Wife bought me a Saitek X55 for Xmas what to play?

[Marcdaddy]

Hi guys my wife got me a Saitek X55 and combat peddles for Christmas, The surprise was wrecked when she used a Joint Credit Card and I got the bill lol. Anyways I love all types of games, I plan on building a dedicated Flight sim/ Space sim setup alongside my G27 setup. Question is what games to get to have fun with it. I currently have Hawken, MechWarrior Online, Bf3/4 and Wings of Prey, that's it. Im open to any and all suggestions! Thanks guys.

FlightGear is a pretty amazing open source sim, can take a little configuring to get the "bombable" module that adds combat working right though. Its physics is second to none.

for quick matchmaking try warthunder

Dcs looks good, anything that has a Arcade feel? Downloading War Thunder right now. Space combat maybe Elite?

If you're willing to go with something older, Freespace 2.

Elite Dangerous is you want to scratch your space sim itch. X3 if you want to go nuts.

Are you looking for like actual "flight sims" or just general flying games?

Rise of Flight is probably one of the best "flight sims" out there that covers WWI era airplanes.

Warthunder is a great pick up and play arcade flight game that has a very active MP community.

If you are looking for space games the newest decent one is Elite Dangerous:

DCS. I suggest Flaming Cliffs 3 to start.

If you are looking for an arcade feel, try HAWX or HAWX 2. I played HAWX with an X52 Pro and really enjoyed it.
