I used to have a game for the Acorn Archimedes called chocks away which I enjoyed alot when I was younger.

Is there something similar avalable for the PC?

If not what flight sim would you recomend?

Im not all that interested in more modern stuff, some proppe dog fighting is what im after smile

Also.. I have a very old joystick but the twist rudder is broken, is there any way I can use my G25 pedals for rudder?

The pc should be able to take both controllers plugged in at once and recognise them as separate axis quite easily. I do the same for flight sim but it may depend on the game.

I remember playing this and enjoying it:

However I don't think there is anything newer out and you may struggle to get hold of it - however it may be it classes as abandonware and therefore sort of free.

efa: wrong game!

I think this might be too advanced for my laptop to run.

Looks nice though smile

I dont think that Flying Corps will work with XP.

Thanks for the link FWD, I thought you would find me something suitable.

I just need to download the full version of IL2 and I can give it a go biggrin

EDIT - Seems the IL2 mod isnt ready yet... I suppose I could just try IL2 first.
I downloaded the demo but I couldnt work out the controls properly.

There are a couple of biplanes in IL2 and you can set up custom dogfights and select which aircraft to use.

Make sure that you get the latest version of IL2 which is called 1946.

HTH smile
