Looking at this list of Jet sims:

http://www.listal.com/list/evolution...ght-simulators

I realize I have flown ALL of them accept number 8 and 28. Remember the wait for Falcon 3 and then tearing up the package and installing it and sitting there in awe of the graphics and the flight modeling... All those missions in F-19 Stealth fighter over Iran and Libya... Mmm.

And looking at the list of WWII combat sims from the good old days:

http://www.listal.com/list/wwii-air-...ght-simulators

I have flown all of them accept number 26 and 41. I loved the Dynamix games and remember when Aces over Europe came with it's semi SVGA graphics that looked SO good! The reviewers where in tears...

EDIT - this is so fun. Found this page http://www.sheeparcade.com/free-games/simulation-games/ where a lot of these old abandonware games are available for download. Download the DOSBox "dos emulator" and then run them from that... Playing SoloFlight right now. Amazing that I have put so many hours into it!

Wow.. those lists bring back memories.. The only one of the jet sims that I flew was number 22 the F-117A Nighthawk .. that was actually my first PC flight sim.. The second one was #25 on the WWII sim list Warbirds II. That was where I first got the idea to start a Redtail squadron because one of the stock skins in the P-51C was a Redtail Mustang... The sim that got me into this full tilt however was #20 MSCFS1 ... I also owned #27 CFS2 and #29 B-17.. but I didn 't play them much.. I was pretty much stuck on CFS1... until #30... IL2.. which I bought in the fall of 02 while waiting for CFS3.. by the time CFS3 was released it was... too little too late.. Been here ever since..
