Good thread. I've been wondering if there is a driving game out there which is to driving with Flight Simulator is to flight. RBR is good but it's all about driving down one bit of road alone - I'd like a mix of roads and other traffic.

Once again I would recomend Live For Speed. One of the games that I was "forced" to purchase, but no regrets. As far as other racing sims; Grand Prix Legends, Viper Racing and F12002 are the only good ones I know of. Anything from Need For Speed series, Colin McRae Rally to Pro Race Driver might be fun to play but are nowhere near real world phisics.
I would really like to hear other opinions on different hard core simulation games.

Richard Burns and Pacific are both quality products. Trully enjoyed them both. Never played Falcon 4.0 though. How does it compare to LOMAC ?

B-17 Flying Fortress: the mighty 8th is a very realistic game in more than one area. For a start, just the fact you can fly from England to Germany, and back again all in Real Time - avoiding enemy fighters, and anti-aircraft fire on the way to your objective - is great in itself.
Hitting the objective is obviously the key of the game, and playing as lead bomber you will need to be as precise as possible to maximise damage (Choose ammunition loadouts back at base to help you in this by getting the appropiate types for the situation) - needless to say like the real thing (with duds being a possiblity) it's very difficult at first and when watching your first de-briefing (which shows some black and white footage to display the damage) and finally realise that those hours were spent unnsuccessfully is actually kinda satisfying! Because although you failed you had to go through the whole gamut of getting in and out alive, intact and completing the objective. It can be very entertaining at times and eventually you'll get the hang of bombing and be there in no time.
You oversee the control and maintence of a squadron of bombers and their crew - who you can rename for some personal touches - you'll be assigned dynamic missions that require you to take out factories, docks (etc) that will then have effects on the war effort depending on how well you do (how many enemy fighters appear in proceeding missions is one example).
Getting caught in a blanket of Flak is an experience to be sure - and with a basic, but immersive crew management system it makes keeping them alive and happy an enjoyable side objective. Eventually as the thing continues apace you should make attachments to the crew even though there is very little personal interaction beyond hearing them scream when they've been hit by flak because of your flying 'skill' 
You do get to rotate your rosters, order crew around on the ship when flying, and take control of the little gunpods to ward off enemy fighters.
As a nice little aside you also get to fly as one of the escorts or german attack fighters in the single missions.
It's the remake/sequel to the original, but at the time it was a very large system hog - not to mention an aquired taste - so I am not sure whether it did well commercially; but it's a great game if your willing to invest the time and the engine will cause you no slowdown on todays systems and still looks the part.
There are also a wealth of 'realism' options like getting lost and such. Give it a try if you haven't already.
I see people recommending Silent Hunter III even though it's not out yet, I get the impression from what little I've read that it's heading down the same route as the above game - but while your waiting you might as well try it's previous outing number II as that's very good too and is very tense at times.
Operation Flashpoint was not semi-realistic at the time, it was the most realistic and it's representation of combat has still not been surpassed - the problem is that the gui and engine is lacking by todays standards. So roll on OPF2.
Flight Simulator 2004 is the better game, but X-Plane is the better simulator. You'll try the two and realise just how comical the physics in FS2004 really is. Good game, more expansive and supported by community - but not as good an experience in the air.
Oh and Falcon 4 suffered the same problem as Lomac at the time of release of being far too system intensive. It means that on both occasions I can't enjoy either of them due to lack of funds and incentive

First of, tnx to all for the input.
Ill be definitely checking out B-17 Flying Fortress, and Falcon. B-17 Flying Fortress looks quite promising since the idea of flying towards the target for hoursand hours just makes my panties wet.
I never enjoyed MS Flight Simulator since the very first one for "PC compatible/Tandy"  . You sould have seen the detail on that one. The only building in Chicago was the Sears tower and it was made of two black boxes with 2 vertical lines on top, thats it. It was still fun since no other 'sims' were out at that time.
As far as Operation Flashpoint, i never could get into it, and I tried several times. I understand that it should be quite realistic, especially since the same group of guys made VBS1 (im still waiting to get my hands on that one).
Ill have to install Ghost Recon again and see about that co-op mode, because I trully enjoy working as a team. In that respect I found Joint-Ops very fun to play, we had quite a few lan parties with that one.
Once again tnx for all the info, and If there are any others please let me/us know.
