So, you can't play DCS? Play this other game instead!

DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) is the current and undisputed king of the combat flight simulation video game niche. There is not much I can say about the total awesomeness of that title that most of you wouldn't know already. Unfortunately, many of us don't have a NASA level PC to run DCS as it should or just can't run it at all.

Strike Fighters 2 is a PC combat / flight simulator game that primarily centers on a fictitious conflict in the Middle East from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. The conflict is modeled as a typical Cold War era 'proxy' war between the United States and USSR.

The game includes quiet a lot of playable aircraft available in the game that are still not included in other games like DCS. Among those planes available to play with are several variants of the A-7 Corsair, F-100A Super Sabre, Hunter F.1, Meteor F.8 and more.

Obviously in terms of "realism" Strike Fighters 2 is a way simpler game to play. In my opinion it has the right balance between hard core flight simulation and arcade type games leading to an easier learning curve. 

Are you interested in this game? What do you think about it? The game is still available for purchase and supported by its original developer Third Wire Productions.
