Kieth I used to do the flight sym games alot. Did Novalogic Commanche, (Helecopter) played it on line but found that the kids who played were faster and sharper at it than I was and I bit the earth in a ball of flames way too much.

Did Microsofts pacific theater game where you get to chose from the P51 mustang to a P38 lightning. It also let you fly the enemy planes also. this game is in great need for a joystick. it had great realism and was pretty accurate to flying except hooking your chair up in the air to give the feeling of flying lol

Microsoft European theater, pretty much the same as the other but got messermits to fly.

Microsoft Virtual Aircraft lets you fly most civilian aircraft, from a piper cub to a SST it is ok but no combat.

Had EA Mig Alley for a while. it was kinda superficial and it was a Korean war setting but I think it is out dated.

Comanche was the only one I played on line. but I bet the server is gone for that one too.

SAS silver fox if you find a good one let me know I used to really enjoy this.

But bear in mind that Ole fart does not know much about flight sims......<sarcasm>
Jeeze Chuck, know of any more? I used to play flight unlimited 3, that was not bad but you needed silicon graphics at the time. Novalogics F22 Lightning 3 was one of my favoirite all time flight sims, and probably available for about £1 now.

This Battlestation is an interesting game - but be warned - we found its still rather buggy as in it takes loads of resources and tends to lock the computer up. Too bad - looks kinda cool.

thank you guys for all the replies so far

wedge mate was talking about fighter jets done so much flying to and from england/spain to see my boy i think i might go mad if i see to many more airbuses or boeings lol and i dont believe you are that old i think its the weather in scotland making you feel like that lmao

chuck the only chopper game i have played that ive really enjoyed was search and rescue 2/3 you could prob get it very cheap on amazon but no online option ! dont really want a sim they can be to complicated and i think that it can take away the fun want something simple based on pure game play,ill let you know if i find a good one mate

hello j long time i have f22 3 but cant seem to get online with it ??

thanks for the link trickster downloading now also downloading f16 as well falcon 4 sounds to involved mate as i said above want something easier to play

grunt does this (we found its still rather buggy)mean you have played the game or just the demo ??

anyway if i find anything cool i will let you know in this thread cheers all
