I Just happened across this old Air Warrior site that is still up and mostly still functioning.
Browsing the old terrain maps really took me back, I spent way too many hours flying them, and knew them like the back of my hand.
I also just downloaded a couple of the wallpapers. You can even download a copy of the last DOS version. Just to let you know how sad I am, I still have that version running on two old 486DX2's that are connected for Head to Head play. If you visit the downloads link though be careful, under the "misc" heading I clicked on the "answers" file and my virus software informed me that the zip contained a virus.
Anyway, check it out here:

Wait, is there a DOWNLOAD for the game? If so, I'd be interested in taking a look :aok

Wow now that brings back memories!

Yes, you can download the game, but I'm not sure if it will run on a modern computer running under XP or Vista. It may be a waste of time downloading it unless you have an old PC running DOS that you can install on. Unless anyone knows better?

I'm sure he'd be able to run it through a DOS emulator.
ack-ack

That was a fun trip back in time.

You know, if the AW website ring still works, you could probably find a bunch of sites still up.
-
wow - what a daytrip back in time - was fun to see the names of all the airfields - didn't think i would ever forget them... was glad to read that for the trip down memory lane
Thanks

Download "DosBox"
And if your like me and just want tobe able to play an old dos game without learning or relearning all the old DOS commands. get something called "DOSblaster"
Install and configure.
Then right click on the executable file and pick "Play game"
I havent tried it with AW yet but I know it works on an XP machine with old dos games

LMFAO from there:
Example if you fly P-51
YOU CANNOT turn fight with 109, Spit, Yak, P-38
YOU CAN turn fight with 190, P-47 and A-26
YOU CANNOT out run a 190
Actually sounds more realistic from what I have read on WWII....
yet now in AH:
YOU CAN OUT TURN ALL 109's
YOU CAN OUT RUN a 190 (all)
you can't deny in game that is true (*exception 109 E can maybe get inside in a turn fight with a pony)

P51s cannot out turn 109s (http://www.gonzoville.com/ahcharts/index.php?p1=p51d&p2=109f4&p3=109g2&p4=109k4)

OH MY GOD!!!!
....Yes I was younger then!! .....I had totally forgotten I wrote that. I'd say I wrote that in 1997. I laugh when I see that I was still flying Relaxed Realism at that time. I stayed in "RR" wayyyy to long. When i made the move to Full Realism, I could not believe how stupid I was for staying in relaxed realism so long. If I remember correctly Full Realism had low population and I feared there would be no action. Boy was I wrong! Killnu thanks for pointing this out! It really brought back a flood of memories. Thanks! ....I owe you a few beers for that!!
Helm AKA/Sauron ....out

Ya, I had just forked out $1,300 for useless Compaq with built in graphics (no 3d directx support), and pci slots. But I was able to play it in software mode.
A year later I built my first computer with a Voodoo Graphics card :rock :rock
That was a fun year, 1997. Was playing all 3 Versions of Air Warrior :aok

Ahh memories, I remember all though maps too!

Does anyone have a link to the Mac version of AW? I found one from Google but it didn't work.
Also, could someone please tell me what I should see as AW loads, and how long it should take to load?

We from MacAW still have an email group going. I'm sure someone on there still has it and would be willing to post it up. Give me a few days, it wouldn't hurt to send me a pm reminder either.
