    might wanna check out Blazing Angels 1 and 2, both are fun arcadey WWII games, with lots of cool action.

    If you don't mind a bit of realism, then check out IL2:1946, wonderful sim

    All above available on Steam

    yes, crimson skies is GREAT. Wish they made a sequel.

    Comanche 4 is fun chopper game.

    Jetfighter series are like Ace Combat games.
