Commanche was great. Strike Commander with a full Thrustmaster setup back in the day was epic. Games to keep an eye on (if you like combat) http://www.polygon

Been out of games for a while, but looking forward to Oculus and whatever today's Thrustmaster equivalent is :)
- the_af 12y agoFor being a "Wing Commander"-like game, Strike Commander was surprisingly good and detailed. The manual was pretty interesting, with lots of information similar to the Quora answer. The hardcore side of combat flightsim gaming for me was Su-27 Flanker (http://www.mobygames.com/game/su-27-flanker http://www.mobygames.com/game/su-27-flanker), published by SSI. So hardcore I never actually managed to complete a full mission! It was a bit dry, without any campaigns or any kind of career tracking, but man was it detailed! It made me fall in love with the real-life Flanker. And of course, Falcon 3.0 by Spectrum Holobyte. Another awesome flightsim I spent a lot of time with but never managed to complete a single mission with. It was obvious this sim was a work of love.
- madengr 12y agoYes, Comanche was awesome back in the day. First 386 protected mode game I had and it pushed my 486DX-50 to the hilt. I also had the Thrustmaster stick and throttle, and 8-bit sound blaster. Ahh, the good old days.
