xxmikexx Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi Folks, This is an experimental forum. It's purpose is the discussion of military flight simulators in general. Let's kick things off by listing the military sims we each own at the moment ... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Digital abstract art copyright 2010 Mike McCarthy, all rights reserved.

Disneyflyer Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Cool. I have had plenty of them. The trilogy of Combat Flight Simulator from Microsoft, Falcon 4.0 and LOMAC. Favorite would have to be Falcon. The worst, believe it or not, LOMAC. Just didnt care for it. ....Signature not required for delivery.... **i7-9700k @ 3.60GHz, GeForce RTX 2070 Super, ROG Strix Z390-E, 32gb G Skill 3200 C16, 1 TB Pcie SSD, 850w Power** **Honeycomb Alpha Yoke, Logitech Throttle, Logitech Pedals** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmikexx Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Disneyflyer, I own a number of military flight sims, purchased partly for purposes of testing my erstwhile utility program product, and partly for fun. The ones installed on my flight computer at the moment are ... IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 Falcon IV LockOn Pacific Fighters Combat Flight Simulator 3 I'm just getting into the Sturmovik game, on behalf of which I've applied for membership with an online multiplayer squadron named Aces High, not to be confused with the massively multiplayer game of the same name. I will be flying with them this coming weekend. I have not looked into the multiplayer capabilities of any of the games, and even my single player combat time is low. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to formation flying, team ground attack, blah blah blah. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Digital abstract art copyright 2010 Mike McCarthy, all rights reserved.

ED_4 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Falcon 4.0 and it's other mods (SP4, FF3,BMS2), including the latest Falcon 4 Allied Forces. Microprose Gunship! (that's the second title not the original older one) I do have a lot of the other Jane's series of combat sims (Longbow,USAF, F-15, FA-!8), but don't have them installed now. Since I don't have that much hard drive space and only confine the space now to those I use the most. So currently if I want to go shooting stuff down. I pick one of the Falcon versions or fly in a helicopter in Gunship!:) Edwin http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v142/edolosa/signature/ED4Sigbanner2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxmikexx Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 eightline, I should have mentioned that the list of military sims I own and like is much longer than the list of military sims I have installed at the moment. So Mig Alley is one of my all time favorites, but for a variety of reasons I don't have it installed at the current time.

JerseyFlyer Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hi, I am brand new to all the sims, general and combat. I purchased Falcon 4 allied forces and Combat Flight sim 3 to start my combat and I already had MS2004 for general. I have tried MS2004 with the keyboard and that isn't very good so I have a Saitek X52 coming in a few days, it was cheaper then the yoke. My first question is should I be using a joystick (X52) or buy a yoke and pedals. I am thinking the yoke might be good for the MS2004 and the joystick for the combat, does that make sense? Next, which combat sim is best to start with...Cfs3 or falcon4, or should I purchase something else to start on? Thanks, JerseyFlyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortiz56 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I have both. I can fly with one type of controller, yoke or stick, but want a bit of that "real" feel according to aircraft type. I really believe that pedals are a must for that feeling as well. Auto rudder is OK, but taxiing, taking off, and landing with those fine pedal rudder movements, just increases the reality. Now, I flew IL-2 Sturmovik with my yoke, not the stick, and did just fine, but I felt unathentic. Just me. Start with a stick (inexpensive) and, if you don't get that unsatisfied feeling, stay with it. On the other hand..... Happy landings, chum. http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii207/danroman56/danromansigabc.jpg --Dan Roman; Sunland, CA; FSX, Acceleration, ASE, Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit), Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q9550 @2.83 GHz 2.83 GHz, 8.0 GB RAM; AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series.

turbofire Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I fly with a Saitek AV8R-01 and love it. I also have a Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System that includes a Premium flight yoke and 3-lever quadrant module. Unfortunately, the Pro Flight Yoke System usually sits under my computer desk. I fould it bulky and mostly in the way. I tried it for several nights, but enjoy the simplicity of the stick with its multiple switches. :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] TurboFIRE "No accidents in one year" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielWoodUK Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Have you tried DOSBox? I used DOSBox for all my old dos games. It's definitely worth a try :-) Regards, Daniel Real Life Flying with Accurate WorldWide Scenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderossa Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 ~S~ What WW2 combat sim is everyone playing now and where? I used to love playing CFS 1&2 and other stuff on the Zone with my old squad mates, but that was quite awhile ago and I've since lost touch with them. Thanks, Thunderossa (formerly VF15/ST15_Thunder) Have: Red Baron II European Air War CFS 1,2,3 (well, I HAD the first one until the disc vanished on me...lol) IL2-AEP-FB-PF http://www.youtube.com/thunderossa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaelNL Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hi, my introduction: Just newly arrived at this forum, looking for info on military flightsims. I own Il-2 FB and PF. Basically, that's the only thing I've flow in recent years, besides trying to hold something in the air in Armed Assault. I use a Logitech Freedom 2.4 Cordless joystick, my cheap solution to not being a hardcore flightsimmer and still being able to effectively use the rudder. I own a lot of older games, for which I now should install a DOSbox on my Vista PC, like Mi-24 Hind, Fighting Falcon and some others. I decided against that, but I currently do have a strong urge to fly a jet. So I want to purchase a (relatively) new sim and looking here for additional info. I'm mainly looking at LOMAC and Strike Fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ironroad Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hi, Have you tried Falcon 4.0 BMS or Free Falcon? The makers of those mods did fiddle around with the source code, so it might run smoother on newer windows platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
