Im looking for a modern flight sim with an excellent blend of realism and graphics. Im thinking of picking up LOMAC GOLD again. I purchased it before, but starforce acted weird and would'nt let me play it. Since i've used other games with Starforce protection i assumed it was a bad disk took it back for Morrowind. But if there is something that looks as good as LOMAC with better realism and a dynamic campaign i'd be interested. |

Falcon 4.0 Allied Force The realism factor is unparalleled. You can even perform the entire ramp start up before every flight, if you want. All that, plus dynamic campaigns. |
+1 Falcon 4.0 is the best flight sim ever. |

I bought both. My new copy of LOMAC:Gold works perfectly. Falcon 4.0 runs silky smooth, it almost flows like water. Nice. I can run LOMAC on high(not max) between 30-40fps. Some reviews are too harsh on LOMAC. I think its great. A review on gamesfaq stated you cant fire the 20mm and missles without hitting C. I can fire both from my joystick The only problem i see with LOMAC is the lack of a dynamic campaign. What is Black Shark? A helicopter sim/addon for LOMAC? Im sold already. I love Helicopters WAY more then jets. Ever since i played Gunship and Gunship 2000 many many moons ago. Commanche 4 was the only Helo "sim" on the PC i can remember in recent history. I think Janes made an Apache sim also, but the graphics did'nt look too great. The F/A-18 is my second favorite plane after the SU-27. Instead of going back further. I'll wait for a more modern sim of this aircraft. Hmm... maybe if a US vs China scenario concerning Taiwan. Plus before buying more jet sims (im attempting to round out my PC game collection) i want to see how well i'll do with Falcon and LOMAC. Which should be ok. The only thing i find daunting is the MFD and Radar usage. Flying is relatively easy. Steal Beasts 2 is supposedly coming along, but Operation Flashpoint 2 if its aiming for realism will be a much better choice and cheaper then $125. Iron Warriors looks nice, but i want US AFV's too. |

If you are a fan of helipcopter sims, you really did yourself a disservice by not checking out Janes Longbow 2. It had amazing graphics for its day, and a 3d cockpit that was pretty cool. My friend and I used to fly networked and front seat/back seat in the same Longbow. It was hella cool. |
