    Best air combat game?

    Looking to get myself a new air combat game, I have always been into flying games but been out the the flight sim market for quite some time now.

    I am looking for a air combat game that is fun, fast and not to boring. Graphics also have to be up to standard.

    Its beautiful and it can be as fast paced (DF in Glads & CR42's) or as slow paced (Full scale online wars) as you like.

    If you dont want super realistic but great fun, Ace Combat 5 for PS2 has been rated very high, excellent fun.

    It has enough realism, great graphics (for a console), a storyline (rare?), and generally great gameplay. Read the IGN review for more info

    Got to agree IL2-FB is amazing.. one of, nay, the best flight sim I've ever played - especially good using a force-feedback joystick too.

    edit: and I've just checked on play.com its £7.99 - bargain!
    We cannot choose what we are.. but what are we but the sum of our choices?
