Luftwaffe Commander - PC Games
Jan. 1999 - Eagle Interactive

Luftwaffe had the makings of an interesting, offbeat simulator, but without some serious patching and a complete re-issue, it will remained nearly unplayable.
Mar. 1999 - ParSoft Interactive
Oct. 1999 - Psygnosis

Late in the game during a surge of WWII flight sims released in the late 90s, Nations entered a crowded field, offered nothing new to the masses, and its flawed flight model kept the simulation fanatics away.

WarBirds II - PC Games
1999 - Interactive Magic

Newer version of the online multi-player WWII flight simulator WarBirds. This version simply adds more aircraft a player can control.

Mar. 2002 - Looking Glass / Mad Doc

Looking Glass spent 2.5 years developing this game, until Electronic Arts pulled funding from it. A deal was reached to have Mad Doc Software finish developing the simulator, and Xicat would publish it.
Sep. 2002 - iEntertainment Network

This new version of the online Multi-player WWII flight simulator WarBirds adds a lot of graphical and terrain enhancements, more detail to the planes, and an expanded and very detailed offline pilot training academy.

Nov. 2003 - LucasArts / Lawrence Holland
Dec. 2003 - Activision

Based on the WarBirds III engine, this simulation funded by The History Channel revolves around the Battle of Britain in 1940.
Sep. 2004 - Shockwave

This add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 makes it about as real as can possibly get to fly one of the famous WWII heavy bombers.

Pacific Fighters - PC Games
Oct. 2004 - 1C Maddox

From the developers that brought out the award winning IL-2 Sturmovik flight sims, Pacific Fighters is based on the same engine and shifts the campaign over to the Pacific theatre. And just like IL-2, it has also generated a massive amount of online modding and communities centered around this sim.
Prelude's rating:
Aug. 2005 - Shockwave / A2A Simulations

A re-make of Rowan's Battle of Britain, it entered a small market while most sim fans were busy modding their IL-2 and Pacific Fighters. But due to its historical accuracy, it remains popular among WWII enthusiasts, and won several awards including SimHQ's Best of 2006 award.
Jun. 2006 - Shockwave

This add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator X brings incredible realism to flying many of the famous WWII fighter planes.
People who added this item 3 Average listal rating (2 ratings) 5.5 IMDB Rating 0
Feb. 2007 - Wild Hare

A modified version of Battle of Britain II: Wings of Victory, this game had a lot less focus on realism and more so on arcade-style gameplay for novice players.
People who added this item 12 Average listal rating (8 ratings) 9.3 IMDB Rating 0
Mar. 2007 - 1C Maddox
Rather than release new versions, 1C Maddox pushes out new IL-2 releases as compilations. This latest includes all previously released IL-2 games and add-ons, all patches, as well as new aircraft and a 1946 'what-if' scenario complete with all concept prototype aircraft that were on the drawing boards when WWII ended. This DVD compilation also includes Pacific Fighters, a stand-alone game, but needed to take advantage of this simulator's massive online modding community.
