Has ANYONE heard of a combat flight simulator that ISN'T based in the 50's? Something with current technology, and aircraft?

I've been waiting for more than 10 years, to find something better than falcon 6.0... Something with current jets (More than just an f-16, and a couple migs), possibly online play, with leaderboards.

I'm a huge Battlefield fan, and was extatic when I found out about BF2 Modern Combat, and then BF2142 set in the future. Now I'm an addict! But... Their answer to the airbourne battlefield is not that good.

I strongly believe that Ubisoft could do an amasing job where EA seemed to have given up! All the Splinter Cell's are on my computer because they ALL rock hard! Innovative interaction and game play, subtle yet inspiring graphics... Imagine Ubisoft's innovation with the modern airbourne battlefield...

theyres a few but theyre hard to get

LMAO--have you checked out the rage against UBI in lots of their PC forums (Graw, THIS ONE, Vegas ect)? They are marketing substandard ports , failing to support them as well ignoring their customers. This seems to have become their standard operating procedure. UBI has done very little to instill any confidence in the PC community lately. They simply are not capable of developing a project like you suggest. They can't even port a simple arcade game. UBI will be washing their hands of the PC in the not to distant future and concentrate solely on console gaming.

UBI makes great games just ... uslessly supported. I you'er right about how they will have to "wash their hands." if not well then i have nothing to say

i don't agree with you because there a lots of flight smiulators where you can play with planes that we use right now.

How about "Lock On Flaming Cliffs",published by Ubi,2006.It's used by some air forces in militery traning. I 'am fond of its reality.

They might "all be the same," but aren't they fun? Are you guys having technical problems with the Wii version? If not, what's to complain about? I haven't played the Wii version but c'mon, controlling a plane via nunchuck?? Sounds cool to me...

(This is my personal contention, not PR drivel.)
