Pretty new to this genre as I avoided until I had a flightstick.

Have put together a list of older games to play (on a toaster, so nothing past early 2000s). I've come up with:

Freespace series (pic related)

Descent trilogy

Hardwar

Wing commander games

Tie Fighter / x-wing

Rogue squadron (the n64 port on PC)

Terminal Velocity

Freelancer

Tachyon the fringe

Any feedback or omissions to this list feel free to say. I'll try and play through the final list in release order too.

Freespace Open is pretty much all you need :^)

Though that said Indepence War series is worth a look, so is Starlancer. Freelancer is not a space fighter sim and is frankly babies first space game tier. Wing Commander despite what a lot of fags may say is overrated to be honest. House of the Dying Sun is worth a look into but isn't as promising as it was when it was still Enemy Starfigher. You've also missed out heavily on some decent mods like Galactic Conquest for BF1942 that had some decent Starfighter combat in it

X games are still the only good space games.

Is Project Sylpheed any good?

Freelancer doesn't need a flightstick. In fact, it plays horribly with it. It's optimized for keyboard and mouse.

Is there any way to play TIE Fighter 1998 without it asking for a joystick? It always ask for it.
