Looking for modern combat flight sim

[mrcool]

I'm looking for a modern combat flight sim. I mean modern in both senses - fairly new (doesn't require DOSBOX to run) and not WWI/WWII/Vietnam era. Do I have any options?

I'll probably get IL2 since it's so cheap now. I'm also considering Falcon 4.0 and USAF, but I'd like to know if I'm missing anything.

Thanks.

Not sure if you would consider this, but Tom Clancy's HAWX. Ive heard that its a great flight sim game, but have yet to get it.

Try Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

Cheap?
Cheap?
The internet?

..Boy, do you know how to use the internet?!

Cheap?..Heh..

Microsoft Flight Simulator X is good, but it's kinda a pain in the butt to get used to.

I'm not sure what you mean by cheap cheap cheap. If you mean I can steal any game I want, I know that, and I'm not going to. I'm more interested if a good, modern combat flight sim even exists. USAF and Falcon 4.0 are pretty old (but not DOSBOX old.) So, yes, I know how to use the internet.

I'm also pretty sure that Flight Simulator X is not a combat sim. Am I wrong? It sure doesn't look like it. I don't want to fly from one pretty airport to the other. I want to kill some stuff along the way.
