I want some space sim action, any good mods I should try?

I have always been a fan of the Space Combat Simulator genre. Ever since I played WC1 and X-Wing. I have played every space sim released by Origin or Lucas Arts, and Privateer is the best of them all.

I had really high hopes for FL but I was extremely dissapointed with it

In fact I completely stopped playing space sims after FL. (Only played Unknown Enemy and Standoff mods for WCP... they are excelent btw.)

AFAIK there have been released no games in this genre for ages, and I feel very sad about that fact.

I am having serious redrawals. I probably played X-Wing Alliance 10 times through because of the exclent space sim (Probablt the best simulator out there). But the story is getting extremely dull

I need something to play... so what can you guys recccomend? Any mods or *gosh* recent games I didnt hear about?

Edit:

Oh btw... did anyone ever figure out how to put in a decent control system instead of that awful consol arcade style´?

If you are into the Star Wars series of games, then some mods you might want to try are Freeworlds, Tie-Universe or Tides of War. My personal faverite, for obvious reasons, is Freeworlds. The 1.65 version is still available for download from this site, but is coming upto a year old. 1.66 is something else though completely, though we haven't quite finished on the development side, we are not far off now. You can see some screenies of Freeworlds 1.66 during testing in the Mod Art and Freeworlds News section at the Freeworlds Development site:

Freeworlds 1.65 is a year old! Wow. Cant wait for 1.66. Tie Universe is ok but Freeworlds is the better star wars mod. There are many mods, just browse the downloads and pick 'em. Theres mods for babylon 5, star trek, and totally new ideas. Im sure there is a privateer mod somewhere, ill try and find it and let you know

Don't stop at mods. Go to amazon and fork over $2.50 for a copy of Starlancer. You won't be disappointed.
