"Heroes in the Sky is an intense airborne MMOTPS (Massively Multiplayer Online Third Person Shooter) that combines high impact PVE and fast paced PVP as it chronicles the events from the beginning to the end of World War II. PVP combat is taken to a new level as players must not only worry about the basic dangers from the front, behind, and sides, but also from above and below. Heroes in the Sky is dog fighting at its finest; cannon fires, machine gun blasts, missiles, and bombs flood the skies as up to 16 players shoot it out for air superiority! If that isn't enough for you, soar across the sky with WWII war planes, and if you're lucky with modern planes."

Flight simulators are among the most niche of the niche games. They focus on a particular genre (flying combat) and take it to such an extremely realistic level that most players can't get into the game. However, there is one flight simulator that manages to be both realistic and fun to a general audience. Released in 2001 by Ubisoft, it was before a time of restrictive DRM and needless DLC, and even now sits as an example of what continued support can do for a game's legacy. I'm talking about IL-2 Sturmovik, and its attention to detail in every aspect of the game makes it a classic of the flying combat genre.
