    Looks like Bundlestars has F1 2013 classic edition for $17 for the next day and a half. Not sure how good that game is, but for the price cant be too bad.

    It depends on what you are into @Archie.

    Flaming Cliffs is older but has an assortment of jets. Stand alone things like the A10 Warthog are ultra realistic and if you treat it as a full sim it takes a lot to master the 10 odd minute start up sequence, let alone all the other associate flight and air plus ground combat techniques. That level of detail can be frustrating if you are more into game style play, but you can also dial it down in the settings.

    The P51 was the first ultra realistic WW2 fighter plane to be released and is a ton of fun if you like that era, as is the Dora which was released a bit later. It will be a while until the WW2 field fills out but in many ways I find them more fun, you don't have all the wiz bang modern gadgets to spot and engage with enemies, so it is a lot harder in terms of dogfight tactics.

    Best to download DCS and give it a try first before spending money on it, its free and has the P51 without guns plus the Frogfoot.

    So it could be a good game from beginners to flight sims (as I am) to advanced users, right? It's worth a try, thanks for the tip!

    DCS as the name implies is a digital combat simulator. I would not say it is for beginners in terms of those who are into arcade type stuff. Things like FSX, Prepare and Xplane cover more of a range of different types of aircraft, including military ones, plus have scenery based on real world localities. But they don't have the hard core detailed planes and combat aspect of DCS.

    As I said DCS itself is free, it is all the add on planes and packages that cost, so best to just download and try it.

    Yup - I've got the Global GTX packs for FSX and regularly fly around my local field (YWOL) and Sydney etc. DCS sounds good, will check it out. Love my WWII fighters.

    Chocks away.. chin chin.

    Just a notice, Dirt 3 is now available for Steam without GFWL needed, they've finally removed it and made it available to purchase on Steam. Of course it's a bit too late, but when it comes to rally, we don't have a lot quality titles on PC.

    http://steamcommunity.com/games/321040/announcements/detail/133195170799950347

    http://store.steampowered.com/app/321040/

    The price on Steam is of course doubled than price you can get the key on the other shops.
    The good thing is - if someone already have a retail key, they can add / convert it in Steam and everyone will receive Dirt 3 Complete Edition, including all DLC's.
    That's what I have done and received the Complete Edition.

    For anyone looking for a cheaper key, here is one of clean shops that still has them, you will get the key immediately, I've bought one for a friend - he activated it on Steam and got Complete Edition too.

    Thanks, I have found it in my library with no need to reactivate the code.

    Also, Elite Dangerous is on Steam too!

    does this mean that Steam edition is not Simtools compatible?
