Fleet Defender: The F-14 Tomcat Simulation, F-117A Nighthawk Stealth Fighter 2.0, And B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th are now available on Steam.

 

Never thought I'd see Fleet Defender again. Almost tempted to get my nostalgia on.

Microprose was my most favorite game developer i player almost everything from them. I remember that f-19 was my first sim that brought me to sim genre when i was 11.

 

And then civilization , f-15, gunship, m1 tank platoon, acros the rhine, falcon , atac, silent service, and so on i can continue all day

Big memories

I saw those on steam yesterday, clicking through the thumbnails brought back a flood of memories... It's crazy to remember how those were cutting-edge sims, it's amazing to see how far we've come

Gunship! works well, as far as I could see so far.

 

Only one problem: it does not reckognize my G940 correctly (throttle is mapped to cyclic X AND Y ... everything else seems not mapped at all) and I have no idea where I could tweak the configuration for that.

Fleet Defender runs (it appears to be running under DosBox) although it did not seem to recognize my Warthog. Flying with a keyboard does work, though. I couldn't spend much time with it as it was a bit painful to look at on a 40" TV. :cry:

I am still thinking how did you mean that "how far we've come"!? You mean like graphics (only) ? ;)

 

I have also F117 from GOG and it works perfect on my Win7 64bit. Btw the DOSBox emulator is part of the game folder, so no need to run DB first then the game inside it. One exe do it all.

Aww, no Mechwarrior 3?

 

haha, that were GOOOOOOD times!

 

anyway, i managed to use my saitek x52 with dosbox and strike commander, so it might work with those titles, aye?

 

i also remember my logitech wingman extreme / thrustmaster Mk.II throttle back then.

 

do you remember this north sea / north cap mission with that dragon in fleet defender?

 

guess there had been one with an UFO too.

DosBox is built into the product.

 

EDIT: Into the executable, actually. One click startup.

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

HMmm.. Why they ignored microprose F-15 Strike Eagle 3 and Falcon 4?.. Cant find it in the steam. I saw janes 688 hunter killer and janes fleet command in steam, but cant find janes longbow and janes f-15/f-18.. Pity..
