11 Posts: 1547 Loc: Germany( Milwaukee, WI)	DCS A-10C. Its the current jet I work on. So it is real easy to get good visuals plus believe it or not I now understand what pilots are talking about when they have weapons issues. Also IMO its the best of the best right now. _________________________ "Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.

Para_Bellum Oberkriegkaboomführer Hotshot Registered: 01/18/01 Posts: 5889 Loc: Germany	DCS:A-10C. The level of detail and realism is amazing, I love complex sims and the devs continue to make it even better. For me it's the best combat flight sim since the original IL2. Runner-ups: FSX, because with all the addons it's a flightsimmer's dream. Rise of Flight, because the feeling of actual flight is probably the best I've ever encountered in a sim. _________________________ "...late afternoon the Air Tasking Order came in [and] we found the A-10 part and we said, "We are going where!?

JAMF Frugalite & P-38 fan Senior Member Registered: 05/29/10 Posts: 2778 Loc: The Netherlands	Focus for me would be on IL2: 1946 The period is interesting, the 'kill' in a dogfight is a result of the aircraft, your skill and your opponent's. The mods and the online experience with a wingman are a big plus. The engine is old, the cockpits could have been more detailed (3D models) and the skin textures seen from the cockpit could (should) have been a higher resolution than those you couldn't see from the cockpit, but the fun in flying makes up for the blemishes.

Sauron Successor to Bill the Cat! Hotshot Registered: 11/09/09 Posts: 5872 Loc: Quantum Superstate	DCS: Black Shark. I love helicopters, and it's the current reigning champ. Of course, if someone did a Sea King, Sea Knight, or Sea Sprite study sim, I'd drop it like a hot potato. But until then... Cheers!

Clydewinder Mach 2 Infrared Orangutan Senior Member Registered: 10/09/00 Posts: 3196 Loc: New Berlin, WI United States	it would be hard for me to decide between Black Shark and F4 BMS... probably F4 though - there's just more stuff to do _________________________ "Whenever we depart from voluntary cooperation and try to do good by using force, the bad moral value of force triumphs over good intentions." -Friedman "Reason is not automatic.

And that's more or less what I'm looking for. A simple (lack of technical stuff) plane to fly, and blow stuff up. Thank you all. _________________________ Originally Posted By: Abraham Lincoln America will never be destroyed from the outside.
