bit of a SWAG ... but hidden and dangerous?

Well that was a good SAWG - plus I learned what SAWG stands for Hidden & Dangerous possibly H&D Delux which is what I played, and mostly loved, apart from missions that were very hard to win unless you did thing in a very precise order or way.

Back up in the air again - or will be, when this Spit takes off - here's the next one, which could be tricky...

Scientific Wild Arsed Guess...

????? BOB II ????? Have no idea. IL2 FB Aces Expansion pack???Hmmm??

S!Blade<><

IL-2 Birds of Prey?

Or maybe War Thunder?

Aces High 2 or Warbirds 3 perhaps?

Warbirds 3 is close enough. It's History Channel Battle of Britain, which is Warbirds 3 based and IIRC when you apply one of the mega updates, gives you the Warbirds content, too. I quite liked it - the terrain textures were a bit low-res if effective and presumably better for MP performance, and the aircraft were quite good, as seen in the Spit. The missions were not bad, too, including one manning an Oerlikon on a destroyer with a Channel convoy under air attack.


And the next one...need the product identified, not merely the name of the aircraft...

F/A-18E Super Hornet is my guess.

Now this isn't a sim I played back in the day but one I bought retroactively several years ago from GOG.com. Unfortunately it never worked right and had all kinds of problems. However, this picture just sent me to GOG where apparently a user has found a fix(not sure if it works myself) and I discovered that the game was removed by GOG until they can fix it. There's a blue text where GOG explains that it recognizes it never worked right so therefore does not meet their "GOG" standards so they've taken the game down until they can fix it. I hope GOG always maintains this philosophy and integrity with their older game releases. I really want to play the original Rainbow 6 again but it has problems to I have read and there's probably no way my original CD would work at all. I hope they do the same for that game so maybe I can finally re-purchase it through GOG and have it working. Sorry for the semi off topic.

Yes that's the one. Only ever dabbled with jetsims and this one was no exception, though it seemed quite good.

This next one should be relatively easy, though calling it a 'sim' is stretching the term a fair bit...

Crimson Skies

But of course!

This one should not be too hard to identify, either...

EAW?

I loved Crimson Skies!

I'm with BD-123. I haven't played EAW in many moons but those sky boxes look familiar.

Yes it's good old European Air War. The terrain looks like it's based on CFS(1). Pic is IIRC courtesy of von Oben's EAW mod site.

How's about this one, then?

iM1A2 by Interactive Magic?

Close...but not quite...

It's Interactive Magic Coot,but the game is Spearhead. I'm pretty sure I owned both back in the day. In fact I've owned nearly all the tank sims ever made I think.

Here's a cheat sheet, can't believe it's still up (sorta)...
http://www.tok2.com/home/avionics/

I owned iMagic iM1A2 Abrams and remember enjoying it quite a bit but that was many moons ago. I never heard of Spearhead. Was it a good tank sim? The only tank sims I remember owning and playing were iMagic iM1A2 Abrams and Microprose M1 Tank Platoon 2.

I can't honestly remember Coot. It has to be over 20 years ago. Perhaps my very vague memories of it suggest it wasn't.

Taking into account the amount of hours played I would say that the original M1 Tank Platoon was my favourite game. I first played it on my Atari ST and later on the PC.

All I've ever wanted is a modern M1 TP but alas it's not to be. Having said that I'd always wanted a re-make of Carrier Command and we got one.The problem was that despite the advances in graphics and sound it wasn't very good.
