Answer 1

Sorry but there is almost no such thing as a combat flight simulator, except the one made by Microsoft a few years back, and a freeware title from Japan. All the big combat titles like Ace Combat, Chuck Yeager, Hawx, etc, have no realistic flight model. Ace Combat is probably the most arcade-ish of the bunch, giving even the worst-equipped planes over 60 all-purpose missiles, allowing many fighter planes to carry up to 18 large bombs (??!!) and allowing you to perform crazy 9 or 10g turns without blacking out, and high negative g turns without redding out. Not a simulation.

In a real simulator, one of the most vital things to winning air combat is to  slow down to a speed where you can pull off tight turns without having your teeth pushed down into your guts or out the top of your skull by the g-forces. Planes that remain over 300 knots end up back out of visual range within a few seconds.

Microsoft Flight Simulator has been decent about simulating the g-forces, but their last combat sim was pretty old. I think Flight Simulator X has some combat though.

If you don't care about it being a realistic sim, you could get either Ace combat 6, or Tom Clancy Hawx, or Lock On. Lock On is a pc-exclusive title. I don't know if AC6 has online, I know Hawx does but it's a Tom Clancy game which I consider a negative. Usually a game will put Tom Clancy in its title if it sucks and needs extra incentive to sell titles.

There is one free flight simulator that does have very realistic combat, including blackouts, redouts, the right number and type of weapons, the right stall speeds, a realistic flight physics model, and even very realistic takeoffs and landings. It's called YA sim and it was made by a Japanese professor. You can find it with a search engine. It's got most all the planes too.

One good thing Ace Combat has is pretty graphics and some nice missions that coordinate air and ground combat. But again, your fighter plane has 70 missiles and 20 bombs, and yaw is stable no matter how you use the rudder, etc...

Answer 2

All the Ace Combats, great series if your into that kind of thing

Answer 3

No, chances are you would have heard of it yourself if it was any good online.
