Flight Sim's Anyone?.
« 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

last one i ever owned: http://reviews.cnet.com/pc-games/usaf-pc/4505-9696_7-31803897.html

still got my sidewinder pro joystick, but the game doesn't work too well anymore under a newer OS than win 98.

played that thing way too much for my own good.   :whistling:

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! :@#\

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
F117A Night Hawk

F29 Retialiator
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.
* Lanarel 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
