head to head Flight sim game?

Thanks all for the ideas for a racing game, now has anyone got an idea for a good, simple head to head combat flight sim - must be simple to set up over a lan, work on triple screens, and be easy/fun to play?

Its not a sim but Crimson Skies, although Ive never played it, nothing else came to mind.

The only one that fits what you're after would be Lock-On Modern Air Combat with the Flaming Cliffs 2 addon.

There are plenty of other sims out there but they are all study sims, so wouldn't fit your requirement of being 'simple'.

You could try Wings of Prey. Also worth a look is IL2 1946 but it's showing its age now.

My personal preference for multiplayer sim is Lock ON FC2 (requires original Lock On).

is there a WW2 one, as guns is simple to pick up, used to have WW2 Fighters which was ok, anyone know of any others?

See Nate's post above, two of the sims he suggests are prop plane based.

thats great - an additional requirement is to be able to play head-to-head and keep a tally of who is winning on a kind of leaderboard - most kills/deaths etc tec any of them do such a thing?

I can only really speak for Lock On and IL-2, they have scoreboards, but I'd be very surprised if Wings of Prey didn't have one too.

Anyone remember airattack on wireplay? that was an easy to pick up and fun game. I believe there are still servers about for it.
