If so, which one? What's the best out there, currently.

Checked out any of the flight sim groups ?

There's some awesome add-ons for MS Flight Simulator including
multiple screen support. You'll need mutliple PCs and a server
though. :-)

Hm.. Just an update, seems MSFS2004 has multimonitor support
both through a single videocard with dual-screen capability,
or using multiple videocards.

Aces High is the best online sim. WWII.
Many real pilots fly there.
It was also a real Lancaster pilot (Dresden) i dont know if he is still =
there.
15 dollars a month, but it worth it, even the double.
Stop to talk, come to fly and die

I've got MSFS, and also once was paid to play with military-class
full-motion simulators (including Harrier).

I'd like to offer a simple test for whether any device is a game or a
"real" flight simulator - can it give you white knuckles?


That said, even if PC sims are not "real", they should certainly
be counted as valid training aids.


A valid training aid yes. But a very limited one that is never a substitute for
actually flying. White knuckles? Never. But I think that many here have never
experienced white knuckles or anything close.White knuckles is what you get
10,000 feet over the Ruhr valley with a sky full of 88's. Not on a PC.

I can't say whether that would give me white knuckles or not, but it'd probably
give me brown underwear...

I would say plenty of both. And never to be forgotten memories. That was
flying. PC's don't quite cut it in those terms..

I enjoy a WWII sim called "Forgotten Battles"

They have modeled most of the Russian, American, British and German combat
aircraft.

They left out the B-26. ;-)

Check out http://www.il2sturmovik.com/

and the comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.flight-sim newsgroup.

Only REAL MEN flew the B-26. And only the B-26 could scare the **** out of the
elephant.(grin)

Art, Aces High has the B-26, and a bombsight that requires calibration.
It has the A-20G too, solid nose, no bombsight, but it's a strafing monster,
and as agile as some of the fighters to boot, especially after you burn off some
fuel and drop your ordnance.
