Combat simulator or one-on-one games
Anyone out there know of any Simulated Combat computer games? Especially one where two players can play remotely.
Ya know, cabin fever is gettin' pretty deep up here in the Northern climes so we need a distraction.
Anyhow, we have to get back in practice to beat those Southern guys who are probably out there in shorts and T-shirts as we speak.

<br />Keith, a long time ago I used to battle some friends on-line with an F-22/ Raptor program.(Best Buy?) It was jet combat, but it was realistic. You might check it out. I flew it with a joystick and the program was tons of fun mono also----------rick

Keith, the best/only online combat game I know of is Socom, brian played it for quite awhile until the guys who had all the cheat codes ruined it. There was a Socom III (I think) that supposedly immune to the codes. It's for PS2, I think. Not exactly what you were looking for but it's "combat!" And pretty cool!
Get a gym and a couple of slow sticks. Cut a roll of the 1000 sheet scott tissue into about 5 rolls on a band saw. Attacht the tissue (about 15 ft) with a piece of masking tape and chase streamers. It worked for me last winter. I plan on pitching my 3696 into the air in my backyard as soon as the temperature gets up to about 30. Need some test flights before the Lone Star Nats in only 4 weeks.[:p]

there are a couple of planes with streamers on the tips, you are supposed to be able to put the streamers on other planes (haven't figured that one out yet).
the streamers follow the plane realistically but don't react to outside imput.....another words, you can't cut the streamer.....i've tried.
i'm sure they could change that if they were so inclined. this simulator is amazing though. the leaves move out of the way from your propwash, it is very realistic.

A week before my first ever real combat meet I got something like combat from my G2 system. I recorded a flight with a maneuverable plane flying close in randomly. I had a smoke stream in black that looked like a streamer. I planned to replay it and then give chase with the same plane that I altered the colors on to match my first planes. Everything worked except the smoke stream didn't replay. I was able to chase the othrer plane however.
Since I have not been able to get out and fly much other than Electrics these days I have been playing alot of
ACES HIGH II on line. Always a good time for me. Just look For SPADDAWG and you will find me flying P-38's or B-17s in the late war arena's.
