Thank you for your contributions and hard work in keeping this site and the game alive for so long. We've lost friends before, and each one is a wound to the community, but the spirit will live on. RIP Neils.
Also for RIBob, my condolences on your loss.

Not my first game, but it was the first game I ever saw on PC. In the late 70s, my friend down the street's dad was a professor at the university and had a TRS80 at his house. Phone cradle modem, reel to reel and cassette tape. Paul (friend) was so excited to show off Star Trek to us! Not exactly the most blood-boiling game, and certainly not to an 8-year-old.
My first game was Microsoft Flight Simulator in 1984 on an Apple IIe. No joystick, and 16 fps [if that] on a green monochrome monitor. Once I moved to IBM, the jig was up for Apple! Then it was Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer, Lucas Arts Battle of Britain, SWOTL and MicroProse titles...anything I could get. I still have the 5.25" and 3.5" disks for many of the games. They would likely crumble to dust if I tried to insert them though. Fond memories of being a loner without a guitar.

Welcome aboard! There are tons of add-ons and mods for the sim, and the community is always helpful.

My father moved recently and found this unopened. He gave it to me.
How much patching, downloading, insane modding, and disk space allocation would I have to do to get up to BMS 4.37?

Start with the base game features... I recommend checking out the environmental mods first.... https://combatace.com/files/category/747-environmental-mods/
From there it's all about what you wanna fly and where you wanna fly.

My dad found Falcon 4.0 Gold when he moved and gave it to me. I see the patch procedure in your post, but I wonder about disk space and where to get the updates? Falcon3 was my jam in the days before true online and I got sucked into Jane's world online before Falcon became a thing. I have been watching the changes in Falcon, and now that DCS has an F-16, should I even bother?

Man, this looks amazing, but I have so many broken installs and no disk space.

Well that explains all the chemtrails.... happy M1 day! :)

I've used nothing but Saiteks since they came out. Cyborg, X36, 2-X45s, and now my X52 Pro is at least 15 Y.O. and should be replaced, but it keeps on trucking. Yes, some of the buttons need attention, and the J/S is wobbly, but it works. I will get a new one when the boss authorizes a new PC.
