Hey /k/. What's the best game to simulate air combat these days?
As a kid I remember learning about planes/choppers and their weapons not from books or TV, but by playing games like TFX, Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, or B-17 Flying Fortress.
Last sim game I bought was Falcon 4.0, but... I never played it, as it required joystick, and mine broke.
So, what would you recommend to look at?

Are you planning on getting a stick? Because you really should.
BMS is very good once you get it running, and some of the modules for DCS do a pretty good job of simulating their planes. Flaming Cliffs is a good light Sim setup if you're just starting out.

Nothing beats DCS
There's also Rise of Flight, for your wood and canvas shenanigans

warthunder is absolute trash, should not be played from a sim perspective, only as a casual thing

Falcon 4.0 is the best flight sim of all time as far as I'm concerned.
Played that shit as a kid, still play it today. I'm convinced that if needed, I could fly an F-16.
