Below doesn't seem to have been posted previously.

I believe the interviewee is the same guy with the legendary flight sim collection (can't find the thread with the photos), I'd like to see him do a Let's Play with every sim in his collection thumbsup

Comparing the golden age of flight sims to now, there was so much imagination required that the experience seems more like daydreaming as opposed to real life (ie, the work involved in BMS 4.33 or DCS A-10C), possibly why people are so nostalgic about it.

Something else I'd like to see revived at SimHQ - Read it, Do it.

SimHQ Pretzel has a great collection too. Thanks for sharing. So much nostalgia with a bit of lamenting too as well on these gems from our past and the memories and times and places they stir up.

The 8:00 mark...awesome! Thanks for sharing.

I'm trying to get back the passion.



The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in
Gives way and suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph
Could be the human race is run

THAT'S the guy I was trying to think of, thanks - found the collection now, illustrated here.

As a public service, these guys should be doing 20-part youtube documentaries on the evolution of the flight sim. santa
