Random Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Just a bit curious about where we all started... For me it was Night Raider on the Amstrad CPC 464 when I was something like 4 or 5 years old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Hrothgar Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Calling games back then flight sims is a bit of a stretch by modern standards, but my first flying game was MSFS 1.0 on one of those big floppy disks. I was 4-5 years old at the time and both the computer and the game were older than I was. First one I played with a joystick was the Aces collectors pack (Red Baron, Aces over Europe, Ace of the Pacific, A-10) around 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterH Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I am genuinely unsure what was the first for me. But it was on Commodore 64 and required a good dose of imagination to call a simulation :). Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahlbeck Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Probably Rowan's Overlord. That, or Flight Unlimited, which I tried to run on a 486DX2@66 MHz. I had to return the sim to the kind dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

104th_Maverick Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) TopGun fire at will on the Commodore! I spent countless hours playing this as a young teenager, I still get nostalgic about it, perhaps being young helped but it was just a fantastic game to play, you really didn't know what would happen and the voice-overs really made it immersive! Then I moved on to Microsoft Flight Simulators and flew for various virtual airlines as well as the virtual Royal Airforce. I still fly on VATSIM and really enjoy flying Concorde back and forth from London to New York. I'm in the top 5 VATSIM Concorde pilots for flight time and number 1 for the C-17 Globemaster! Two aircraft I love dearly! I found DCS a month or so after the release of FC2 and have not looked back! I was sold on it within the first 3 seconds on hearing about it, the F-15 has been one of my favourite jets since I was very young and to fly it and fight with it in this DCS World has been a dream come true after my time 'dogfighting' with jets using MSFS only. Intro video is hilarious also! :D vUUMKHmtqXo Edited June 6, 2015 by [Maverick] [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 104th Phoenix Wing Commander / Total Poser / Elitist / Hero / Chad www.104thPhoenix.com www.facebook.com/104thPhoenix My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art-J Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) I was a bit late for the party, having missed the whole Commodore, Amiga etc. era, 'cause my family couldn't afford them. So a '94 PC was my first computer and "Chuck Yeager's Air Combat" played hand in hand with "Aces of the Pacific" were my first flight sims and first games ever for that matter (not counting Win 3.11 Solitaire ;) ). The latter one was responsible for my PTO and CBI fix, which lasts till today (eagerly waiting for DCSW to go there as well). There was a short youtube clip of "AotP" being played with horrendous sounds provided by glorious PC speaker :D, as it as on my PC back then, but I can't find it now.

ilya1502 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Wow! That's a topic! Anyone here remembers Sinclair ZX Spectrum? My first flight sims were on this platform. They are the and the (watch from 2:19). I don't really remember which one was 'the first' first. I was around 8 or 9 at the moment, and it was a striking experience: to fly an aircraft from the pilot's point of view. Now they do not look as convincing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98abaile Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 EF2000. Never really took it seriously, was too young, but even today I will occasionally in DCS just light the burners from my parking spot and see if I can take off (hasn't worked yet).

Bucic Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 My first one... I have not identified it yet. It was for C64, mostly just a gun piper visible. When you went low alt a flat square grid represented the ground. Was was notable about it is it was very fluid for a C64 game. I'm pretty sure it was entirely 2D (as opposed to pseudo 3D of some othe sims). Then, on my own C64: Fighter Bomber (Activision) F-14 ACE Gunship https://akaagar.github.io/briefing-room-for-dcs/ F-5E simpit project https://forum.dcs.world/topic/318106-f-5e-simpit-cockpit-dimensions-and-flight-controls/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
