Which Flight Sim Fighter?

[neonplanet40]

Hey guys,

Basically i went to the cinema last thursday and ended up in the arcade after. When i was there i ended up playing Blazing Angels and had loads of fun except the dam thing costs £1 a go!

Im looking something similar for the pc. Is there any you would reccommend? Should i get Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII?

I also need reccommendations for a joystick for my pc to play it with

Im thinking it will be great fun on my 40 inch tv!! Woo

Many thanks guys

I haven't played blazing angels 2, but if it is anything like the first it's probably worth buying.
See if you can find a copy of crimson skies, that was brilliant when it came out, not sure how well it has aged though.

Well, they're hardly flight "sim" fighters (thinking Sturmovik), but in the genre you're talking about I reckon Heroes of the Pacific was a fantastic game - it was extremely unrealistic, but a lot of fun and they cut out most of the boring stuff to focus on high quality gameplay. Its sequel, Heroes over Europe, is in the works, but I haven't heard anything over a firm date - Wiki suggests Autumn.

Nonetheless, Pacific should be dirt cheap and reasonably easy to run - I played it with a very old joystick via a MIDI port, which was more than capable of running the game, no need to spend a lot. I upgraded to a £20 Logitech USB job which again did the trick... if you aren't playing FSX or similar then there probably is little need to fork out.

EDIT: I just checked actually, Pacific is £4.99 brand new from Amazon, £1.95 second hand on marketplace. Can't argue with that!

I had Blazing Angels 2 for the 360 and it was a pretty good game tbh it's just more of the same but if you enjoyed the original it's probably worth a look, I have yet to play HAWX but I have heard some very favourable comparisons with the Ace Combat series and I'm sure there's a demo online.

Same here, still got Ace Combat 6 to clock and IL-2 to patch up though...it's a case of too many flight sims too little time at the moment in my house.
