whats you FS history

[cobra427]

well AH is the first Flight Sim i ever really played ... ive done console game flight sims but they were too limited
but then one day i got a 486
and i got to play WB2 in stunning 2D!!!
that started my FS crave for new games but then i found out
my PC wasnt as good as i thought it was
so i left the FS world to never retun for i was sucked into
command & conquer when i got my p166 that is still up in my room
i also played Janes F15   and TOP-GUN F4.0 FS98 FS2000 and some WWI and chopper sims but without a joystick i was stuck with my keyboard and a 6 button game-pad that didnt fufill my hopes
so back to C&C
untill one day my parents came home with this POS a new PC
the first thing i did was install all my old games to find they didnt work with XP
so i searched the net and found this   Aces High
but my dreams where poped when i tryed to fly a P51 in the first H2H room i was ever in as Cobra427  Shufflers Paradise
i clicked the button to take off ....as soon as i found it...and all i got was dont move stick so rapidly because of my stupid game pad
untill one day i stumbled into simcade and Spazzz showed me how to use the mouse for flight and i lived in the simcade room for the longest time
untill one day when my parents went to wallmart and came back with a $10 saitek
i know i know its junk but it was a new world for me for i had never used a joystick before and from that day i have been hooked to WWII sims ...flight or in the sea i am crazed about WWII sims now but i still havent played that many and i do
mean not many
lets see.......

WB3
AH
AW2
Panzer Commander
CFS
WWIIOL
and a few other games i dont remember
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
after i got my stick my mom said she would pay for AH for me and i got to play in the MA and CT with my long lost H2H friends for a month and i had to close my account and after that my mom bought me a Wingman stick but i had no games to play it with for the MA had spoiled H2H for me

but alas im getting bored of AH and i have moved onto not any better things such as WWIIOL and im gett'n bored of that to

my parents got me a credit card so i could play AH or WWIIOL online but its a card you have to put $$$ in so they put $140 in it but this was just before Christmass and me be'n me i spent $110 of it on my parents so that leaves me with $30 but i want to keep it in there incase i see something i want   i could get back in the MA if i wanted but im not so sure if i should for i feel i might find a better game someday and awe heck there is no better game but i just got a new 3D card and i want some eye candy but all the "eye candy"games ive played well sucked so im gonna stick with AH untill someday when my name is on the #1 spot for MA rank and i will RULE THIS PUNY GAME!!!!and you will be my slaves MWA?HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAH ....

oh sorry almost lost myself again  well thats about it so share your FS history

Well, ok, I hooked up with some RL WWII plane flyers in '97, a bunch of folks called "Fantasy Flight" who dressed up in WWII AAF uniforms and flew a couple of AT-6's and a C-45 to air shows. The leader of that group got several of us interested in WarBirds. We formed a squadron and flew mostly historic missions. When AH started Beta we moved in and have been here since.

Huh?

I think I've been a flight sim junkie ever since my friend Ian (now in the US Naval Academy, damn him!) showed me Hornet for his Mac. That was when I was in about 5th grade, which was 1992-93? That sounds about right, because the Bruins were in the Adam's division back then, still had Cam, Adam Oates, Joe Juneau, Bourque, Sweeney, and Moog I think..

Hornet
Sopwith Camel
Hero's of the 357th
Chuck Yeagers Air Combat
Jetfighter 2 (I loved the YF-23 and YF-22 in that)
Ms flight sim (I saved up that year and bought my 1st stick - a CH Flightstick Pro)
Aces over Europe and Pacific
Dawn Patrol
Red Baron
Megafortress
Falcon 3.0
Jane's US Navy Fighters, Marine Fighters, Advanced Tactical Fighters, Nato Fighters, Fighters Anthology, USAF, F-15, F-18. IAF, WWII Fighters
Falcon 4
Warbirds 2.0
Longbow 1 and 2
Apache
European Air War
B-17 II
Il-2
SF:P1
FS 2002
Aces High! beta weeks, then 1.04 -> now
edit- TFX and EF2000!

I'm sure there are more, those are all I could think of.

There was this one great sim a while back,cant remember what it was, but you could pick either a chopper or a couple different planes. The concept was that you had to hunt drug lords and the more stuff you blew up of theirs the more you'd hurt their economy. They had Gulfstream IVs and Migs and stuff to shoot at. I can't remember the name but I loved that game.

There are two flight sim games that I don't remember the names that I used to play and really liked.  One of them was I think made by Sierra where you were the head of a group of mercenary pilots.  Came out around 1993 or so and the othe one was something Korea, I think F/A-18 Korea or something like that.

Hey, That's my story too!  

I also played around with AW and MS Combat Flight sim.  Both games sucked in their own ways.  
Recently tried IL-2.  Great game if you like ground attack and buff hunting.  Great graphics.

they've been slumping lately but i'm still rooting hard.

going to the jan 30th game against the blackhawks saw em twice already this year, would go more but the fleetcenter is so expensive for lousy seats

joe thorton is my current hockey idol. watching him control the puck behind the net just amazes me over and over

[davidpt40]

Flight Simulator 4.0 (still remember typing 'fs4' into the dos prompt)

Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe (great game, tremendous campaign section that let you plan missions to try to win the war)

Aces of the Pacific (another great game, but SWOTL was better)

F117 (crap)

Falcon 4.0 (great game)

Fighter Ace (oh yeah!)

Flying Circus (first MMOG)

Red Baron 2/3d (Razs 'Great War' was awesome, I was 3rd top scorer)

Warbirds

Aces High

probably some other games too.

Skip Krake, never won one with the Bruins, got traded to LA the same year Boston won, 72 I think ,  but wears one now from the Oilers. He got it as part of the management team in Edmonton.

Lives in Lloydminster now, but still has a lot of old friends from Boston.

Thorton kind of reminds you of Nealy moose , if your team can keep him he'll win you a Stanley Cup me thinks.
