 .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. Last edited by King Jareth; 10-15-2009 at 01:31 PM.

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...

I haven't owned a PC since the early to mid-90s so I am going to have to go old school on this and bear in mind the standards for a 'sim' were a lot less exacting back then:
Battle of Britain: Their Finest Hour Aces Over Europe Aces Over The Pacific X-Wing Tie Fighter Most of those by todays standards would rank more in the arcady side of things, but back then just having red-outs in the Aces games was pretty amazing. Their Finest Hour came out waaaay back in 1991 and actually had sprites instead of polygons and ya know what? It was awesome, thats where I first learned how to do immelmans and split-s's. How do you realistically simulate an X-Wing? I think LucasArts did an amazing job trying and it was one of the best games I've ever played, def a top 5 ranker. If you've never played any of these get dos-box and give it a shot, you will have a blast.

A few sims stand out for me that i had mass amounts of fun on..the most notable are....
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
