flight sims fans, give your opinion !

[bloodline]

F29 and F/A-18 were top bollox

but nothing beats that Shareware classic... Biplanes as available on serveral AmigaFormat Cover disks over the years....

B17 Is my favourate. Could have been better, as the PC version had some cool features. Physics were a bit too simple for the actual flying, but as that was only part of the game it was just about acceptable. I would love to have B17 2 on the Amiga!

Tornado was an excellent sim. I`ve only just got it though, so it feels very old. I sooo wish i had that years ago! I`d have never done anything else. I would have had it if I had the hardware to run it. 68040 minimum.

B17 has the nice feature that it wasn't "just a flight sim" it was a proper Bomber sim... not tried B17_2... will look out for it.

I had TornadoAGA... and ran it on my 030 50Mhz at about 5fps... got bored... too much detail, and not enough CPU time.

I really enjoyed AirBus A320... but it got boring after a while there are only so many ways you can take off, program the autopilot, and then setup the Autolanding system, Watch the computer fly from one air port to another and do the whole thing in real time...

Start game, take off... leave for 5 hours watch it land... good job!!! "Would you like to do it again?"... no thanks, I want to see what nasty crash I can think up...

Hehe I forgot TFX. Good graphics yeah. Best on the Amiga, by far. VERY buggy. The F117 in that game could do some strange things at times. :-) TFX was quite simple though. I mean, I landed the F22 on an aircraft carrier (which by the way is not possible, as the F22 is land based :-)) on my first attempt. Correct me if I`m wrong, but thats no much of a challenge! I`ve got Approach Trainer, which is basically A320. Doesn`t work on any of my system for some reason. Well when it works I have to press fire on my joypad to make it advance each frame. WEIRD! I always wanted that game! Looks good. For back then at least.

I want a complicated flightsim. Doesn`t have to be modern jets. I`d love a really good WWII or 60/70s jet, flightsim. Saying that a modern day jet/helicopter one would be just as good. WWI is too simple, unless the planes are as challanging to fly as the real things. If there is no challange to a flightsim it really isn`t much of a simulation. Thats why Jetpilot is probably the best flightsim on the Amiga, even if there isn`t much game to play. The actual flying is the most realistic.

I started writing an Avro Vulcan B2 Flight sim... but never finnished it... it got too complex  :-(
