I-War, I-War 2, I've Found Her, Homeplanet.

Thanks for that I hadn't heard of the last two at all. Are they worth
looking trying out?

I've Found Her was a B5 Fan project, I believe. Download it
and see for yourself.

Not sure about Homeplanet.

Calling what Descent has a "flight model" is a bit generous, but it
conveys the idea.  The only game that I can think of is Forsaken.  It's
a bit old now, but I remember the graphics were impressive when it came
out.  I think it was one of the first DirectX games.  The other poster
refered to IWar/IWar2.  IWar along with Terminus has what I'd call a
flight model, but it's nothing like Descent.  However, if it's strafing
that you are looking for those games deliver.  Also Freelancer has a
strafe mode.

Both games use same engine.

Use the nuke Luke!

There was a game that was basically a clone of Descent called Forsaken.

What Descent "did" was never bettered IMO. The first truly 3d
multiplayer space based shooter : awesome for the time.
