I don't. I'm more of a commercial/big plane guy, I've never really gotten into the military stuff.

I'm pretty boring, when I was using FS I'd only fly the PMDG 737-700 or the Level D 767 painted in my own fake airline livery.

I'm more of a realism guy, fly the actual plane as realistically as possible using the proper SIDs/STARs/Routing, call the airport and get the ATIS, use real world weather, program the FMS for proper density/payload/fuel burn, etc.

The most adventurous I ever got was trying to fly an Airbus, after 10 years flying the Boeing I couldn't really get up to speed with the way the Eurotrash operate things, so I went back to the 73G.

You should try it. It's pretty fun. Flying TACAN and set waypoints, dropping guided GPS bombs. Using MODE4 IFF. Landing on carriers, that game has it all. Lots of fun, but there's a fricking learning curve like no other.

If I was a real fighter pilot I would suck at dog fighting, but I can drop a JDAM and get back to base like a mofo.

I'd like to see a game that combines combat sims with military FPS. Both worlds being independent of each other, but missions are set for joint operations. Like one day your flying a CAP and get tasked to lay down ground support for troops that are surrounded by the enemy, because some guy playing his FPS made the call for the fast movers.

Or, you're tasked with hitting enemy targets of opportunity in front of ground movement from the grunts.

That would be cool.
