the H.A.W.X series would probably exactly what you are looking for, really fun.

Yeah i'll add a 3rd recommendation for H.A.W.X its defo not to my tastes as far as sims go but it sounds like what the OP is looking for.
This may also float your boat 'Top Gun' http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/action/topgunpc/index.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssimilargames&tag=similargames%3Btitle%3B2
If you fancy a helicopter based arcade 'sim' check out Apache Air Assault ..... seem to remember some of the boys on SimHQ mentioning that this was a pretty fun heli arcade game with good eyecandy. http://uk.gamespot.com/ps3/sim/apacheairassault/index.html?tag=result%3Btitle%3B1
Above is ps3 review but it's available for PC to.

Cool, I researched and look for the trailers in this game

Top Gun: Graphics sucks? I really don't appreciate its graphics compared to ace combat in xbox360
Hawx: Pretty nice graphics, but I heard on some reviews thats its not realistic?
Hawx 2: idk, maybe have better improvements w/ Hawx, but nonetheless, will be trying it
Apache: Air Assault: I think I'll get this one first, Maybe I'll try to try some heli sim playing in PC rather than jets atm..

I'm actually disappointed, I guess I'll have to visit my friend always to play an awesome flight sim, I don't think there's a Flight sim in PC that matches Ace Combat  ::)

What are you basing your judgement of realism on ??
I Don't play sims on consoles so cannot comment on Ace Combat for certain, I do however have at least 20 years experience with proper hardcore sims, and i would be very very surprised if HAWX was much less realistic than any other console based flight sim ....... all console based sims are on the 'arcade' side of things since it is pretty much impossible to present a 'proper' flight sim with a joypad as a controller.
If you want realistic thats one thing.
if you want eyecandy thats another.
Try to be specific and you'll probably get the help you need.

Ace Combat has nothing to do with simulator.
It's an arcade shooter. You won't find many(half modern) shooter flyers for PC. Hawx 2 is the latest(half-decent) I think.

If you want to look into simulators try Lock:On with Mods and Patches or Falcon:Allied Force.
IL-2: Sturmovick with all the addons is still the number one there is but it's not for jets.

If you're looking for fancy graphics you can forget it. The games are old and even new ones have pretty sucky graphics compared to others simply because there's no way even a modern computer can run a decent sim with fancy graphics, there's just too much physics and a way too big area involved.

You might want to look into space shooters though. There's a huge load of those out but I've got no idea if there's any good. Haven't really ventured into them after Freelander.

It's not realistic by a longshot...
The question is though if you consider Ace Combat realistic in any way... because it is not.
If you have fun in Ace Combat you'll more than likely have fun in the HAWX franchise.

HAWX2 (and likely HAWX 1 too) look at least as good as everything you can get onto a console (they are available for console too).
