February 11, 20206 yr Nice. I loved European Air War, it was a true masterpiece. Looking forward to see more news.
February 11, 20206 yr Commercial Member Wow, this brings back memories. I remember F-15 Strike Eagle.... "so realistic" apparently Russian intelligence bought it for analysis (according to their marketing at least 🙂 B. York FS2Crew Web Site / FS2Crew Facebook Page / FS2Crew Discord
February 11, 20206 yr I still have the F-16 on CD somewhere, the manual was the size of the telephone directory!

February 11, 20206 yr Chock calling PC, engage cautious optimism mode! Cautious because I guess we should always remember what Paul McCartney allegedly once said when asked about the possibility of the Beatles reforming, (although apparently it was Linda who originally said it, when Wings were on tour): 'You cannot reheat a souffle'. Or perhaps we can also use the example of the more recent Star Wars movies, which, try as they might, cannot seem to recapture the (very much of its time) thrill of the original three movies. Back in the day - along with Janes - Microprose appeared to want to simulate every military vehicle known to man in their various offerings. More often than not they actually managed to pull it off with some aplomb too, so it was pretty much a given that any new sim they banged out was an instant buy for those of us around at the time. Notable high points in their output for me, being Midwinter, Gunship and B17. Some of those titles still stand up today as sims which are enjoyable to play with which is no doubt why you can still buy them on Steam. So if they put out an updated version of B17, I'd be all over that like a cheap suit. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
February 11, 20206 yr Back in the 80's and early 90's Along with The Magic Candle, I played some of their games to exhaustion. Somewhere I should still have the floppies/disks for the F-15 Strike Eagle, the F-19 Stealth Fighter, Pirates and Master of Magic. Ramón. Time, is the one thing no one can buy.
February 11, 20206 yr I wish they would have brought F1 series by Geoff Grammond. 9950X3D, X870E ROG CROSSHAIR HERO, Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB DDR5-6000 PC5-48000, ASUS RTX 5070Ti 16GB, 9100 PRO 4TB Samsung ,990 PRO 4TB Samsung, AX1600i 1600 Watt 80 Plus Titanium ATX, ASUS 360 ARGB EXTREME 360mm Liquid CPU Cooling Kit.
February 11, 20206 yr my suspicion is that people behind the brand trying to get their paycheck using the past glory 9950X3D, X870E ROG CROSSHAIR HERO, Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB DDR5-6000 PC5-48000, ASUS RTX 5070Ti 16GB, 9100 PRO 4TB Samsung ,990 PRO 4TB Samsung, AX1600i 1600 Watt 80 Plus Titanium ATX, ASUS 360 ARGB EXTREME 360mm Liquid CPU Cooling Kit.

Chris Geeze I still have the original box to both the F19 and 117 stealth bomber in the Dos days. What a return. Bob
February 11, 20206 yr Potentially very cool! Any idea who's involved? Sid Meier? Bill Stealy? Or if it's a new crew, someone that's got their vision and talent under its skin? One of my all-time happiest sim experiences was a visit to Microprose in 1989 to interview Meier and Stealy for a flightsim publication I founded. Two remarkable characters. I hope the revived Microprose can do them justice. Alan Ampolsk"Ah, Paula, they are firing at me!"-- Saint-Exupery

February 11, 20206 yr Spent way too much time with B17 and M1 tank platoon and sorry Microprose, Longbow 2 was better.
February 11, 20206 yr I have a near mint first edition Empire Interactive Mig Alley sitting on the shelf in front of me. Those boxes aren't much smaller than a Corn-Flakes box. I still love flying the Milviz F-86 because it brings back memories of the hours I spent playing that game. I see a new golden age for the genre just around the corner. I think I'll try to install it and see what happens.😁
