its pritty hard to make a realistic flying game for the PC (or any other system i might add) because your "vision" is limited to a 2D spot. and the "cockpit" is your keyboard/mouse/controller.

I agree. when trying to make a flight sim, you're not sure if you got all the dynamics and characteristics right.]]> Tue, 21 Jul 2009 08:32:10 +0000 http://forum.globalaircraft.org/toolkit.pl?type=goToMsg&msgid=2291 flight sims [by: f6hellcat] http://forum.globalaircraft.org/toolkit.pl?type=goToMsg&msgid=2288 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 14:29:38 +0000 http://forum.globalaircraft.org/toolkit.pl?type=goToMsg&msgid=2288 Glass cockpits [by: f6hellcat] http://forum.globalaircraft.org/toolkit.pl?type=goToMsg&msgid=2287 Flying on Glass Cockpits

There are few extremely accurate military flight simulators....but there are a lot of arcade style games that deal with military aircraft...a few that I have are:

F-22 Lighting 3 (Novalogic, PC)
F-16 MRF (Novalogic, PC)
Mig-29 Fulcrum (Novalogic, PC)

Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies (Namco, PS2)
Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War (Namco, PS2)
Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War (Bandai Namco, PS2)

Blazing Angels: Secret Missions of WWII (Ubisoft, PS3)
Blazing Angels 2: Squadrons of WWII (Ubisoft, PS3)

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X (Ubisoft, PS3)

Another that is slightly flight game-ish that I have is:

Warhawk (Sony, PS3)

----------------------

The strong point with the console based flight games is their story line, NOT their realism. The PC games are more realistic, but still lack complete realism.

Thus far, no one has actually come out with a very realistic flight simulator, in regards to military aircraft....then again, no one has come out with an very realistic military game of any sort.]]> Thu, 02 Jul 2009 19:33:59 +0000 http://forum.globalaircraft.org/toolkit.pl?type=goToMsg&msgid=2281 flight sims [by: examples (examples)] http://forum.globalaircraft.org/toolkit.pl?type=goToMsg&msgid=2279

I use Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

and this one may not count as a simulator, but it is pritty close to it:

did you know that the F-15A never had a glass cockpit? its true! it was one of the bigger problems with the F-15 early on, however it was fixed quickly.

just an interesting fact I thought id share.]]> Sun, 18 Jan 2009 05:27:17 +0000 http://forum.globalaircraft.org/toolkit.pl?type=goToMsg&msgid=2128 Glass cockpits [by: v_bomber (harry)] http://forum.globalaircraft.org/toolkit.pl?type=goToMsg&msgid=2125 ...Sublime on the towers of my skiey bowers
