Does remind me of EAW but it's Janes WW2F. Not my screenie, only had it installed briefly after getting it second hand in a boxed set with bright pink CDs which included something called MechWarrior, which I don't think was a combat flight sim I really liked the excellent planes and that 'target camera' window, but by then I was still hooked on EAW.
F-16 Agressor it is, probably not a lot of people had it, as it didn't have a very mainstream setting, unlike Falcon 4 - IIRC, it had a strange backstory about being a mercenary F-16 pilot in Africa. Not a jetsim player myself, so this will have been a bargain bin purchase, in the days game shops had such things.
Now, here's a tricky one for you. Likely, you'll either remember it instantly, or not have a clue.
It's 'Combat Wings - Battle of Britain', which I must have got in the bargain bin and rarely played. It has cockpits but seems decidedly at the arcade end of simming. The London textures look quite good from altitude, though.
That's it! Still looks good and fun to play, could have been the basis for a more serious sim perhaps, tho some of its planes did make it into a serious sim, namely First Eagles...
So staying with aviation but winding the clock well forward, which sim is this?
That is all to familiar 33lima. I spent 100s of hours in that Mig29 trying to master it. I got really good, but after years of flying in a Squadron, Fulcrum Sqaud, I found out that people all throughout that Sim world were cheating and altering the FMs to enable them to beat others. Even people that I flew with in Fulcrum Sqaud were cheating. I always wondered why I could never quite compete at the levels that other were, even in my own Squad. I was severely pissed when I finally found out, as most of us moved on to IL2 and the Hyperlobby Community. Once I found rampant cheating in IL2 a couple of years later, I was pretty much finished with online flight sims. Still lots of good memories from when I ignorantly tried so hard to compete on top tier levels in this SIm. Those pics I shared, Andy started Fulcrum Sqaud and Billy & I join in the first year and actually met in real life as you now know. Ah, the good old days. Back OT, I won't answer this one so as to see if any others remember. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

33lima, just a reminder, schedule eye doctor appointment. Novalogics' Mig 29, F16 and F22. Individual sims but all able to fly in Novaworld MP online. It is still on steam I beleive.
Well no more takers there but the clue was in Blade's post - it's Novalogic's Mig-19 Fulcrum, which I quite enjoyed for its decent visuals and accessible rendition of air to air and air to ground systems like CCIP bombing, IIRC.
