MoonGoose Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Hi all, im rather new at flying things, but i played a lot old sims when i was a teenager... i remember Aces High, F-15 strike eagle, the old Falcon for Amiga, Comanche 4, F-117A. I say the old Microprose did really a lot of funny sims... and the best i did was Dogfight from microprose.. the only one with lot of aircrafts with their own pits. now im startin loving this Strike Fighters 2 sim... and this got no rivals in terms of fun, dynamicity and eventually graphics. looks like more a indie game but the dynamic missions and campaigns really addicted me. Now im 29 years old with a comin daughter and i hope for the best. well i'm no pilot or aviator... i only once piloted a ultralight amateur plane with my uncle's instructor when i was 13... was fantastic tho... my grandfather used to take me with him at Villafranca NATO base to watch AMI F-16 takin off for training... i still remember the smell of aviation fuel afterburned in the takeoffs... Thats all! see ya around! Quote

harryleith Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 G'day Moongoose. You sure found the right place to hang out here. I am relatively new to SF2 as well, having been away from flight sims for years. SF2 is a great game, and the third-party mods you will find here just make it even better, not to mention the helpful advice and guidance. I have found the discussions, help and advice on this forum to be excellent, and an invaluable aid to getting to grips with the game - so don't be afraid to ask - (after checking out the knowledge base. of course!) Too bad all the advice can't make me a better pilot! Guess I'll have to look after that myself! Quote
Stingray72 Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Yes welcome!!! I am fairly new as well, maybe been on the forums for a year or so. I am a hard core IL2 gamer, but the community here is so much more tight than anything from the IL2 guys (no offense if you are reading this!!!) You have picked a bunch of guys who will stay up through the wee hours of the night to help you solve you problem, and they are a very knowledgeable bunch indeed. I hope you enjoy what the family has to offer!!! ~Stingray Quote
