wow!
Flying Mirage III attacking Egyptian airfields is among my best flightsim memories.
(and should probably be left as such but heck, let's try this)
(and may scottish rugby glow next year)
Hi theOden,
On your first point, I know what you mean, sometimes it's best to leave the past in the past. . .
But, I have to say, whenever I revisit these great old Jane's sims, I am continually reminded that what they maybe lack in modern graphics, they more than make up for in terms of content, immersion, playability, and downright fun - oh, hell yeah! Something which, as has been observed on these boards many times before, is perhaps somewhat lacking in more modern offerings.
All I have to say about that is, well, I have DCS and FC3 on my steam account, and I fly them a lot, but sometimes you gotta go oldskool, and thanks to Tackleberry, there is another great old title to add to the flyable list
As to your second point - I greatly appreciate the sentiment, and hope for the best - but sometimes pain is just pain
As a schoolboy, I remember Scotland taking the Grand Slam with style, and in my more mature years I remember screaming them on to Calcutta Cup victories over the Auld Enemy at Murrayfield as both a consolation prize (the Calcutta Cup being the only prize worth winning ;-) ) and avoidance of the wooden spoon. All of which, brought great pleasure in its own way.
Nowadays, my most recent memory is the typical let's-snatch-defeat-from-the-jaws-of-victory game against France in our last 6 nations encounter - which was hailed at the time as a vast improvement over the previous match.
Well, as a thrawn Scotsman, I'll not be holding my breath.
But, we live in hope.
Here's hoping tackleberry tackles Jane's F-15 next
