The out-of-the box flight models are designed to be pretty high fidelity but like the rest of the game are biased towards a shallow learning curve. If you are interested in aerodynamics, this series may be of interest to you, as it has one of the most complete physics-based flight modeling systems out there. One last thing-I don't want to sound like Billy Mays. He only recently stopped updating the original game, released six and half years ago. However, it is one of the most moddable games you can buy and we have been at it since 2002, so there is a vast library of free stuff to download, most of it of excellent quality.Īnother very nice thing about this series is that TK supports his sims like a madman. This is from Wings Over Europe, another sim in the series, using a lot of free community produced mods to up the level of eye candy:īear in mind this sim only costs $19.99, so you aren't getting LOMAC level eye candy. I added a bit of heat blur to the exhaust in PS, otherwise untouched:Ī MiG-19 takes out an F-100 in a head on pass.

Hunting Bears (these Tomcats are not released yet, but will be later this year): However, the modding community has done much to beautify things. The sim is designed to run well on really low end hardware, so the stock terrain and aircraft skins are limited in resolution.


Serious question: why are the graphics so bad?
