I got a little overexcited by TIE Fighter's re-release and purchased a Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X flight stick, so I was just wondering if anybody had recommendations on good dogfighting games where I can make use of the stick outside of the Lucasarts games?
GOG has the Wing Commander series and Strike Commander. They also have Freespace 2, Descent 1&2, and Red Baron.
For something of a more serious sim, there's Il-2, also on GoG. Also, the re-released Wings. Rise of Flight is on Steam, but it's DLC hell. If you can get Air Combat Simulator 3, there's the mod-add on Over Flanders Field for WW1 flying.
Note: I've not really played any of those games, except Wing Commander on SNES. :P
World of Warplanes is suprisingly good re: flight dynamics, and much more stable than that other Russian hot mess. And it's free along the World of Tanks method.
I loved Wing Commander 2 and the Secret Missions so much when I was in middle school.
Person favorite was Crimson skies, but it's fairly old. Still it's fantastic.
For space, Free space 1 and 2 are fantastic games. F2 has a great community of modders, too, so you'll find entire new campaigns created by fans.
Strike Suit Zero is out on Gog, too, but I've never tried it

Il-2's rather dated, don't you think?
you want to go hardcore, go Falcon 4.0: Allied Force. There's nothing more realistic than spending 40 minutes doing a cold start :lol:.
