I played with no cockpit art even when they added it.

Now imagine that screenshot in black&white - not greyscale - dithered black and white. That's what the Mac version was like for a number of years. Oh, and 30 frames per hour too.

I played with just a gunsight after erasing all art....till they found out and stopped it

Yeah, the old ghost art. As I recall it took a couple iterations to fix that. For a while you could have outlines and their pattern checking wouldn't look to see if the regions were filled or not.

I used to have a custom B17 cockpit file with a skip-bombing sight:

And of course the classic F/A-26B cockpit:

Haha, OK, now THAT's more like I had envisioned, lol. Any time some one complains around here , y'all should whip out these pics, WITH the price superimposed, lol.

That's something man, .

DoK, I think you were paying $10/hour (or maybe $12) at the start. $6/hour was first big price reduction, wasn't it?

DoKGonZo · « **Reply #38 on:** March 16, 2006, 02:47:30 AM »

$12 was prime time. It was $5 at first, then hiked to $6.

That took dedication, yikes that's expensive.

Plus for many of us back then there were also long distance phone charges. $1000/month combined was not that uncommon.

I think I topped out at around $700/month on GEnie.
Back then it was pretty easy to rack up 100 hours a month flying and
with the small arena size you got a heck of a lot more engagements in
for your $$ as well

I gave a sigh of relief when CRIS was added and the price dropped to $3/hour:)
