                        SWON is pretty good, but I've been playing it for so long now, I need a new fix.

                        I've tried PF, I really did my best to like it........but I didn't .


                        well sadly I have had the game 3 nights and I will wait till this weekend to give it a fair shake, but I am coming to the same conclusion... it is too sterile for me...

                        I couldn't get into Secret Weapons over Normandy... tried on that one too... I'll probably buy the new relase of BoB but since it is by the same people as IL-2 and PF I am not sure I can handle it...

                        Yeah I remember Aces over the Pacific AND Aces over Europe very well. Even today with all the super detailed and realistic graphics, there still is no FS that even comes close to those.

                        I think they came out with several Aces titles before it disappeared...



                        *notices he has all of those flight sims sitting on his shelf of packed in storage boxes*

                        I miss Air warrior.
                        For a game as old as it was, using multiplayer before anyone else.
                        they put the computer power toward the flight model instead of the graphics.
                        and the model was almost perfect.
                        1987 and I was regularly shooting down my Brother-in-law the pilot in AW realism theater.

                        Thanks for the info. I'll have to pick this one up.
                        Hey, do any of your remember an oldie by any chance? The game was called Aces of the Pacific, or something like that. It was produced by Dynamix and released by Sierra, I believe, but I could be wrong. That was one of the first flight-sims I had, and it was a blast to play, all those years ago.

                        here's an insteresting screen shot:



                        I also found out that a release of the Battle of Britain by them is in the works too... can fly as British, German or Italian... I thought that was an interesting twist... you rarely see the Italian planes included even on discovery channel!!! I am DEFINITELY looking forward to THAT!!!


                        GAH!
                        That game is quickly outpacing my systems ability to run it.
                        looks like time to upgrade AGAIN.
                        I love the ability to paint your own plane for on-line use.
                        I've seen some wonderful creative paintjobs on-line.
