Hello everyone!
My first combat flight sim was Interceptor on the Commodore Amiga. Just for this game I worked a whole summer as a kid, together with my brother, so we could buy this computer. Then onto Falcon. The other thing that really attracted me in games was multiplayer. I remember spending days trying to get to play Falcon with two Amigas connected through a special serial (or was it parallel?) port cable. And oh wow when it worked!! We were stoked! Two aircraft on an empty map :lol:
Fast forward to 1994 or 1995, Falcon 4.0 with a Thrustmaster F-16 block 50 hotas. What a piece of crap that plastic was, kept rolling left unless you rolled right first and then came centre. Abondened that.
Now, thanks to Corona, I decided to finally pick up combat flight sim again. DCS seems great: a true sim .... and multiplayer too :) I've bought quite a few modules, am currently on a shopping spree for some decent controls but I am a solid mac user, so I have to put a good gaming rig together... So I can't take off just yet, but I have learned the value of patience...
