What do you do with Fighters..????

worst developer ever
I only fly fighters whenever I need a break from hauling butt, but never for more than an hour.
And sometimes, I'd really like to have a paintball and "real wingman AI" add-on for some mock dogfights.
The former should even be doable via FSX and SimConnect. As for the latter, prerecorded FSRecorder tracks should do for the start.

Great answers guys!!!.......but how the hell did my Avatar get involved?????
I do fly the great fighters of WW2 something like some of you have said you do. I almost never buy them since I use them so little, so most are freeware, except for the Venerable and Admired P-51 Mustang which I saw flying in formation over my house many many times, I can still hear that RR engine and the P-47 Jug, saw one drop a bomb on top of the "Policia Nacional" headquaters back in 1954. (It was flown by the CIA ).......for combat I switch to IL-2 or CFS which are not that hot either..............Lewis A2A, I´ll surely check your P-47 in a few minutes........
------------------strange!!! no one has mentioned Hellcats or Corsairs pilots doing their difficult "Carrier Landing" instruction----Hummmm, ummmm

This is a series of images to show how I commonly like to fly, which is at 1.0 ata/30 inches from spot view, down low in the trees.
I grabbed these shots right while I was flying, so I'm using my usual .60 zoom level, though I did try to crop the images in a way that conveys the same sense of speed.
In general I treat warbirds like my personal hotrod, and just fly around enjoying the sounds, scenery, flight physics and engine management.
I also enjoy mountain flying since there is so much for visual spatial reference.

I just enjoy flying the old gels... no need for me to pretend I'm up against enemies when my engine sounds angry at me anyway

Your advatar got involed by me, only to provide an example I thought others could relate to. And being a Marine and a Naval Aviation fanatic, carrier landings are a major part of my flying time!

Flight Tests , the best part of this job !
I'm an outstanding test pilot, I must say especialy with twin engine aircraft! hehe That 38 is going to be so SWEET!!
Yes, here is an example. I recorded the flight of the Ju-W34 over Libya and played it back while flying the P-40. It was just a matter of lining it up, center it in my sights, and down it goes.
