Can anyone recommend me a good game/flight sim where I can land a plane (F18) on a carrier?

Thanks

If you can get an Amiga emulator, then F/A 18 Interceptor allowed you to land on an aircraft carrier:

Might be a bit "old school" though biggrin

HAHAHAHHA

Which copy of X-Plane should I go for? I typed it into amazon and it returned lots of differents types. I may well take a look on eBay and get a joystick in the bundel as well.

You might also want to look on eBay for a copy of Janes F/A-18, if your sole interest is in the Hornet (or more specifically, the Super Hornet variant modelled by Janes). Don't confuse it with the Digital Integration sim with a similar name - F/A-18 Super Hornet - which isn't nearly as good.

Alternatively, LOMAC offers carrier ops with a Russian slant...
