I just got Su 27 Flanker up and going in DOS Box... I must say the interface confuses me! It's more like a military mission planner rather than a PC Game/sim. How can I tell what version I'm running? It came on a CD-ROM in a pack with other old DOS sims.

Hi!

Capt Haddock,
The Sue was and still is pretty good sim.

I really think the ED should make a 'Legacy version' for the Win xp/vista/7/Linux.

It would need a support at least for the sound and joystick/s.
Also a faster screen play (fps) and longer viewing in general would be very nice.



I tried the Su27 v1.5 several times in a Win XP home(32bit) pc without success.

I have a three usb controllers:
- CH FighterSitck
- Saitek X35T with stand-alone mod.
- Logitech MoMo pedals (and wheels)

I was trying the CHFS alone with Sue, but the axis inputs were just flickering widly.

I combined above controllers to one virtual joystick(four axis) with PPjoy. The virtual joystick was working fine with newer games but with Sue the axis were just flickering


khriztian,
Thank you for your Su25/MIG29 mod link
Please, could you kindly tell your system specs? Maybe the Sue is working better in Win 7?


ArgonV,
Yes, the Sue was known back then with it's 'proffessional' menu/gui. No intro or anything, just staright to the business.

Did you check the 'About Flanker' window? It should tell the version.

My first Sue was in a CD with 4 different sims. Sue, Flight Unlimited, some ww2 carrier sim and something I can't remember.
The Sue version was 1.1 or 1.2 DOS version.

Very cool to see her still in action!

Flanker 1/1.5 is not freeware and is still protected by CP.

It looks like my version is v1.1. Any way to update it? My CD-ROM version came in the same kind of pack jatsi.

Awesome! Thanks for the link! Now I'll have to reinstall it this weekend

This PPjoy... I looked briefly into it yesterday and it seems to be a real pain to install in Windows 7 (something to do with unsigned drivers). Is there a more up to date version? I've actually been looking to something like this for Di's Hind (another oldie with joystick troubles). Sounds like a really handy tool!

Hi guys, what about resolution? Are we have only 640x480 to display? Sim window is quite small on monitor.

Yeah 640x400 or 480... But I have my monitor/graphics card drivers to full screen the picture with just black bars on the side to keep the aspect ratio the same 5:4 format.

I've got a copy of the 1.5 mission disc.
