Give me a Military Flight Sim

I feel like playing one of the latest and greatest flight sim games but don't know of any that have came out as of late. I have a F-22 and F-15 game but they both came out aroun '98. Anything newer including helicopter games and jet fighter games that are good? TIA

Looks like a great update to the best flight ever.
I think it was released yesterday. I'm gonna get it as soon as I clear a little space off on my hard drive.

This is the same question I had. Too bad action flight simulators are not that popular.

Dragon, I have the original of this. Let me warn you, this is not a pick up and instantly play kind of game. The manual which came with the original was literarly 3 inches thick, had large pages, and also had its own hard cover. (small print too).

This is the most realistic simulation for a good reason -- supposedly the air force once goofed around with this game because it was so similar to a real F-16.

Good luck.

Yeah, but it does scale down nicely with simple versions of the avionics/radar. But even the updated graphics can't compete with those of LO-MAC. I just love the dynamic campaign.
