Where it ALL started. If you want to see AND try first hand
« on: March 03, 2011, 04:54:00 PM »
I know many of you know Airwarrior as that is where manyof us came from. I also know there are many who never played Airwarrior And may have wondered what these old farts have been talking about.
Well, here it is. Try it out for yourself
 
Just downloaded it and it works. Forgot how to set up joystick views and to get the trigger to fire but "F" is the firing command + an - the throttle.
Its a Demo I just now stumbled across. Last updated in 2009. And to my amazement it works And best of all. its free.

Now you too can relive your past glories Or see just what the hell this badarse game was we keep talking about In all its glory complete with 3-D Graphics Beautifully rendered cockpits and aircraft with ultra realistic terrain.

Ladies and germs
Dun dun da daa
I prsent to you. Fully compatable with XP

Airwarrior III !!!!
http://games.softpedia.com/get/Games-Demo/Air-Warrior-III-Demo.shtml

Almost like a visit form an old friend. I still have the complete game in the box with manual.

Thanks for the blast from the past. While I was aware of it at the time from various press (magazine articles here or there) I never did play AW. I was into other games at the time.

I think I'll give it a try.

how did you install it on Windows 7 Ult. ( and is this win 7 ult 64bit? )

how did you go about making the game start & play??? ... IE- did you use any compatibility mode settings to play it?

am interested, could possibly dig up some old films and use fraps or something to convert them to avi/wmv or whatever

I saved all my AW stuff on CDs. Got the different versions, all my films and K-AWSM (the Kraits Air Warrior Sound Manager). Never thought about running it on this machine.

I have all of my films from back then too, as well as all of the Gamestorm CDs once those started coming out.

I might have a PC at my folks' house with Windows 95 and AW4W still on it -- no idea if they kept that machine.
