Best modern-day military fighter

Featured Replies

Any views on what freeware or payware represents the best modern-day military fighter in FS2004? I'm thinking of aircraft from the past two decades. Thanks for your opinions! :)

Freeware...-Kirk Olsson F-16C & F-16D models each with varous loadouts.-FS_KBT F/A-18E/F/G agian with varous load-outs-FSD-International T-38 was built for FS2K2 but works well in FS9 -see payware list they have just released an upgraded version for FS9Payware...-aerofoundry F/A-18A/B/C/D http://www.aerialfoundry.ca/home.htm-alphasim F-4 many different varients http://www.alphasim.co.uk/-FSD-International T-38 and you get the C-17 tossed in as well. www.fsd-international.comThere are other's but these should get you started...:-outtahttp://publish.hometown.aol.com/p3superb/i...s/sign_name.jpgThere is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".- unknown"My daddy gives me up, to fight for you"- a US Military Members Child

The Lago F-16 was nice. It needed some updates but thats not going to happen. Too bad it was a great plane in FS2002.

F-16's are boring, its like the military version of the reliable old 737, id say the Eurofighter Typhoon is one of the best fighters out there; there are none on avsim but simviation has a load.

The Aerosoft A-10 is quite nice, not exactly a fighter but very detailed - can be a little rough on the system thoughwww.aerosoft-shop.com

Lago's Tornado is a pretty nice in FS9. Aerialfoundry's F/A-18's are fantastic.As mentioned the freeware F/A-18 Superhornets and F-16s that are here at Avsim are terrific.Its not a fighter but the P-3 Orion is pretty cool also.:DPlus there are plenty of models to add in your AI traffic at your local military installations.Kev

the Dassault Mirage 2000N on avsim is very nice, almost payware quality for free.

If you get an aircraft carrier, along with some F-14's (and AI too) that can be pretty sweet, but Id rather take a passenger plane up any day, simply because i prefer flying which is about precision, timetables and navigation :(. zooming around in F-14's make me think i should be in some gung ho top-gun style fighter game. Fighters do have their uses though, such as checking out scenery or practicing landings (if u can do it in a figher u can do it in a pas jet :))will :-wave

Dino's F-14...Kirk's F-16s...Aerosoft A-10...Aerialfoundry F-18s...

"F-16's are boring, its like the military version of the reliable old 737"Yeah ok :-roll

"the Dassault Mirage 2000N on avsim is very nice, almost payware quality for free."Thanks for the tip--I've been looking for different types of flying to do as of late--also seems some nice repaints are available too...-John

I would like to try the Dassault, but all the documentation is in French. Does anyone have an English translation?Tony

Captain Sim's F-104. Hardest plane to land in FS9 IMHO.

typhoon_11.zipYou may or may not be right relative to availability on avsim. I don't remember where I downloaded it. Look around.Happy flying:RTH

the Hunting/BAC Jet Provost T.Mk5 v 2.0 jetprovostt5v2.0.zipBy Rick Piper is great for blasting through the vallysand the Galeb-2 v1.1galeb_11.zipby Luka Midic and Goran Savic is outstanding.
