Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 to be exact, got it for Christmas, and mate, what a blast.
Downloaded a stack of extra aircraft such as the F-14A with "VF-1 Maverick & Goose-Top Gun" markings, F-16C, and many more.
Thought i'd share these shots with you, i think they are pretty nice.
First two shots are of me breaking the sound barrier over Gipplans, Victoria, Australia, in the F-14A "Maverick & Goose".



These 3 are from my day in virtual Arizona, went hunting for the Grandcanyon from Flagstaff airfield, wasn't hard to miss, head north west and unless youve got your eyes shut your gonna see the massive hole in the ground :-)



And the last, and my favourite, for those of you whove seen topgun, this is me keeping up foreign relations, watch the birdie :-)


Cheers guys

Impressive... never knew that game could be that impressive in terms of graphics.

BTW, are there WWII planes present? How about dogfights?

G'day mate.
we need to take to the fight in BFV again sometime soon
For this sim (FS9-Microsoft flight simulator 2004) it comes with i think 25 aircraft, all civilian, mostly light planes, and a few larger airliners, however if you want any other aircraft imaginable you simply download them from the many websites on the net, everything from WW1, WW2, to modern day, there are also many fantasy aircraft, but those dont particularly interest me.
some good places to download these freeware aircraft are..
