Re: Retro flight sim playthroughs

in Milliways
Any chance you could look at the flight sims made with Domark/Simis' Flight Sim Toolkit ? We've found quite a few already, but it looks like they have no presence on YouTube whatsoever. I'm familiar with some of FST made flight sims, like those from Ron Walker, tried them back in early 2000s. But …

I'm completely fine with stock X-Wing Alliance, seen the XWAU and though it looks nice I'm not fond on some changes. Might give it a go at some point. I do look forward for the XWVM though.

I wonder how many flight simulators had a proper "high resolution" (=640*350) EGA version... also, I wonder if any VGA flight simulator chose 640*480@16 colours instead of 320*200@256 colours. Not much I guess, only few comes to mind, like FS3 and 4 and Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer 2.0. I …

Probably because that would require either relying on some kind of dithering algorithm to render the 256-color artwork in 16 colors, which wasn't always ideal, or including separate 16-color artwork along with the 256-color assets in a single distribution, which would have required more floppies …

Interestingly there is EGA version of F-117 Stealth Fighter 2.0 which I'm currently hunting for. It's weird that it was not merged together with the VGA one and was released as separate version. If anyone has it please let me know.

I just found your Amiga version video , the game looks so much better on the Amiga than on PC. Back then I wasn't even aware of the existence of Amiga computers. BTW, it seems that my memory is playing tricks on me, but I just listened to the PC speaker intro tune of the PC version and I think I …

That's one awesome intro tune for sure. I used to play quite a lot of F-19 as a kid but I only had PC Speaker sounds back then. Yeah, I only found about F-19 supported Roland just recently after going through all the patches from archived Microprose ftp, I always played using PC Speaker and later …

Another classic - Enemy Engaged Apache Havoc from Razorworks. Interestingly GOG version doesn't work right on modern hardware - you need to remove all the compatibility options from the exe and use DirectX wrapper (dgVoodoo2 or DXWnd) Gameplay vid

I remember what a breath of fresh air it was to see the voxel-based graphics in Comanche: Maximum Overkill . The terrain looked so much more organic and lush than the typical detail-lacking low-res CPU-rendered polygon graphics in the pre-3dfx era. In addition to that, the game struck a pretty …

I played and finished it once back in 1996(?). It's still fun after all those years. For me the best one of those three RealSpace flight sims from Origin (SC, PS, WoG) is still Strike Commander though. It was really ground breaking at the time of the release.

Started new series Jane's Longbow Gold Was there ever a native Win32 version of this, or is it still a MS-DOS only game despite the Gold edition release? According to Mobygames the Gold version has a Windows-compatible executable: https://www.mobygames.com/game/janes-combat-simulations-longbow-gold …
