Want a game like Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation on PC? Here are nine alternatives

The Ace Combat series has nailed the sweet spot between arcade and flight simulation. You can master its modern and near-future jets without reading a dictionary-length user manual, and still feel like you’re controlling the aircraft. Other flight games that lean too far into the arcade can leave you with the sense that you were on rails the whole time.

Flight games used to be the bread and butter of PC. Combat Flight Simulator, Crimson Skies, F-16 Fighting Falcon, and a string of other titles were released in the ‘90s and ‘00s before largely drying up as the audience for mass market flight games moved elsewhere. Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation never made it to PC, but Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown did - it's the first triple-A flight combat game on PC in ages, and so that’s reason enough to be excited about it.

In some cases we’re looking at games that are a little more accessible than Ace Combat, in others we’ve gone in the opposite direction and suggested full flight sims. And one, well, one game doesn’t involve flying at all.
