CapnGimp Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 My all time favorites, ATF and Apache, I used to fly 3 days straight regularly in 97, lol. Longbow and EuroFighter 2000, it had to be played in DOS. I loved apache, haven't flown a helo since then. Now I have DCS, gotta learn.

Speed Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) You never played Longbow 2?! That was a truely awesome game. Arcadish compared to DCS, but very, very fun! I actually got it working again under XP and played it again two years ago. Was just as much fun as it was back then! You actually got a sense of accomplishment and a sense of working towards a goal that is still missing under DCS's scripted campaigns. Yes, I know that LB 2 campaigns were scripted, but you didn't get the feeling while playing it, and they did a very good job creating the dynamic feel. I never really liked ATF much. The flight model was too simplistic, and everything was at a very low realism level. I didn't have much to compare it too and I still didn't like it that much. I didn't have anything else to play at the time though. I didn't know exactly how bad it was till I tried Janes F-15 though. Janes USNF 97 and ATF were my first two "sims".

CapnGimp Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 I quit flying until I picked up Lomac FC in early 2007. I played Nova Logic fps, mostly thru the years with my clan. None of them flew. For me gaming is about all the folks that play together and the camraderie. As long as that is there, tic tac toe is fun. Teamspeak is the glue that kept us together,.. not the games we played. I'm going to try ATF and Apache on virtualbox and see if they work.

Motorpsyhco Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 How did you get Longbow 2 to work on the XP? I use to love playing that game until I upgraded my computer to a higher memory system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
