   Who likes flight/space sims? and other good games
  Will anymore good ones ever be made?  Is the genre dead?  Is anyone here trying to make one?  Do you have a favorite(please post link)?I think we should have a sticky somewhere, like in the ''Your Announcements'' where everyone simply posts links to games they think are cool.  It would perhaps boost traffic to ''YA'' and make sure that that forum performs its intended function.  It just really feels cool when a little-known but (most likely)well-made game finally reaches completion, or my shores.  It gives me hope that someday my creations may actually go gold and that people will buy them and play them and enjoy them and send many e-mails telling me how wonderful they are.  Isn''t that what we all dream?  Let''s help others do the same.Do you have 20 bucks?http://www.echelon-windwarriors.net(Technically that isn''t a shameless plug as I did not make the game.)  Has anyone played it?While I''m at ithttp://www.aceofangels.com is a MMO space sim, but not free like http://www.freeallegiance.orghttp://www.massiveassault.comEmpty out those bookmarks.P.S. (This is for later, please ignore.) "COMMUNITY, community my butt!  I knew this would happen." 
  I''m a flight sim nut. Sorry I didn''t mean nut. I''m meant obsessed in a crazy sort of way. I really, really love flight sims. At this time my harddrive has the four big ones on it.- Lock On: Modern Air Combat: A fantastic fresh breath onto the embers of this dying genre.- IL-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles: Probably the best WWII flight sim there is right now.- Falcon 4: A classic that refuses to die even after several fatal shots.- Jane''s F/A-18E: Sadly pretty much a dead game, but still a hell of a lot of fun.I also occasionally enjoy a chopper ride and have Enemy Engaged - Comanche vs. Hokum to keep me happy.Then there is Operation Flashpoint with its horribly inaccurate flight models. But its a total blast to be able to fly a huey loaded with troops into a hot LZ and then support them with rockets and cannon fire. Of course with Flashpoints excellent multiplayer support, those troops could be human controlled making it even better. ;  I still have the 3 installer floppies for MS Space Simulator - I used to quite enjoy that Clicky;  If you liked MS Space Simulator then you would probably really like Orbiter.  ;  Wow, that looks pretty spiffy!I''ll have to find some time to download it... Thanks! ;  Enjoy! ;  Oh and while I''m at it, let me pimp my harrowing virtual survival one more time.Harrowing Virtual Survival;quote:Original post by benryves  I still have the 3 installer floppies for MS Space Simulator - I used to quite enjoy that Clicky Yes, I was going to mention MS Space Simulator -- I have very fond memories of that when I was a little younger (before I got into programming). I really liked exploring in that game, or trying to explore -- but stars were single pixels even if you fly right to them, and larger astronomical objects were sprites (like galaxies). It was a good engine for its time, but I wanted to actually feel like I was exploring the galaxy/universe. I still intend to make some sort of game like that... I haven''t yet played a space sim that made you feel like you were exploring... they all just lead you from one point to another, or give you an array of points to visit, because they''re all games, not actual sims.   ~CGameProgrammer( ); -- Post screenshots of your projects. There''s already 134 screenshot posts. ;  I used to enjoy playing Frontier: Elite 2.   [ DGDev -- The Delphi Games Development Community ] [ Help GameDev.net fight cancer ];  Colony Wars and Colony Wars: Vengence are two of my all-time favorite games (playstation). If only the third one (CW: Red Sun) didn''t suck...
