Ok now we know that at the peak of progress in flight simulation... it has come tumbling down like a stack of cards.


Combat flight was more popular than civil flight simulation back in the day.

I say it is time to return to our roots!

IT IS TIME FOR A COMBAT FLIGHT SIM TEA PARTY!!

Hehe :focus:

Ok... here are my entries for the glory years!

I always liked Aces over the Pacific and Over Europe. First introduction to the TigerKitty! :d

I, too, was a big fan of Aces of the Pacific. Aces over Europe never quite made it with me, though.

Those were the days (or were they?)

Ah man, Crimson Skies, what a hoot!

The planes look like they're directly of of a Bruce McCall National Lampoon short. Wonder if it'll still work with Vista? The CD is right abouve me as I type. Think I'll try to download.

Wow... yeah Flanker was good and I had Eurofighter... loved that one mission where you had to drop an GBU on a tunnel entrance.

The 'Aces' series by Dynamix were my absolute favorites when I was a kid.... must have come out when I was just the right age...

The sequel, "Secret Weapons Over Normandy", was a good one too (It was only for Xbox/Ps2 though)

Yeah I liked Janes... did not have the campaign modeling that Dynamix series and EAW had.

Here's another one!
