Humour a geek here, but where are all the simulators? I did a brief search for some Combat Simulators that would push my new PC to the limits, you know the type - 6000 different controls/commands, a completely immersive experience the likes of which used to be very popular.
Now I look on Gamerankings.com to find the best Combat Military Jet Simulator they have rated was made in 1999 or earlier. The one I want - Janes FA/18 which got the most praise is pretty much impossible to find even on ebay. I've ordered Enemy Engaged which sounds pretty good.
What happened to the PC Gamers love affair with the ridiculously complicated simulator? Have our attention spans been reduced to that of dumb beasts, have we the memory of gold fish, have we the memory of gold fish, have our attention spans been reduced to that of dumb beasts, have we the memory of gold fish?
Anyone remember X-Wing or Tie-Fighter? They were bloody amazing. How about a remake now that we have PC's that could create something really special. Frontier Elite 4 anyone?
I'd settle for a ripping submarine or tank sim with a 4000 page operations manual. Microprose, come back, all is forgiven.
Oh and don't suggest Flight Sim 2002 or Train Simulator, that's venturing into the realm of uber-geek. I remember a 'game' on the Spectrum called Lawn Mower Simulator. *shudders*
[S]I had a 200hp rotary

Combat Flight Simulators don't though.
really.
really.
I understand totally where your coming from on this one i would love a really good simulator game. Something where if i press the wrong key on my keyboard i crash horribly hearing my crews screams as we travel towards the earth. I have gunship 2000 haven't played it in ages but remember it taking up alot of my keyboard.
Would like any type of simulator but it would have to look frecking awsome and be about something good not trains or commercial flights.

I've got F22 Lightning 3, but last time I run it up I remember the graphics being quite grainy.
When I drop a nuke on London town centre, I want to see the whites of those cockneys eyes, not some pixelly, poor representation.

Yeah i don't just want some naff boxes as buildings and green squares as fields i want the whole sh-bang.
I want people skipping through fields of wheat, children walking there dog in the park, people passing each other on the street.
Right before i unload my machineguns in their general direction and bomb the hell out of them. Then like the americans clam i didn't know they where there. Then get a mission complete message :D

I expect to spend a good 5 hours on the game to start off with, and then when the time is right, initiate a successful take off. :D
Shortly after I'll crash the damn thing into the control tower, guns blazing, before watching the carnage from 14 mouth watering camera angles.
Later on, I'll taxi my F22 into a hanger, before using the ejector seat and viewing in slow motion my pilots neck snap like a twig.
Who doesn't get enjoyment out of such fast paced gameplay?

I loved Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator™.
It was great.
I kept attempting kamikazes into other planes with my lovely Spitfire.
