Please help me find a Modern Combat Flight Sim...

[Shagga]

I'm after the latest and greatest "Modern Combat Flight Simulator" that is out at the moment. I would prefer modern aircraft such as F22, F18 and F14 etc as opposed to WWI or WWII aircraft.

I have IL2 Sturmovik but fancy somethin a little more modern. The equivelent to Commanche 4 if you like in terms of date and eye candy...

What is there thats worth the cash? ideally, "Lock-On - Modern Air Combat" is what I'm after but it's not out yet. (Wished I'd applied to be a BETA tester).

Who developed "Falcon 4" and is it recent? Mind you I can't seem to find it anywhere to buy at the moment. All I can seem to find on the shelves is MS Combat Flight Sim 2 or 3 etc.

Any ideas or pointers would be appreciated. (Oh, must be able to play it online if possible) but not Novalogic stuff such as F22 Lightning 3 (Looks naff) or whatever it's called.

Cheers ears,

IIRC, Falcon 4 came out in '98 (published by MicroProse?). It's a pain acquiring a copy. Best supply source would be fleabay or yahoo auctions.

You might also like Jane's F/A-18. Old like Falcon 4, but remains popular.

Flanker 2 can be found for $10 in the bargain bin at your local CompUSA. Very pretty, but has a smaller fan base than F4 or F/A-18.

I didn't realise it was that old, hense the reason I couldn't find it on their website.

I know I know, it looks sweet. I heard the beg/end of October '03 for a release.

Thank for the link manly. This sounds cool. I heard the manual is 3 inches thick... lol

Anyway, found a link for the demo, but it shows demo1 and demo2. I tried them both but I cant seem to get past the front screen, it just stops responding!!....Tried it in Win95 Compatibility Mode also with no joy. Running WinXp Pro, P4 3.0GHz, 1GHz RDRAM & GF4 4600....em....need to see this. I have a TFT monitor, does the game options let me play at 1280 x 1024?
