USS Intrepid
« on: December 06, 2018, 07:28:31 AM »
I had the privilege to attend an event last night on this magnificent ship.  Lot's of history and some really cool displays.  Needless to say, I was totally geeked out.  Towards the back, they had simulators where -- and I was super stoked when I saw that the SIM was running Aces High!  The gameplay was significantly slowed down -- but overall awesome.  I am not sure if it has been talked about here but I did grab some video which I would post if anyone is interested.

Enjoy boys.  I didn't get a chance to take a video of the simulator -- It was awesome.  Definitely worth checking out if you're ever in NYC.

Yes, I am.  This is the first time I've been here and lord .. I've missed out.  I drive up and down the west side highway, I ALWAYS thought that it was an SR-71 Blackbird at the top.  I was able to get closer and to my amazement, it was an A12!!

That must've been a version of Aces High with which I'm not familiar. Guess KWAH exists.  :D

Looks like MSFS:X not Aces High. Still cool!

So, was there like a complete tour of the engine room and conning tower? I’m looking at visiting the big apple soon.

Maybe it's MSFS:X?  Not sure now that you guys are bringing it up.  Unfortunately, No -- And I asked.  They had no problem showing me if it was in better condition.  Everything underneath the ship is just rusted to hell and not all that safe.  Trust me when I said that I begged to see it and was denied! 

I took other pictures, I'll post them soon enough!
