it's a very subectve matter....you should try yourself to decide wich is the best

[Romflyer 25]

with so many downloads out there one cant expect to try ALL of them, surely sharing some of your favourites wont hurt anyone, I'm not asking for the worst downloads to stay away from them, I'm asking for your opinions on the best to share!!

One of my favourites is the Mirage factory F-15, and I recently got an F-23 that seemed pretty cool, as for scenery I got the Black Sea Campaign and thinks it's great. I also recently got a fix to remove the radar screen from my top right veiw(huge improvement)

Let's see...I think I am detecting a pattern here...

In my opinion the best modern plane is the F-14D, Anytime baby!

The F-4 ES is also a great plane, and I think the Vietnam 1984 is a great campaign.

There are alot of addons that are well worth downloading.

 

Without saying this one is better than any other, the ones i really like are...

 

F-16C Block 30 - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=1571

 

F-22A - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5950

 

F-35A - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=7352

 

F/A-18F - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=7043

 

As for Terrain Maps, Check out the...

 

Bering Straits(DBS) - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6907

 

Israel2 - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=7430

 

A Mod i can suggest is the RWR upgrade - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=7072

 

 

That should get you started but its only the tip of the iceberg and i'll bet that in a few weeks you will have almost everything installed like the rest of us. This community has turned out alot of great stuff and once you start adding things its hard to stop!

Nope.. wait... <<cough>> P.11c

 

Nope I see no pattern here.

 

[+Spectre_USA 7]

All good suggestions, and if you have any prior history, ie OLD, like me, you gotta get the Typhoon by BongoDriver;

 

EF2000

 

One exceedingly well done piece of kit.

 

[+Baltika 85]

For WW2 may I dare to suggest the Battle of Britain all-in-one campaign mod, right here:

No bias there at all

 

More modern campaign packs well worth your time are:

 

Falklands campaign by Kesselbrut:

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6700

 

Harrier campaign by JSF_Aggie

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5390

 

The OTC package by Dave, C5 and others is one of the best:

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=3874

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=3873

 

NATO Fighters 2 by C5 et al for WoE is essential:

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=3348

 

And MK2's Vietnam 1984 and Iran/Iraq campaigns are also extremely good.

 

Just a few of my top picks.

 

Cheers,

 

Baltika

 

 

PS

 

cellinsky's widesky mod and the terrain tileset/treemod upgrades by Brain32 and CA_Stary are absolutely essential.

Thanks for the ideas guys, I have to say that the shining star of the bunch is the superhornet that warlord gave a link to one question though......this is the second F18 that I have downloaded for this game and neither has had flaps, isnt an F18 supposed to have flaps?

They would be computer controlled flaps on an F-18 I believe - so you wouldnt be able to lower them in game by default.
