Any good flight sims still around?

[Theabbot]

I am just about finished with my new gaming pc build, so I'm ready to start getting games. Other than FPS, Flight sims have always been my favorite type of game. There used to be lots of quality sims, Flight Sim X was the last big one I heard about, but not sure whats out there now.
Any recommendations?

It's been awhile, pc's used to have handfuls of good flight SIM games. Dunno what's out now other than your standard me flight SIM. Does it have to be realistic, or can it be more arcadey...

Crimson skies, and free space 2 used to be my ish...

As far as a flight sim...
Do you want Simulation or are u just Casually playing

X-Plane has a great community and is growing and is something different that Microsoft Flight Sim X
They still are actually working on it and have new versions for the future
FSX is closed

Im currently PCless and working on a building a new one so I haven't bought it yet
but I have played it
Its dope
From what I saw the aircraft aesthetics are better on XP but Scenery better on FSX
X-Plane 10 Global | The World’s Most Advanced Flight Simulator | X-Plane.com

FSX however has an even larger community and people developing addons all the time

Combat wise either
IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946:
or
Falcon 4
