I suppose if you can't fly a multi-million dollar jet in real life, virtual flight in games like MS Flight Simulator is the next best thing. Check out Lock On: Modern air Combat and IL-Sturmovik, those are classics and are pretty cheap if you look in the right place. I do miss the Janes' series, USAF, F-15 and Fighters Anthology, those were classics! Then again, I'll never find a better fighter sim than Strike Commander, an oldie but a goodie!

As for downloading, you can buy IL-Sturmovik right here on gamespot and the Gametap service has Lock-on and IL-Sturmovik on their service for a monthly/yearly fee. I know you can find these in stores for cheap though.

Personally nothing beats the air to air combat of WWII Online. Its a sim like none other. I can't explain, you just have to try it.

etmaul,

With you 100%. Strike Commander was the best flight experience even to this day, if only they'd do a modern remake. Because having that story made the game so much more immersive than the generic "shoot this, bomb that, and take some faceless wingmen along with you".

Strike Commander was my very first PC game :D and my port to pc gaming. before that there was just the consoles of the time :D great game, but hardly anything to play today. there are some new combat flight simulators in the making as i understand, but for the present cheap ones i agree that IL-Sturmovik probably is the best.
