I remember the original Sturmovik, and Forgotten Battles. They were great, but Sturmovik would crash on my machine after some period, sometimes less than an hour, sometimes six or more, but if I kept playing it it would eventually crash. Forgotten Battles changed that, it crashed at about two hours in, every time. This on the same Athlon 1GHz machine, so given that the crashes were different, I assume these to have been bugs not hardware failures. I built a new machine for Pacific Fighters, and that didn't crash, though I think Forgotten Battles still did until it could be flown under the Aces pack.

I spent a lot of time on Sturmovik and Forgotten Battles, and still enjoy them under 1946, but they weren't perfect when first released.

I remember them too, i've had every version of the game myself as well, from the original till now.

I know they weren't perfect, but was still in a hugely better state than what we have at the moment, and by the time pacific fighters came out, for me at least forgotten battles worked pretty flawlessly on my athalon 1900+, never had a problem with crashes myself.
