Currently? Nothing that I know of. Crimson skies from way back, maybe. I played Ace Combat on the PS2. Definitely on the arcadish side. It's fun when the mood suits me. But overall, I still prefer the "closer to reality" flight physics and geographic accuracy of a flight/combat sim.
Take FSX..... My daughter gets a kick out of seeing Meteor Crater which we'll visit later this year...

Your pc is way way better than mine. I still have my Athlon X2 4200+/2gb ram/ATI X800XL from 2005. I've been tempted to upgrade. But, I always found a reason to hold off. Yours should run FSX easily and all maxed out.
I'm not a pilot. But, I've been around aircraft all my life and count pilots among my friends here.
FSX isn't hard. There's varying levels of difficulty. So anyone can jump right in. I found Falcon 4.0 much harder:
from Falcon 4.0 Headquarters.
Kinda reminds me. One of my friends swiped my Falcon 4.0 cd. Grrr.
Add: Also, I know some real F-16 (and A-10) fighter jocks who still play with Falcon 4.0. Of course, they also have FSX or FS 2004.Last edited by Jun aka Pekto; June 10th, 2008 at 06:54 PM.

You're doing fine. It took me a looong time before I was able to land
I've been playing MS Flight Simulator ever since it was Sublogic's Flight Simulator 1.0. I still manage to crash often specially when there's a crosswind component over the runway.
I need a good set of rudder pedals. My older CH pedals broke a while back.
I want a CH Pro:
Reminds me. X-Plane version 9 is also out. Got to get that one too.

Incidentally, I bought X-Plane 9 yesterday although I haven't installed it yet. The game and default scenery takes up almost 12gb. Then, there's over 60gb of scenery compressed in five other dvd discs. Ouch.
X-Plane and MS Flight Simulator are the Macs and PC's of the flight sim world. Sure enough, there's already a lot of X-Plane 9 vs FSX views from fanbois out there..... boneheads.

X-Plane Version 9 took up almost 12gb with the default install and that doesn't include scenery of Asia. I wanted to fly over Manila. That meant installing another 13gb of scenery. Also, X-Plane 9 is Mac OSX and Linux compatible which is probably the reason for all the fanboi junk. It doesn't help that Flight Simulator X was made by MS. OT I confirmed my friend did swipe my Falcon 4.0 (Allied Force) game. He was waving it (the box) at me as he left and said goodbye. I didn't even realize it. No wonder he had an evil grin......
