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

Apart from my 48k ZX spectrum days PC’s were only used for work until Dec 98 when I thought I would get a gaming PC for my self, my first PC game was MicroProse Falcon 4.0 which I still have along with its box and big thick manual, ironically I still judge games of the same ilk by this benchmark, it was hotly followed by Longbow 2 & Flight Unlimited III, MS CFS, etc

Coincidentally I was the 1st person to get working 3rd party bombs and missiles and ejector racks etc into CFS 2, I still have the Tallboy, Grand slam, block buster, Upkeep, highball and fat man bomb along with the more modern mk8#'s

Was that the one circa '95-'96 that was, (for a year or so), free to play if you used AOL service provider?
