Looking for a good combat flight sim that uses a control pad (PC)

<< < (3/3)

nstgc:
I don't like the look of those aircraft. I don't know why, but they just look bad to me. I want to play a game, not train for the USAF. I remember two things very clearly in Ace Combat 4 (not 3). One was flying threw a canyon at insane speeds speeds (I would clime to the top of the map then nose dive into the canyon with engines to full pull up at the last minute then fly threw at full speed), and the other was shooting down Yellow Squadron with nothing but machine guns on the second hardest difficulty level (I got bored before I unlocked the hardest). Would that ever happen? No, but I'd take that over looking at ugly WW2 era planes any day.

[edit] By the way, what would you call something like Ace Combat? I can understand completely why you wouldn't want to call it a simulator, but I don't know of a better term.

AceHigh:
I don't know, arcade perhaps? But I get your point, "sim" just got stuck with all games where you fly something.

lapa321:
A couple. No exactly ace combat, but they're technically-sorta-maybe arcadey-ish flying games.

Gun Metal - Haven't actually played this but looks fun

This just isn't true, DCS A-10C Warthog, and Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 2.0, are modern and apparently very good, and very very accurate.  I can't comment personally as I don't have the system to run them.

I have DCS, it is very complicated and most of it is not combat.  Combat flightsim implies that the main goal is shooting and not trying to get off the ground while pressing the right switches.
