Yup.

Il-2, Falcon 4.0 AF, DCS: Black shark...

Got hooked when falcon 3.0 came out in '91.

Aces High. I belong to the "Unforgiven" Squadron. Mostly fly medium and heavy bombers. Also spend time in tanks and manning AAA guns in base defence.

I used to be into it a lot more than I used to--I had every version of Microsoft FS since 4.0 on the apple, all the way up to FSX.
I also had a few military FSims too, through the years I've had CFS, several Jane's FSims, Aces over europe, aces over the pacific, AV8B harrier, Red Baron, and a few others that I can't think of the name

I love Jane's F-15 and WWII.

My favorite for just casual cruising around is Flight Unlimited 2.

Jane's F15 is brilliant. Just the right balance between simulation and great gameplay. The F 15 is still one of my greatest favourites. Too bad I haven't been able to get it work with my current GPU..

I like the fact that you can change the level of play from casual to realistic. It's a monumental undertaking to fly missions when you have to contend with nearly every little detail that a real pilot has to.

If you like that, you should really try falcon 4.0 allied force, it's on a completely differend level of realism. But beware, if you go with full realism, you'll really need to read and understand the 760 page manual. Just starting the plane up is a undertaking that takes longer than missions on basic FPS games.. But most of all, it has a true dynamic campaing, meaning that you plan the missions, and everything affects everything making it a nice strategy game at the same time. It's brilliant because it's just not mission after mission, but instead every decision you make and your ability to carry out those decisions decides what is going to happen next and the war goes on all the time, all over the big map. It's pretty old too, so it runs well on older computers. Just make sure you get the allied force edition, it's updated, less buggy and still costs next to nothing these days.

Or, if you have a superb computer and are even more obsessed with realism, try DCS: black shark. But it will bring most computers and players to their knees pretty quickly.
