Right, getting back into gaming, it's been a while.
I have downloaded Elite 2: Fontier, but with no sound it's a pain, plus I can't work out how to hyperspace (any manuals for it out there?). I used to love elite, great game, hence me wanting to play it.
I HAVE seen the thread about Freelancer, and might look it up, maybe.
Anyway, I also fancy a flight sim type thing. I used to have F/A 18 and Falcon on the Amiga, and I rather liked them, so anything similar for the PC (nice free one would be cool
)
So, recommendations please.

F/A 18 on my amiga
I used to love that game, the last mision was bloody hard (sink the sub I believe)
The PC vers was called Jetfighter.
If you're into not-quite-so-serious flight combat sim then I play F-22 Raptor3 (or it's sister games F/16 and Mig29 - you can play all 3 over a lan against each other) You can pick all3 up in a compilation pack for around £15
