Your first flightsim addiction?
« Reply #60 on: November 27, 2006, 04:39:59 PM »
My first seems to have slipped my mind, it was flying a corsair around in Aviation Adventure game/video pack.  You had to try to avoid being spotted by the enemy radar although there were only 6 or so missions, and you couldn't shoot, it was fun.  There was also a paper airplane game in that pack that was entertaining.  After that it was Strike Commander.  I'd make my dad start it for me just so i could pick the "cool bombs" and then eject once i started to fly:rolleyes:

After those ones it was MSFS 98

and a bit later 1985 the Heli Sim "Tomahawk"

ace of aces, used to have page results memorized.

My first adictive flight sim was Red Baron played on a 386. I spent hours playing that game. MS Flightsim 5 hooked me for a long time though I had played MS 3 and 4 before that. Next I got hooked Sierra's Aces Over the Pacific.

My first online flight sim was WB 1.2. That one cost me an arm and a leg!

I typed in tapco.com and got some military site where I can get anything short of a nuke.

The original Xwing got me flying, and then Red Baron 3d got me into flight sims with gravity.  All downhill from there (haha).  :)

lets see i think my first addiction was MFS 98 i was 8 and have been flying flight Sims for as long as i can remember. i could land a 747 going from Georgia to Hawaii with just about the exact measurements you would need in real life. now my dad had to help me with that but i could still land at 8 years old hehehe.
