Tried out "FlightGear" which is a nice freeware flight simulater which includes for example 20000 real world airports, has accurate placing of scenery.... . There are versions for different operating systems like Linux, Solaris, Windows, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, IRIX.
I play MS combat flight sim. There are web sites you can download planes, and ground objects. Only played it online once, as the players on the sever are as good at that, as we are at shooting one another on the ground. MS have made a sequel CFS2 not tryed that though. I also have euro fighter Typhoon but graphix are not up to much would not recomend it unless you realy want to fly a Typhoon. I am downloading flight gear now will report what I think of it soon.
I have downloaded flight gear, but my aircraft pulls to the right down the runway. I have tried to correct it with rudder & brakes, but they seem to have no effect. Has any one downloaded this program & had the same problem? It could be my fighter joystick, it's gr8 for fighter sims but my be no good for normal air sims.
This might be to late to respond to this thread but here it is anyways.... IL2 Sturmovik, this game rocks..!!! Best thing is that you can play coop missions... we have a lot of people playing it, I just got it and I'm learning how to fly, but check it out...
