So I was looking for a good combat flight simulator a few weeks ago and ended up not really finding anything I liked. Sai "We're Outta Fuel" Andra suggested DCS, and holy shit did I ever get suckered into it. Any of you guys that might find air combat interesting, or flight in general, get it. It's free to start out, and you get two free planes and one map. They will keep you busy for weeks. You'll be entertained and confused for a looooong time. It's an absolute blast though. When I finally break down and get internet again, DCS will probably be 90% of what I play online. Well, when I actually know my way around an aircraft. It's so good that I'm probably going to buy one of the modules/expansions this week just because I feel like they did such a good job with it that they deserve the money. -Travis

The DLC goes on sale every couple months like clockwork. Usually about a 50% discount. Keep an eye out.
I have the A10C and the Huey although I don't think I've ever even flown the Huey. I just bought it when it was cheap. I spent more time than I care to admit learning the A10. They call it a "study sim" and indeed I had to do some studying. I got as far as being able to do a cold start without a checklist, takeoff, navigate around and land. The weapons systems are a whole other beast and I just haven't had time to jump in. Very fun though. About as realistic as we can expect.

I might bring everything to the shop this weekend just to fly with you guys lol. Still haven't figured out how to get a USB tether going through my phone yet. Straight Talk is a bitch about tethering.
