What are some good flight simulators out there (modern day aircraft, not like WWII, WWI, etc)?

Not like WW1 or WW2.
MiG Alley is fantastic Korean War action.
Falcon 4.0 is great.
Try Strike Fighters Project 1.0, its still a bit twitchy but getting better all the time.

Oh. Sorry, I didn't see the "not like" and thought they were part of a list.Darth Utsanomiko wrote:*Is reminded of the phrase "read before you post"*Spanky The Dolphin wrote:Uts and Shep seem to enjoy IL-2 Sturmovik...

Here a few sims that I would recommend:
Flight Simulator 2004 - Best of it's kind. Civilian/Commercial/General Aviation flight simulator. (i.e. 97% of the aircraft flying in the sky at any given moment) After purchase, it's highly recommended to spend some time at http://www.avsim.com , check out their library, and download some of their "hottest files" listed under this year, month, and day. 99.9% backward compatible with FS2002 add-ons. Download of FSUIPC from that site is highly recommended, as it will allow your add-ons to interface properly with the sim. For more information, PM me. This sim is my area of expertise.
Orbiter - Space simulator: Space Shuttle, and Gemini, Apollo, Mercury capsules, and many, many more. A solid understanding of orbital dynamics, physics, and newtonian forces is HIGHLY recommended. Try out the highly-challenging trans-Lunar insertion orbit maneuvers! Or a full flight from Earth to Mars, with your choice of orbital insertion methods! Want to recreate 2001: A Space Oddysey? Go right ahead!
Falcon 4.0 - Best complex military fighter simulator EVER! start here: http://www.frugalsworld.com , click on forums, then Falcon 4. Ignore the entire "G2i vs. The F4 Community" mess, and read the sticky posts. Or, if you're lazy, just wait for the soon-to-be-released Falcon 4: OIR. It's all up-to-date. Warning: This sim is COMPLEX!
Lock-On: Modern Air Combat - release date Winter 2003. Download the demo at fileplanet.com or fileshack.com . It's somewhat simpler than Falcon 4, and has the Mig-29 (3 variants). Su-25, Su-33, A-10, F-15.
Enemy Engaged: Commanche vs. Hokum - best combat helicopter sim out there. Highly entertaining and immersive. Highly recommended.
