tusler Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Check out this link, I use to play all these games, I was in the Navy back then, they would come out with a killer flight sim for the mac like Falcon AT I would go buy a mac or when they came out with Jetfighter I went and bought an XT 8088.

element1108 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) That's great man! I know it's silly but it feels like a joke how they hype up the graphics and system specs. I remember those days well, but never remember seeing the production value of tv being so cheesy back then ;) +1 Edited January 23, 2011 by element1108

Sticky Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Yeah I saw thtat before...what a JOKE..."realistic grafix"...LMFAO...BARBARIC. Believe it or not, it felt awesome playing it, the graphics felt very good, and the game was awesome, one of my favourites, I loved how the tanks blew up with a big fireplume, the graphics felt very fresh.

skeemo Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Doing the carrier qualifications in Jetfighter 1 was damn exiting back in the days (i was about 10 or 12 i think when i got the game). Anyway, Tornado was one of the freakin best flight sims produced ever: http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/tornado

Nice troll, but seriously not as fun as shrek, even if green :D Those where wonders then... Now i wanna see what your grand-soon will say when they look at your petty DCS sims. :) They ll probably say: - We understand 3d full immersion sets didn t exist at the time, but you didn t even had a warthog or rudders ?

Succellus Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 The staff got dressed as airforce pilots? Cheesy... and dorky :doh: Different times indeed. Just look at the dressings....Very Classy in those times... And yes, the 2 buttons joysticks, those sims and yokes that look like cheap chinese stuff where the hubbub... And flying them was as exciting as flying our modern sims. As for dressing in AF suits, some dudes did this playing river raid, so there s nothing new, the same way some where dressed the same during TMWT oficial presentation. As goofy as it has ever been.

He gets addicted and qualifies as a fighter pilot for the air force flying real F16's.....then promptly quits and the AF asks why? F4junkie: Are you kidding me?!

No DC, no bubble, my actions mean nothing! NOTHING I TELL YOU! :megalol: Not to mention the physical effects of air combat....g-lock and barf bags. Most falconers wouldn't survive the G test to begin with let alone survive ground school ;). The real deal is definitely in a category all it's own, there' a lot more discomfort involved that's for sure. :pilotfly: I can do a split S in falcon whilst drinking a tea after a heavy meal...tracking my target in a 6G dogfight is a simple zero resistance tweak of the neck and tracker IR fills in the rest ;). It's amazing back in the day (as a child) these graphics worked. Imagination seemed to fill in the rest, it seems as though now everything graphically must be hand delivered with a little bow and personal name card for it to satisfy. I know it's 2011 (technically it's only 25 days into 2011), but I'm still not sure what 2011 graphics are suppose to look like, especially in a flight sim. The genre has made loads of progress and will continue to do so no doubt about it. Here's to the past, present AND future :) 1
Succellus Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Future for cockpit buildng will be great. In some years we ll have "flexible" monitors giant size and will be able to do a full "bubble"( for the most entusiast), probably with 3D implemented (right), over some way faster internet conexion(i hope). Then you better not suffer from nausea and the like. Gonna be near heaven! HaF 922, Asus rampage extreme 3 gene, I7 950 with Noctua D14, MSI gtx 460 hawk, G skill 1600 8gb, 1.5 giga samsung HD.

Succellus Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I think we still need at least one decade and a half before that. Well yes it would be great if the world doesn t goes Fubar before that, because its worsening... and its gonna guet nasty.
