Best PC Fighter Jets Game

Flight Simulator X can look awesome with some mods. But, as for actual fighter jet games... I haven't played any in years, but back in the late nineties I played the hell out of European Air War and Falcon 4.0, both by Microprose, from 1998. Awesome games, with very surprisingly good graphics for their time. Also, I haven't played them myself in years and years, but I've heard that they both have (or at least had) very active modding communities, who made a lot of big visual enhancements for them over the years.

Hawx and battlefield 3 are the most popular dumb flight combat games.

I want a sci-fi jet shooter like Terminal Velocity :(

I don't think anyone ever bought Flight Simulator X for its graphics. But, it is very customizable and depicts weather flight conditions very well.

Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 2 imo.

It's a "hardcore" sim tho, so you need a flight stick and *lots* of patience. (also the will to learn and improve)

Some how I have a feeling that you wouldn't have a high speed dog fight 150 feet from the ground..

it's cool to see just how good people can get and which synthetics translate directly into gameplay, I think this is http://aim400kg.ru/train/?a=fa_mass&ln=en I get 63s, which puts me 36 on the leaderboard.
but yeah this
http://www.humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime/
one of my ql friends in the navy has 140ms reacitons, shiiii
i definitely play different against him vs other duelers.

also i am def not the only one who talks about this stuff

http://www.esreality.com/

but yeah bf3 jets are cool, I think anyone who likes jets would like them. It probably takes a lot of the same types of skills a real jet pilot would want. Just executed in a different way.

[QUOTE="alan_carter"][QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"]complaining on the realism?
BF3 jet df from what zubin tells me who sends me jet videos nonstop, is that a better jet player will win 99% of the time.
There is no luck involved. It's heavily reaction based too, hence why even though zubin who is in the top 2% w/ reactions of 160ms can't beat tjun.
He is really good at it too, he sends me these videos nonstop, bf3 jets take a lot of skill just watching them. I couldn't be that good, my reactions are only in the 10-20%th percentile.

My gamestyle isn't reaction heavy, even though in BF3 pubs I feel like I'm in the matrix since BF3 pubbers have like 300ms+ reaction times lol.

well, average is 240-260ms according to their new data

the site says 215ms, but that's based on their early data in which I'm going to guess that people who were concerned with their reaction time have faster reaction times.

Now more people are actually doing it, so it's probably more accurate. In my experience, the average person is not 215ms.

here's what ~100-120ms reaction times look like

but even in my videos(i'm in 190ms), in pubs you can just see I react faster than all of them(see who shoots first). Though my specialty is def not reactions, it's aim, predictive aim and very good movement.

Last I heard Falcon 4.0 was still the gold standard in military flight sim.
