OK! Prop or Jets, Guns or Missiles, which do you, think should be the next Flight Sim they bring out? Either CFS 4 or LOMAC or what ever and why!  :(

One rule on the thread however:  ???   This is an opinion no one needs to call anyone names if you do not agree with someone

Yo Student,
 Lately I've been hooked on 1930's aircraft, ya know fast bi-planes (almost 300 mph) and monoplanes with fixed landing gear.  Those pesky little aircraft were maneuverable as hell and some were very heavily armed, 50 cals. MGs and in some cases 20 mm cannon, could do alot of damage real fast.  For me nothing beats the thrill of trying to follow an I-15 through a split S!!  
 Also that period of time seems to have been over looked by many and aerial warfare in the skies over China and Spain forgotten, even though they set the stage for air combat in the Second World War.
 Runner up is jets with GUNS.  These were the last of the gun slingers. Be it a Mig-15 against a F-86 or a F-8 Crusader vs. a Mig-17 the spirit of the "duel in the air" was there.
 Either way its gotta be guns!  Missiles are to impersonal.

 
       

I think that props are very good but jets are much better

Denishc, You have a valid point.

I personally prefer flying the early jets, I think a good Korean War sim would be nice, especially since Mig Alley is getting long in the tooth.

Props with Guns all the way!! I just love planes with big fans in front and a huge brace of machine guns in the wings! Using this rule I have gound my perfect plane!

Yo Woodlouse2002,
 And your perfect plane is.............?
 

Hawker Hurricane MkIIB/C/D

Why not come

Yo P4,
 How about helo dogfighting!  Now there's a concept, I know some have talked about it but I've never seen it done.  Would it be like combat in zero g?

I might be a lover of Comanche but I love the F-22 with missiles because I have got F-22 Lightning 3 and I love firing missiles at MiG-29s

JETS

I like the supermarine spitfire the most, good handling, well-armed... multi-purpose, they even made seafires (u guessed it, aircraft carrier based spitfire)

I'd like to see CFS4 as a cold war sim that takes place between 1945-1970. They should include aircraft like the Saber, Avro Arrow, Hawker Sea Fury, Avro Vulcan, MiG 15, odoo, P-80, etc. That way you'd get a healthy balace of prop and jet. I'd make the game dynamic like CFS3, it would start out historical but what you do effects the whole outcome of the war. For example, say your doing recon for the CCCP (USSR) and you accidentally blow up a US civilian target, this could lead to the US nuking Russia. The cold was is better the than late WWII environment of CFS3 because there were a million things that could have gone right/wrong.

Another thing that could happen is say your playing for Canada (Playable nations in my version would inculde US, Canada, UK, USSR, Korea, and Vietnam), in one game Canada might put the Arrow into production while it might not in another, make everything dynamic that's what people like. In my idea of CFS4, everything would be variable. We have the technology to do it so lets turn up the simulated heat on game play.    

I think there should be a Gulf War Flight sim, with F-15, f-16, and Iraqi Jets. Or a WWI Sim, that would be NEAT!!
