OK, so I admit, this forum was a good idea!
I am glad you guys talked me into widening the scope of this forum for flight sims. Makes me wish I had held onto the domain "planesim.com" :ping:
|
It's a great extra forum to have, I can get info for all my favorite sim types in one place now. :up:
|
I'm glad we convinced you that there's enough flightsimmers here!
Let's face it, flightsims rule the roost of the larger (okay, it's not really large, unfortunately :88)) military vehicular simulation genre, so I'm betting most of anyone who's into subsims loves them anyway. At least a title or two! Cool bunch gathered here as a result :) |
FINALLY! :rotfl::up:
|
Yup, it's amazing how many closet flyers there are lurking on Subsim, and when they're not doing either of those, it seems they are driving tanks quite a bit too.
Actually, it doesn't surprise me that much, there are a lot of very bright people who frequent Subsim, so it's not that surprising that technical sims would interest many of the Subsim people more than Super Mario. :D Chock |
Yup flight sims were really the first game type I ever got into... MS FLight sim 98 Iirc. I had loads of planes on it I had downloaded, Always enjoyed the Combat flight sims and what not.

I do know the first game I played over modem (Good ol 2400 Bps, heh I once even had a 300 BPS one!!!) that was F-29 Retaliator. I used to kill my friend everytime until he'd get too frustrated. Killing people on the runway before they can take off will do that. :D edit: Hmm perhaps Doom 1 or warcraft 2 were my first MP games. Long time ago now. |
yep this forum part was an excellent idea :up:

Of course, it goes without saying that I had Silent Service I and II as well. ;) |
All the :cool: dudes are in here and some them are really :|\\
Lol :lol: |
Damn, already almost as many threads here as in the tank forum - I'm in desperate need for some new ideas! :ping:
|
Yea if it wasn't for the flight sim forum, I think i would still be in the Hanger reading the manual :rotfl:
|
So it took you this long Mr. Stevens?:nope: ;)
|
That reminds me, really must dust off my copy of M1 TP2 sometime, sometimes its nice to take the old girl out and lob some sabots at BMPs.
But yeah, flightsims have been around for as long as subsims, maybe longer (wonder what came first) and IIRC, my first flightsim was Retalliator, or something similar, could even have been Chuck Yeagers Flight Simulator for the Commodore 64, I remember the first time I tried to fly a 767 in MSFS95...I tried to bank it like a fighter jet and stalled straight into the ground. :oops: |

Silent Service came a few years later, again IIRC. Although, I'm sure GATO was the first ever PC subsim, released in 1983, for the Spectrum. FS1 was released in 1979, so that answers the question of what came first. ;) EDIT: NO! I started with FS1 for the Apple ][. I remember the monochrome "stripes" now. |
