Titus.Hmmm. I can't really see the point of buying a Flight sim company with some classics like Tornado and Hind under their belts and not expecting them to make sims. Well, no official word has emanated from anywhere... sooo, lets see what happens. Gavin

Apart from f16 combat pilot and birds of prey
(ok,ok, f19,f15,gunship,f117,falcon,choplifter and a few others before and after)
tornado WAS the sim...tfx came and watched with better graphics but tornado rocked..tornado..shooting down a valley at 200ft..**** , radar contact six o'clock!Drop lower, hug contors, hit throttle and decide wether to shoot your load..okay, bandit has lost contact, you still have a couple of 2,000lbs for that has site...aaa ahead..press insert and delete and watch from the nav (wso) station as the tracer follows the path of your jet..the target is ahead..a hind pops up and slides under the nose..your not low enough!!fire an alarm in loiter pop up mode and settle back into the valley..too late your target pops up, **** ..no weapons preped!!Fxxx! Scan the keyboard...press three keys in quick series..drop on release que..Boom!!!! no time (or view) to admire the damage..throttle to the stop ..sam..look left..there it is , 2 o'clock..throw aircraft to left and rip down a crease in the land ..smile as you hear a 'crump' and see the sam destruct a while from your hide.
The rwr pops to life again..su-27..oh noooo!
Where is the cap you positioned in the mission planner?F.3's..come and engage..He is still there, stuck to your six like a home sick sweetcorn piece. He shoots, he scores! christ! Alarms are ringing, you feel hit, the screen rocks, so you go to an outside view..your green tornado now trails a not unconvincing trail of smoke..oh, bugger...we're still flying, the dials say you have lost an engine, your wings won't sweep forward and you cant get your gear down....oooooowwww!Ils kicks in when your in range of the field, your mind imagines(and hopes) that the RAF fire fighters are waiting
and your aeroplane follows the beacon down onto the flightpath..a hundred feet from the runway your tornado reverts to manual and you settle to the asphalt like a shot pidgeon..thank God you hit your target....

F16 combat pilot was well ahead of its time, first to feature multi player, first with helicopters , good GCA, and the landing and roll out rumble still have not been bettered.
I remember i used to load up with AA ordinance, get about seven kills before i bought the farm,you could evetualy get total control of the air and them go on to stuff the opposition.
and if i remember correctly all that on one floppy,ahh, sigh,tsk tsk tsk...tony d
ps, tornado don,t get me started on that.

Tracer,
do you have to edit your config to get it working? On win98 it used to get to the planning screen and when i pressed 'take off' it crashed....and I swore. Very loudly! The demo that I found ran, so why wouldn't the game? Also, the desert storm missions were excelent, especially LGB'ing the dictators hotel swimming pool, although the F.3 was a bag of wank against anything....
Sorry h.arrier, i have my "old" P200 installed with Win95 as well as a *full* proper DOS boot with UMB,EXP,High MEM sys etc to chose from. I had the same symptoms as you had with Win98  I had blown my old P1 board and couldn't find a replacement (AT form board) untill about 5 months ago when i came across a cool board which supports EDO & SDRAM mem plus AT form factor.....so i set it up for my old machine and got the small shop that built my original machine 6 years ago, to put on a menu with DOS. No doubt you can get a full DOS boot put on as i have for about £30 on Win98...the problem arises when using joysticks/sound cards through DOS as on my old machine i have an AWE32 with full DOS drivers running with a Microsoft Sidewinder 3D pro which is both analogue and digital(by way of a switch on it) they are both 6years old.
Cards/sticks nowadays use DirectX and no support through DOS(as there are no DOS drivers supplied with them) Cheers

Digital Integrations titles had the rights sold to Interactive Magic who popped out iF-22 Bosnia, iF-22 Persian Gulf, iFA/18 Carrier Strike Fighter. Hind, Apache, and their F-16 sim were all sold to Interactive Magic who was apparently trying to bolster their flight sim support and successes of Air Warrior & Dawn Patrol. Since then iMagic has folded up shop and sold the rights to another business. We do carry virtually every single one of these titles at excellent pricing. We also offer 10% off on any orders placed as long as you let us know you found us at Combatsim.com Digital Integration very much had their act together as they had a focus on quality rather than quantity. I have played iF-22 Persian Gulf and found it quite enjoyable. I loaded up iF18 CSF but have not really had the time to get into it as another title we had arrive called "Tides Of War" has had me hooked. Rick
