Flight Simmers report in...

elanaiba · 01-22-08, 03:46 AM

Well if you ask me, the kings out there are:

Falcon 4.0
European Air War
Red Baron 2

Says a little something about how I view the ideal simulation. No I'm not talking about the bugs on release

Of course, there are many other nominees ...

Excellent

I've been playing them since I was old enough to use a computer. Though I wouldn't exactly consider myself a hardcore flight simmer.

AOT Pacifc/Europe
Janes WWII Fighters/FA-18
CFS 1, 2, and 3
EAW
B-17
BoB II
Il-2+Addons

Eh, who am I kiddin'.....:rotfl:

MSFS since 1998.

Il-2 from 2002 til now.

Tried some others back in the day, Comanche, SWOTL, BoB and Aces of the Pacific.

Used to play Falcon 4 in its various incarnations, including Allied Force.
Don't have the time nowadays to devote to such a complex sim.

I still play IL-2 however I haven't picked it up in awhile.... maybe tonight.

The mission in PF where you are the IJN trying to locate and bomb a US sub sounds fun.

When I was 12, my dad bought me 2 computer games for his Atari ST: Sublogic Flight Simulator 2 and Epyx Sub Battle Simulator. Ever since then it's been simulations and strategy games almost exclusively

For a few years I was in an online squad that flies IL-2, but somehow I never really got into IL-2, or online flying. I prefer single player campaigns, and this seems to be a weak point in titles like IL-2 or Lomac.

Sims I fly now:
- Battle of Britain 2
- MiG Alley (I can't let it this oldie go)
- Falcon 4AF
- Wings over Vietnam
- FS9

I'll pick up B-17II again, the flying itself was a bit of a disappoitment, but the campaign and the atmosphere during missions was excellent.

IL-2: 1946.

It's been a few months but it's my favorite flight sim and I tend to jump around a lot in different aircraft in quick missions. I'm still doing a Zero pilot career.

Stealth Hunter · 01-22-08, 08:28 PM

Every single one of them, except for that last option.

Red Baron 3D's Full Canvas Jacket is what I'm still active in.

My first was Microprose F19 Stealth Fighter back in '87. Messed about with F18 and MSFS and then got into EAW for a few years whilst it was being modded. Now using IL2/1946 and BoBII. Just seem to like the WWII fighters better than the high tech modern stuff.

Must give the WWI planes a go, might just have to regress to the oldest form of aerial combat.
