Title: Flight Sim's Anyone?.
Post by: Pyros_Wildfire on June 10, 2008, 10:26:06 pm

Just curious if there are any 'Falcon 4.0 - Allied Force' players here?.
If so I would love to hear from you and maybe take a spin around the block? :D

Hmm, not seen or heard of USAF but then there were so many sim's released I lost track lol.

I used to play Joint Strike Fighter alot when it was in it's time 1997-1999.
Fantastic game and looked even better when played on a Voodoo 3 gfx card ;D
I play with a Saitek X52, makes a hell of a difference!  \\o//

Although I have a hatred for SA-2's & SA-3's ... damned things! :@#\

you reminded me of the very first flight sim i owned.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Su-27_Flanker_(video_game) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Su-27_Flanker_(video_game))

didn't like it as much as Jane's.

I have two favourites and both are/were on the old Commodore Amiga and which I still play via an emulator (and for legal sake I own the original games) ;D

F/A-18 Interceptor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F/A-18_Interceptor)
F117A Night Hawk (http://www.lemonamiga.com/?mainurl=http%3A//www.lemonamiga.com/games/details.php%3Fid%3D2637)

F29 Retialiator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F29_Retaliator)
Took me weeks to be able to land without crashing :) Graphics were pretty good for such fast moving 3D graphics (this was 1990 :) ), flying was really nice and of course (from the wiki):
"The PC version allowed head-to head dogfighting using a null modem cable."

I remember F29 Retaliator... couldn't get into it though as I found the controls awkward... but the gfx were great for its time.

They were only awkward when landing. For flying (with keys and mouse) it worked really well./me remembers having friends trying to shoot him down, but crashing on the skyscrapers as they could not fly between them 90 degrees turned.

Is there also a "Soviet Force" edition?
I once had a nice flight sim, "F16-something" but there was no Mig  :'(
I do have a Logitech Wingman :D (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81HCD9GF7TL._SL500_AA280_.gif)
