subject: Flight Jet Simulator For Combat Flying [print this page] If you love the thrill of air combat but do not want the danger or expense associated with flying jets then you should see about playing with flight jet simulator. These simulators have come a very long way and while they are not as realistic or difficult as the military flight simulators you can still enjoy the ride as they are very realistic.
Microsoft was the first computer company to develop and release jet simulator software and it is still a leader. However the real breakthrough in simulator gaming came with the versions available from PlayStation and its Air combat series.
The three main combat flight simulators available from Microsoft include Combat Flight Simulator WWII Europe series, Combat Flight Simulator 3: Battle for Europe and Combat Flight Simulator 2 WWII Pacific Theater. If you are looking for the most realist software then you should check out the IL-2-Sturmovik series available from Ubisoft.
Most of ll the gaming combat simulators tend to be available from the two great wars of World War I and World War II. They will be sorted depending on the historic period, then the type of aircraft ad finally a specific battle. Two popular programs from WWI include Ride of Flight: The First Great Air War and the Red Baron.
There are many more gaming programs available for WWII such as Battle of Britain II: Wings of Victory, Aces Over Europe, 1942: Pacific Air War, the Combat Flight Simulator series, Il-2-Sturmovik 1946, B-17 Flying Fortress and Aces High to name a few. You can experience the Korean War with MiG Alley and the Vietnam War with Flight of the Intruder.
What makes each of these games fun and challenging is that you have to learn how to fly all the different types of planes as each will have different fighting and flying styles and will be more advantageous in certain situations.
