Pilotasso Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Wow, 20 years ago I thought this was the coolest video game ever lol :doh::pilotfly::joystick: hahaha! Wing commander II was my very first PC game! Received it in Christmas 1992 and oh boy, probably best gift ever! Must have completed the campaign about 100 times. At a later date I got a copy of wing I but I found it was less playable than the II, slower ships, less armament etc. I just recently got Wing II and III to run on DOSBOX on my current machine. Its more playable than ever! loads of system resources and programmable HOTAS!!! wow. :D BTW playing with the mouse like in the video was utter torture. First played with keyboard then I got a 4 button joystick...much better. And so my long SIM history began, though passion for aerospace goes back much further... .

Pilotasso Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Nothing is set on stone yet and reading the article I had a deja vu regarding the EH101. The issues were solved. So no rushed conclusions should be made about this. .

59th_LeFty Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Kecskemét Air show 2010 Hungarian Air Force MiG-29 vs JAS39 , Mi-24 Nice find :) This was called "ability demonstration", well, as far as we could see it through the Frecce Tricolori's clouds of smoke. It was quite good, and a new thing here in the line of Kecskemet's past airshows. The dogfight that took part between the MiGs and the JAS39 was quite unsatisfactory for the trained eyes, as the MiGs lost the fight - but I don't think it needs any explanation to find the reason for that. Anyway it worth the see the incomprehension in the faces of Slovakian MiG pilots - "what's that? why did MiGs not win yet?" :D They also flew a demo both days, a quite good one. Apart from that, a few, eager spotter might have seen the trainings before the real show, and figured out that if MiGs would turn on full AB all the time, well... :) Maybe there's a video from that also, I'll keep looking.
