Microprose European Air War - with user mods. Check out
http://www.simhq.com/simhq3/sims/bo...?ubb=forum;f=41
and http://groups.msn.com/THEEAWLAUNCHPAD/
These people are breathing life into this old sim. It has great online
play, is easy on the old equipment (plays well on a PIII-550, even ok on
a PII-333). Modders have improved flight models, graphics, sound, made
new theatres, plane models. Graphics nowhere near IL2/PF but gameplay
more engaging with a full gameworld - hundreds of planes in combat. The
community is very friendly.
For single player - there is Battle of Britain II - Wings of Victory -
out any day soon http://www.shockwaveproductions.net/default.htm .I have
the original Rowan game but my PC isn't fast enough.
Aces High by Hitech Creations is good for massive multiplayer and free
for offline or 8-player H2H http://www.hitechcreations.com/ .It also
supports toebrakes and trimming so is fun for touch-and-goes and carrier
landings.

My pick is Aces High, and for the best WWII aerial action, especially
scenarios in Aces High. If you like air to ground, check out
especially the Coral Sea scenario in the second of the two following
links.
