10 years ago...
I can't believe ten years has gone by. It seems like only yesterday. Has anyone here ever played NovaLogic's MiG-29 Fulcrum and/or Fi-16 Multirole Fighter? It was earlier this month ten years ago I preordered these two. They were a bundle. I have never been so anxious about a game before that or since then. It wasn't until the early parts of October that they arrived. It was VERY hard waiting for them. When they finally arrived I promptly installed them and forgot about anything else. I was mostly interested in the MiG-29 at the time. I didn't have a joystick at the time so I used the keyboard. Shortly after, I got a Logitech Wingman. It was as basic as basic got. It even had manual adjusted X/Y axis. A bit later I splurged $70 on a Microsoft SideWinder. Best damn joystick I ever had. It still works like a champ. Once I really got into playing these two fantastic sims I took them online for the time. I had never played a game online before and they ran pretty smooth over a 33.6k dial-up modem. :rotfl: I remember the phone ringing and being absolutey furious about it because I got bumped off the Internet.

@ syxx killer
After reading your post I more now want to try my hand at flying online. I have a X-52 joystick with rudder pedals and hispeed internet so I guess I'm good to go. Had a nice set of headphones with mike. I heard my wife scream in the liveing room and ran to find out what happened and ripped the wires out. Turns out she was watching Jerry Springer. ![]() ![]() ![]() Getting a wireless set soon. ![]() |

![]() I kind of miss flight sims. I haven't really played a flight sim since F-22 Lightning 3 (released in 1999). I keep hoping NovaLogic will make a new one, but all they ever seem interested in is Delta Force installments. ![]() Playing flight sims online is one of the very few things I like to play online. I absolutely hate playing first-person shooters online. Flight sims was one thing I was actually good at. |
