    Lock ON: Modern Air Combat!

    Atlast it seems like a Fighter game based on jet planes are on its way

    Latest years it has been really sparse

    Currently downloading the demo

        BTW, it would be sweet if one fighter game has the followings:

        1) F-35B (STOVL )
        2) F-22 (found in Ace Combat 4 i think(
        3) Dassault RAFALE
        4) CAC J-10
        5) MCA

        Damn I think I am asking for WAY too much

          WHy are Jet fighter sims more popular here than prop sims?

              I've played the demo of IL-2 and was quite impressed. Part of the problem with prop sims is that the physics of a prop aircraft are signficantly more complex than a jet. Jet sims don't need to worry about prop wash, torque, and other prop complexities, they all pretty much just model the jet engine as a magic "thrust=throttle position" device, totally ignoring real life issues like engine surge/stalls and whatnot.

                  A jet cant stall or spin??

                  IL-2 is hard to master indeed. Fighter Ace from jaleco (on-line prop sim) allows you to start of with easy physics and, if you want, you can go more and more realistic.

                    I mean the ENGINE stalling in a jet, of course the aircraft can stall regardless of the propulsion (although often if the aircraft stalls the abnormal airflow into the intakes can precipitate an engine stall on older engines.)
