Bateleur1 Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 I used to play the F19 MicroProse Sim on my first 386, and I would do 3-4 hour recce missions, the scream of the engine over those crappy pc speakers would drive my folks insane! Also played the F19 but found that it was a tad boring as it was a fictional aircraft. Microprose started with the F16 Fighting Falcon Simulator in pretty much the same time. But the emphasis was on the F16 and to be as realistic as possible. The 1st Version was a pirated copy that I got hold of. The second version I managed to buy and was a huge improvement on the first. A few years later I stumbled on the fact that a 3rd version was out overseas but not available in SA. Managed with great effort to buy a copy and delivered to someone I knew in Sweden who then via a work contact brought it in to SA. It was astonishing how realistic that simulator was. I spent hours and hours on that game. Eddy Gordo and Wannabe 2
Robbie Stewart Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 A F15E Strike Eagle to be more exact https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AUubFZs988 I watched this IMAX doccie. It is EPIC on a grand scale. What I would give to just one time be in the rear seat of an F-15E as it blasts down the runway, takes off at full afterburners on those two monster jet engines, and get rocketed at breakneck speed straight up to 55000m, touching the fringes of space. All this in about the same time it took me to type all this, and click Post...(well, not quite, but darn near enough) jimmycool and Lurch 2

Doesn't matter if you like him or not, I like that program. They took him for a flip in a F15. Jeremy was as sick as a dog as het got out of it and could barely walk. Robbie Stewart 1

Shebeen Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 so rode in town yesterday. past the KPMG Place building. They potentially have changed the name, as they have put duct tape over the poster where the name used to be. Or am Iooking for a conspiracy theory

Jeremy was as sick as a dog as het got out of it and could barely walk. I wouldnt mind going up in any fighter jet. I challenge the pilot to try and make me puke. When I get out I will have a huge grin( well at least I believe I will have a grin). Lurch 1
