Aces High 3 is a really fun similar fighting ww2 based combat sim
I wonder if Aces High 3 works well on LINUX thru an emulator like WINE. And I wonder if you'd need a monster computer to get a smooth frame rate through emulation like that. LAC, BTW runs very very nicely on cheap laptops and even does pretty well on Raspberry Pi 4b.

Pretty much everything about LAC is easy to find thru the links there.

Not LAC, but it's "dad" GL-117, yes. Flightgear was much better, (and today FG graphically curb-stomps LAC) but as a quick match against the CPU, it was fine. Xonotic and Red Eclipse 2 began as quick, improved Q3A FPS clones and now they are pretty well known in lots of places with their mechanics being utterly ripped to set fakely placed as novelties and "revolutionary gameplays" into propietary AAA games.
Here is a link to the online reviews from SourceForge, by people that HAVE played it: https://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxaircombat/reviews/
As I said, the game is to GL-117 as Supertuxkart over Tuxkart, or Speed Dreams over Torcs.

Untill you play it. I said the same in ~2003 with the first Deus Ex. Dull graphics, not the best usage of the first Unreal engine, cliché conspiacies almost straight from the X-Files series and common urban legens. Yet the emergent gameplay and the semi free-roaming playability made it better than most FPS crapware being shold from 2002 to 2009 save for Half Life 2 and Crysis. This might not be the best game on the f…
So did you play Linux Air Combat and what are your impressions?

So you are sending me a links which makes my point even more better? Thanks :) As I said, the game is to GL-117 as Supertuxkart over Tuxkart, or Speed Dreams over Torcs.
Yeah, I don't think "lightweight" is very honest when the game looks like this.
For a 56MB AppImage binary it looks very good.
Is there anything like a source port of Chuck Yeager’s Air Combat? I suppose this is not it.

You're comparing something that literally looks like a movie to a game that nobody would even dare giving away for free in cereal packs.
Alright, compare to up and coming air combat game Tiny Combat Arena, which requires at least 1GB.
But I have played LAC and LAC looks better to me. Especially the terrain graphics and clouds.

I haven't played Tiny Combat Arena but their video promos look very much like ysflight, which I have played a lot. I mean Tiny Combat Arena really looks very very much like ysflight. I wonder if it's a fork of the ysflight code. I don't think ysflight ever published their source code and Tiny Combat Arena is a sold-for-profit app, so we'll probly never know. But I have played LAC and LAC looks better to me. Especiall…
