Post your first flightsim

[Sierra99]

AND I had the color monitor for my Commodore 64!

[ctguy1955]

1981, I bought a Atari 400 and a space game called Star Raiders

 

 

 

 

Then in 1988, an Amiga 500 game called Fighter Duel Pro 2

 

 

I also had fighter duel one, but the graphics were really bad.

 

 

********************EDIT*********************

 

Now that I have looked over all of the posts, I think there were three games I

saw that I have not owned. Two of them were for a spectrum computer.

Red Baron (the one from 1990), one of my first video games at all, followed by MS Flight Sim 95.

[Darkwolf]

Some may not known.

 

Wing Over II, Playstation.

[whiteladder]

Old ? Don't worry :)

 

I feel experienced :D

 

Psion Flight Simulation on Sinclair ZX Spectrum (1982) :joystick:

 

 

 

Me too, although I had the zx81 version which was black and white!!

 

I had to buy a 16K memory expansion to run it (the onboard memory was 1K which was good for about 100 lines of code)

I believe my first was called "Miramar"

 

[slowhand]

MSFS 1.0 Com64:pilotfly::joystick::smilewink:

[snafup]

Janes f-15

janes longbow2

[Feuerfalke]

 

Fighter Pilot on a CPC.

 

That was back in 1983...

[Ryback]

 

On first imac :)

[Tone71]

Not even close to being a simulator but mine was Ace of Aces on the Atari 800XL:

 

 

It was the Atari ST that got me into sims though (still only games really); mostly F19 Stealth Fighter, F29 Retaliator, Fighter Bomber, Flight of the Intruder and of course Falcon. For 2 player action you couldn't beat Skychase:

 

[sungsam]

Come on old gentlemen !

 

None mentioned F16 Combat Pilot ! Dynamic compains, logistics casualties of war, and scrabling response of enemie, MFDs, Nav data. ED are you listening ? Amstrad 6128 back in 1989

 

[SUBS17]

Mine flight path 737 lol.

 

 

:joystick:

[Mnemonic]

 

 

Tomahawk ZX Spectrum

Also Elite, same platform

[Frostie]

 

Fighter Pilot on a CPC.

 

That was back in 1983...

 

 

This, Fighter pilot on the Spectrum was my first very own followed by Microprose Gunship.

 

Then on the Amiga I was all over F19 Stealth fighter dodging Fulcrums and Flankers, awesome stuff.

 

 

But my first taste was on my friends BBC micro playing the original Elite, we set up a den between his and his brothers bed with the monitor smuggled in there like our own three man capsule voyaging through space.

 

[TomOnSteam]

Mine was probably some really basic atari 2600 game, but the first simulator I took seriously was Su-27 Flanker :)

[Alicatt]

MSFS 1.0 Com64:pilotfly::joystick::smilewink:

I got that as payment for spending a day demoing business software at an exhibition :)

 

One I have just remembered that I used to play a lot was Flight of the old dog/Megafortress based on the story by Dale Brown

[BRAVO_16]

I had The Dam Busters on a floppy for my XT.

Looking at the video now it all seems so easy, but back then this game was hard.

Later I sunk many hours into LHX and Red Baron.

Do you remember a game called Sopwith on DOS?

[sungsam]

OK ! Now you forced me to dig out my Amstrad 6128 and Atari 1040ST. Currently I'm setting them up to feed my nostalgia ! :cry:

[wilky510]

EF2000 for me.

One of the best games ever made! Durandal attacks on Airfields deep behind enemy lines happy days.:)

 

The dynamic campaign was way ahead of its time, one of the first games where you could assign wingmen separate tasks with TOT. Persistent damage between missions. You could set the game up with 2 joystick, one for the control column and the other for the throttle, again way ahead of anything else at the time.

 

Also one of the first flight sims with polygon graphic, when most still had vector.

 

Digital Integrations finest hour.

[JPS2K]

Wings by Cinemaware, on an Amiga.

You mean this one? I think I still have it somewhere. Need to try it out and see if still works with Win7.

 

 

 

 

I think my first was ACE II for C64. Of course the best part being the music by Rob Hubbard :) .

 

 

 

Also remember playing Solo Flight with my dad.

 

 

 

Then later came the PC stuff like Falcon AT, Red Baron, Falcon 3.0, etc and eventually Su-27 Flanker as the first ED title I played.

Yes your memory details are remarkable. Are you an elephant ? I do used a flight stick and a pacman coin-op controller as a throttle with a sungsam made wooden handle attached on it . :D

Sydost - Thanks for reminding me about the hours I spent with Solo flight for commodore 64 - wow this game simply slip from my memory
