The Top 10 Amiga Flight Simulators

[Christopher Low]

Flight Unlimited 3 was released for PC in September 1999. It was never anywhere near a Commodore machine.

I’m sure you’re already aware , but if not, did you know you can buy Kennedy Aproach on steam for the PC as a reproduction ?

I spent far too many hours last year working Atlanta as all my old techniques came flooding back, pesky Air France Concordes !

Oh yes... it was Windows. 🤣 

"Beach Jet niner lima golf, clear to land runway 34 left, advise you monitor ATIS."

It was Looking Glass. Its all coming back now. They did "Thief" too. Great game. 

Flight of The Intruder was definitely the Commodore, though. 😸

 

You were rude regarding my memory failure, though. So one cat point taken away from you, my boy.

 

MINUS ONE 😼

Initially I had a Sinclar Spectrum but obtained a Commodore 64 when they became available

Wow, I had a friend with a Timex Sinclair 1000 and it was the first time I played a flight simulator.

A year later, I got a Commodore 64 and bought Sublogic's Flight Simulator II.  I used this for a couple years then got out of computers for about 10 years until I got a real PC from Digital and bought FS95, which amazed me compared to the old FSII.

I'll have to look into that.  Way back then, I spent most of my time at Denver (the lowest level). I wanted to really
perfect my technique 🤣

It’s exactly how you remember it , but you can now use a mouse if you want to, even the voice is exactly same.

The bane of my existence in Kennedy Approach were all those planes low on fuel: "EMERGENCY!" 😱

Devon... do these guys have DLSS and multi-frame generation? And how many CUDA cores? 🤔

Absolutely nothing. Can you imagine just how annoying it must have been for the programmers having to test their sound coding, never mind any alpha/beta testing?

Did anyone listen for the whole 10 hours?  🤣

Seriously those games are so old that they probably would run at 10 billion frames per second even on a modern potato.  No need for anything else.

I used to enjoy that A320 simulator, it was well ahead of its time.
