OT: a fair few people have played IL2 since the beginning...
 

I myself have played il2 almost from the beginning but does anyone remember playing a game called airways or airwars? Was around windowns 95 time!! Such a big game at its time! Use to love playing it as you could fly and also drive everything!!!

and who played war eagles on 8086 ?
it was a 100% slide show, the deflection was in fact the lag, people have forgotten, the meaning of unplayable

lol. I was 5 years old when I first played MicroProse's "Dogfight: 80 years of aerial warfare"

And after watching... WE complain about CloD stuttering!?!?!?!?!

Oh boy the nostalgia, and that I even remember playing this is amazing. And guess what? My favourite period was easily World War II ;)

Also played F29 Retaliator :P

I played Air Warrior online back in the 90s

sg

LOL "back" in the 90's! young whipper snapper :grin:

I played airwarrior way back on a tinpot modem - but I think you are refering to European Air War - which was great fun - started playing that just before I graduated to IL2 - I was in JZG back then and remember the good old days of IL2 FB VEF,VWF(I think that was it - JZG Kaiser was #1 ranked pilot there and had a bounty on his head - but an ai got him in the end lol).

I only bought my first computer in 1998, so I started with CFS1 (it was the first game I bought) EAW, then CFS2 followed, but when IL2 came along I never looked back (as far as Flight sims go).

I think my earliest fond memory of flight 'sims' was "Gunship".. on the ZX Spectrum. lol

I remember ace of aces too, my mate had it on a Vic20.

How things change.

Thats the one!

I had 2 and 3... i dont recall how we got them, i think they was part of a package when we had our first "family" pc back in the 90's...

We also got a USAF game too... was awesome!
