Im dead sick of fsx' limitations.
any other great NEW flight sims out there?
I'm yet to give a shot with DCS warthog, so i wanted to know more options b4 i make a decision
i know a few under developement such as
wings of prey (im tired of warbirds, no go)
seven-G (how do i get to test it anyways?)
combat-helo (also dunno if i can test, plus chopper sims, im not really a chopper pilot)
flight gear (is it any good?)
xplane v10 (schedule to be released this year AFAIK, not sure how good it will be also)
MS flight (will probably be fsx with improved graphics, same limitations, same grpahic speed)
other than that, i just googled and found "pro flight simulator" claiming to be the most realistic sim ever. graphics look bad though. anyone knows whats that all about?
need options. thanks

This forum is about FSX Accelerator Hornet. Many threads have been deleted in the past because they were OFF TOPIC. Anyway here is a sim that has been in development ever since whenever - ten years?

im sorry, I agree with you, this is the accel hornet forum, but we found it like 4, 5 years ago, and it became a warm community for all kinds of discussion. I believe some people here feel home and sometimes cross the line ending up posting off topic stuff, just like i did :)
so yeah, if this is way too off topic, a mod can delete it and tell me, so i wont post stuff like this again, but its just that this is a totally different community. I barely check the general discussion forums, and sometimes I check WIP screenshots, but thats all, and i believe many people here do the same, and never check other threads, so thats why i ask it here.
meanwhile, thanks for your answer :)
also, would like to hear oppinions about the other ones I mentioned before.
cheers

I'm not sure what you require from a desktop computer flight simulator. Probably the only one that will satisfy you is out of reach - the F-35 simulator - although you may get a chance to use it one day.

Until then the most fun I have ever had (mentioned on earlier threads here I'm certain) is with "Pacific Fighters" with maximum number of aircraft - not flying with the latest updates because they ruined the sim - making the aircraft unflyable. I think stopping at upgrade .4 was the limit. I have not flown it (nor have had installed for years) now. While LOMAC - Lock On Modern Air Combat - was always good, just for simple use.
The most realistic flying was with a DOS in Windows wireframe model made by an Australian Uni Prof for the RAAF made available back in the days of Windows 3.1. Sadly the program had to be tailored to individual video cards so it was never upgraded. The flight dynamics were wonderful.
However as far as NavAv goes FSX with the SLUDGE Hornet (thanks to the original Accel Hornet) is the BEST. I have seen others try to do NavAv and they all fail. I'm disappointed that 'ThunderWorks' is so late but that seems to be the only competitor for the excellent combo described - the first ever. Thanks to the hard work of the people on this forum - you know who you are. ;D

Personally I'm not that interested in prop flight sims (although PacFighters is FUN in melees) but here is a UTUBE video showing a newie:
