if you like flight sims, the pc is the only real place for them.

Crimson Skies comes to mind, but it's more arcade-y than the Ace Combat series. Phenomenal game, though.

i'm not a fan of flight sims myself, i'm a arcade flyer type who loves the ace combat series, unfortunately the xbox doesn't have much to offer in that regard:

AirForce Delta Storm
Secret Weapons Over Normandy
Heroes of the Pacific
Wings of War
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge

mind you most of those are prop-driven planes, the closest to ace is delta storm, and it's not much of a comparison at all, if you'll prob like crimson, it's a bit of a sci-fi meets the 1940's deal, and the upcoming blazing angels will probably blow the other WWII ones away, other than that if you've beaten both Ace's on the ps2, grab your wallet because Ace Combat Zero will be out this year

Of those listed above, AirForce Delta Storm and Heroes of the Pacific and to a lesser degree Secret Weapons over Normandy are going to be your more Ace Combatey games. Wings of War really is a so so title and didnt feel all that Ace Combatish and Crimson Skies is much more arcadey and is an excelent flying game with some good story and depth to it.

Let's also not forget Blazing Angels, which the Xbox (along with the 360) will be getting in the coming months. Looks like that could definitely help fill your flight-sim-combat needs.
