Have you tried the IL-2 Sturmovik series? Its been morphed into sequels such as Pacific Aces and a new 1946 standalone scenario game. All the games in the series are all compatible to each other allowing every aircraft in the series to fight each other even though such matches historically never happened.
I have never seen a game so thoroughly researched as this one, and every new revelation discovered on WWII aircraft and their performance characteristics are included into every patch. I've never seen a game and developers so insistent on authenticity. The forums are well populated and quite active with aviation buffs talking and arguing about the very fine details of aircraft like the Spitfire. The game can be said to include everything including the kitchen sink if it can fly; they got every variant of the ME-109 for example. You can create combinations like La-5 vs. Japanese Raiden.
For modern air combat, I would suggest the Lock On Modern Air Combat series, simply referred to as LOMAC. It has been expanded from its original version to include Hokum helos. There are about more than thirty aircraft you can combat against, and about five you can fly, the Su-27/33, MiG-29A/C, F-15A/C, the A-10 and variants of the Su-25.
I especially like the detail that has gone into the Flanker. I recommend this game to people who like to have some introduction on modern air combat.
