Hi there,

I thought I'd give the forum a start showing off a couple of space sims I know that feature the impressive realtime planetary flight, so if anyone knows any other that I didn't mention, he can share it with us and see if we can make a more or less complete list to see what's out there.

Infinity
An MMO still in the works with a very beautifull engine, seems like it's taking a loong time to develop... here are a couple of youtube Videos:

Tomorrow War
This is a russian singleplayer game that has already been released but it's only in russian, they're working on a translation, but i think I read somewhere that there might be english subtitles around the net, though you'd still have to import it from russia... Here are a couple of Youtube videos:

So, does anyone know of any other?

Cheers!

A few more I remember. They could be a little bit older. Still nice to look at ...

Those are pretty good! I´ve allways been impressed with Evochron, that guy sure made a nice universe with freeform flight in just a mere 25Mb! :shock:

Also, I did enjoy Universal Combat some time ago, It´s scope was incredible, but it´s really hard to make a game with so many genres (spacesim, FPS, RTS...), and in the end, the only really good one was the space sim part, the other were rather superficial.. Anyway you still gotta give credit to the guy, cause he´s been there for a lot of years, still creating games up to date based in his universe, not niche games anymore, but he´s still updating UC with his other game´s new graphics, thus making it a pretty actual game. In the end I gave it up after running out of things to do, because you never really advance your career or get any new ships.

I didn't know that orbiter flight sim, but it looks pretty interesting, I´ll be giving it a go whenever I get some time out of work.

Oh, I gotta admit I´ve never had the pleasure of playing Frotier Elite or other classics like Wing Commander, But they are well known wide and far, perhaps I´ll get to try them some day i get my hands on it, but I´m afraid I´ll probably be pushed back by their oldschool graphics...

On another note, there´s a pretty nice remake of the mythical Wing Commander on the vegastrike engine called Parallel Universe.

I fondly remember the free edition of BC3K :)
Buggy and hard (both to play and grasp) but very good :)
