I wrote my first computer program in Fortran IV in 1970.......then compiled it onto punch cards and sent it away to be run on one of the only computers in the city available to the public............it took 2 weeks to come back showing me I had made a code error....I fixed the error and resent the cards.......in another two weeks I got my result..........

HT Trivia.

What year did I write my first computer game?

HiTech

The same year you wrote your last computer game?

Holy crab, tabman! I was right? That's on top of the Apple building, isn't it?

Excellent.  We used a PDP-8 in our radiation-and-detection lab when I was an undergrad.  Had to toggle in the boot sequence, and it had magnetic core memory.

In Aces High you get a flight model thats not based on the anecdotal assumptions of the deluded, I know this because the guys 'helping' to develop the flight models over there have been over here spouting bollocks in the forums for years with no actual proof of what they are talking about except its their opinion, or it 'feels' historically accurate or doesn't

ya know i'm gotta do it...so are you saying the flight models here "feel historically accurate" versus over there? what plane did fly in world war 2 again, i can't remember...

 I remember this  ...was about 3-4 years later for me.... we used an Olivetti punch card machine simailar to this



and we just sent it to the teacher

I have used this.

I just got an email from Gaijin touting they have reached over 3 million people who registered in War Thunder. Crappy flight model/controls or not, 3,000,000 people is a crap load more than AH subscription numbers. Perhaps the majority of people do prefer to have awesome eye candy.....
