Favorite Combat Flight Sims

I remember IL2, I hosted the website for 1 year, their first year, then they forgot to pay me, lol:pop4:
 
Cliffs of Dover with the Team Fusion patches for Battle of Britain, Il-2 1946 with Modact for the rest of the war/world, and Rise of Flight for those Biggles moments.

A Brilliant site! It's a real 'walk down memory lane'. :) Geez, we sure were spoilt back in the late '90's, early '00's. It was a smorgasbord of choice. Sadly not like now.

I stick to the old sims - up to and including Il-2, COD & WOFF (yes, I'm a prop man. :)). You get a great selection of aircraft and campaigns, some even with online play. And all for a fair price.

The 'new' sims these days, like ROF, Battle Of Moscow/Stalingrad, DCS charge like a wounded bull for everything but the basics. Their campaigns are usually works in progress (meaning poor), and you have to 'buy' aircraft. The developers may think they have a good business model, but to me they have lost touch with their fan base. They certainly have lost me.

It's a major reason why the air combat sim has died. :(
 
You are right Pips. Hard to beat CFS3 and Il-2 '46 for content and ever expanding addons . And for free to boot(few payware too). Thanks to all the modders that make them what they are now. These "old" sims are still great due to continued work on them. Hope it never stops as they are still better than some of the newest WW II sims out there. Thought about Cliffs of Dover but dislike steam and have no interest in multi-player sims like it and RoF. Think WOFF to be the best WW I sim,and probably all time,out there. Hearing about the same WOFF team will be taking on WW II based sim is exciting . Not dead yet !
 
Jane's World War I I Fighters has always been my favorite combat sim. I wish I could get it to work with Windows 10.... Miss it badly.
 
My all time favorite would have to be SWOL . It was my introduction to combat flight sims then CFS1 got me into the series with all the mods that became available for it.Used to be called just "sixstrings" here back then.
