Aviation Games,

Hey Guys i have been looking for an aircombat game for my pc, but when i search for them all i see is flight simulators,
they get boring too fast for me, so was wondering if there is any games like LOCKON outhere.
at the time when i got LOCKON, my computer was really to old to play it properly but from what i did play it was far too technical for me, so basicly im looking for a easy to pick up and play game, rather then sit around reading the instructions must be air combat games jets E.T.C

thanks in Advance

Well, the only FS I have is from Novalogic, quite old, '98, and it is called MiG-29 Fulcrum. There are versions of F-16 and F-22. As a matter of fact, it is not ver realistic, but very easy to pick up, I learnt to take off and land without manuals in 2 hours of game.
It is also quite cheap (10 US$) and doesn't need a good computer to play. It runs better on win 95/98, though I have it functioning in Win XP, even though the mission editor doesn't function.
I don't know if you will be be able to get a copy... BTW, where are you from?

Hope to have helped,

Thomas

Jane´s USAF is pretty easy, but it has been around for a few years now.

Guys, if you want a good combat simulator for PS2, you can try the Ace Combat games. There is also one for PSP: Ace Combat X.

Well, i have just tested the demo of the latest Ace Combat for Xbox 360. This must been the most beautiful and photogeneric graphics i have seen so far in a aviation game. The details on the planes are extraordinary, its like looking at a aviation movie.

The gameplay is just as before, no changes that i noticed. Still in a arcade form then a true hardcore simulation, 99 missiles and unlimited rounds for the cannon.  The replays are just as as great to watch as before, but even more fun because of the exellent graphics.

But i must mention that i tried it out on full HDTV, so i dont know how much it will loose in detail on a normal tv. Usally it is like day and night. 

Im soon buying a 360 and this is one game that i will invest in even thou i dont owna full HDTV. Already bought Forza2...So why not Ace Combat also.
