What was your first flight simulator?
 

I did a search and did not find any previous thread on this subject, maybe I missed it.


Anyway, what was your first flight simulator/game or helicopter simulator/game?


From what I can remember "Blue Max" on the Commodore 64 was my first, which I spent many hours playing when I was a kid.

Graphics have com a long way since then! :O:

As for helicopter simulators "Gunship 2000" for the Commodore Amiga was my favourite.
There were several helicopters to choose from but you had to rise in rank to gain access to some helicopters. The Apache Longbow and the Comanche to name few. Later on you had command over a small group of helicopters.

I actually dont know their names. One was an Apache simulator and the other might of been one of the Falcon games. I stopped playing Flight simulators up until about a year ago when I played FSX.

Red Baron
(1990) Sierra Entertainment

''Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe''
Lucasfilm games - 1991

HunterICX

Mine as well

The first ever would propably be something on Commodore 64, can only remember one game we had... not it's name tho. IIRC it you flew the SR-71 Blackbird in it.

Anywho, I was pretty young back then, so I'd have to go with SWOTL & B17 as the first flightsims I played and actually knew what the hell I was doing. :yep:

Air Combat for PSX, still got it too :rock:

Blue Max, Dam Buster and my favourite Ace of Aces. All on the C64. I don't recall which was the first one I played.
On the PC I went on with Microprose Dogfights, the original CFS and then Il2 with which I've stuck till this day.

CFS2

Flight Path 737 on my cousin's Amstrad CPC, also another game where you were flying a BAE Hawk, can't remember the title.
On PC my first was SWOTL as well, ah and Wings of Fury but that's not really a sim.

Oh man, how could I forget Ace of Aces. :oops:


The C64 and Amiga were great machines, great music and sound effects for it's time! :rock:

I also forgot to mention Wings, the WW1 combat flight sim.

@ Ace video

My god what a lousy pilot.:O:
Too bad he didn't show the other features of Ace of Aces like bombing or that you could look left and right and do some engine management (yes, you could over rev the engines...if you were completely stupid...:D).

Haha, I used to do that when I got bored. Ooo burning engines aaahhhhh!! CRASH :O:

Secret Weapons over Normandy was my first flight game on Xbox. I'm not sure that it counted.

Also, Ace Combat series are my favorite. :DL
