Not only do we have DCS v1.5 (which is great), but the BMS group has just released Falcon 4 v4.33!!!
And if that wasn't enough, Battle of Stalingrad is out with summer/fall terrain!
And if bored, there's the fantastic Cliff of Dover. And for WWI folks, RoF.
Plus the original IL-2 (and all derivatives), Strike Fighters, etc.
Space freaks (like me) are also enjoying Elite Dangerous.
My God, next Fighter Ops will put something out...
This is cool!

Agreed. The simple pleasure of flying any one of a large variety of aircraft, in some pretty darn good environments, is readily available. This is why, in about 6 weeks, I will have a room with no purpose other than flight simming.

The only thing missing is a really good, complete, modern, WWII Pacific Theater sim.

We're still missing a really good modern Korean and Vietnam era simulator, too... Would give everything for one of those!

Yup, SF was a bit too light. Plus, it's getting really old, and starting to show it badly.

It's my understanding though that the Team Fusion patches only fix the multiplayer (head to head) aspect of the game. Well, in short... Nope. It adds a great deal of everything for everyone. From tweaks to Flight Models to- well you name it, it's in there... I only flown it offline and I can't find a single negative thing to say. Well, maybe that the Campaign engine is a bit light. But that's being taken care of too... Give it a spin.
