A lot of guys I know play Il-2 it's successors. I'm not into WWII flight sims anymore but I know that this is one of the best out there.

Try IL-2 Sturmovik, you can't go wrong on that one. If you are not sure about it, you can always find the demo version on COMBATSIM.

It represents the first version, but gives you a very good idea of the full game. The latest installment, IL-2 1946, regroups all previous versions.

Compared with the sims you mentioned, and which I tried myself, I think it's fair to say that IL-2 simply blows them away in nearly every field.

As for multiplayer you have Hyperlobby, which should keep you busy for some time !

 

Hope this was of any help to you.

Take the good old European Air War or Battle of Britain II.

BOB2 is the way to go, especially with 2.08 or 2.09 patches. Sturmovik (FB) has great variety of planes, nice scenery, but somehow plastic feel and cheating AI.

I'd have to go with IL2 '46 as well, for 20 - 30 bucks, it has a full mission builder, a quick misison builder, PLENTY of dynamic campaigns with the enjoyer patch, and multi-player. Can't beat it, i've played Janes WWII fighters, CFS1, EAW, and the Aces series by Dynamix back in the day. I LOVE WWII sims, and IL2 has stayed on my HD since the moment I bought it!

Since you talked about MP, I'll just mention that BoB2 has no multiplayer. If you want to fly online, Il-2 is the way to go. For offline, BoB2 is just as good.

You aren't kidding about the AI!

Possibly the AI with the biggest BS factor in any flight sim EVER. :grin:

Not forgetting, omitting!

 

BA is great fun on my 360, on the big screen with the gamepad. It is also WWII flight. It is not a sim.
