the 'good' ole days of flight sims

For me it was SWOTL : Secret Weapons Of The Luftwaffe.

Of course I remember Red Baron, RB2 and RB3D, but the greatest one for me was SWOTL.

1990: a lot of playable planes, thanks to this game, I learned a lot of things on WWII planes and aerial battles (Schweinfurt...). Me 262, He 162, Go229, Me 163, Do235... a lot of great planes were playable, and in the B17 you could play as a pilot or a gunner !!!

I get a lot of victories in this games, musics were cool... I remember, I was too young to know what a rocket is, so I thought a rocket was this little white cloud which explodes near an ennemy plane. You can see it in the video above at 0:07 (innocent I was;o) I also like to fly under the bridges... You couldn't see the ground as there were no details (only a green / black / or blue color), but you could land to it. Once landed, I shot the houses to explode them. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I remember I had to calibrate the joystick each time I wanted to play. I launched the game thanks to DOS, by taping:

'D:' and 'go'

C:\D: (Enter)
D:\go
