What's your favorite simulators?

Besides BoP I've not played many proper sims for a long time (RacePro on xbox can probably be reguarded a sim in the similar vein to BoP is I suppose).

Going by hours played my most used sim is most probably Gunship so long ago I can hardly remember. I probably should play more sims but as with everything now I have kids time and money are both major limiting factors.

I'd like to think of Rainbowsix & Rogue Spear as "simulators" but I'm sure the hardcore would disagree.

i guess before bop the sim i played the most would be janes AH-64D Longbow

Thats it Dazz, next time we're both on OFDR we're getting in an MP game and you're taking the Seahawk for a spin

.

Not tried any dedicated tank sims, I should as they sound good.
I did try playing DCS-Blackshark but I swear I heard my ageing graphics card cry.

I think I'll try DCS after they bring in the A-10 and the Apache.
The Enemy Engaged games are pretty good and some mods out there for the older ones and they can be had CHEAP on gog.com.

Apart from BOP, MS Combat Flight Sim 1 (battle for Europe) as its the only one that I could ever load on my PC and I acquired hundreds of missions, campaigns, landable Carriers, etc over the years. Landing on the aircraft Carriers is a hoot without a tail hook.....getting dusty now I have BOP but occaisionaly may give it a go...

The first one is CFS2 (combat flight sim), the second is B17 the mighty 8th (start clip from 2:05 to see it start moving) and the third is EAW (European Air War). These are clips i did some years ago now. I used to love flying these games.

On the first clip, with the lancaster bobmer taking off... i made this lanc myself in game.

Code letter VN-B this was the code of the lancaster my grandad flew during the war, the song "abide with me" he always used to sing to himself in the rear turret while taxi ing and taknig off, and the picture at the end... my grandad, god bless him
