The ol Ace is up again!

I found my long lost copy of Combat flight simulator 3 and decided that after about 8 years of waiting for a decent computer to finaly play the game and it hold togheter great for a game that old.

And after playing WWII fighters By Jane's Combat simulators i remember some of the trix to keep those flying pests of my back and in the same time sending them back down in a matter of minutes, i suspected but after about 5 tries to land a Thunderbolt i decided that i need to start train again.

After having a quick afair with IL-2 sturmovic i got a joystick to bad that it worked like crap when it came to flying (it just didn't work out whit some of the buttonplacements and the rudder stering) so im now back on my trustworty Joypad and it have worked wonders this far.

As a big fan about most things from WWII i can't put this gem down and along with Company of Heroes it have picked up my slumbering interest in wargames.

So anyone out here that likes Flight simulators or CoH?

I'm up. I'm way up.

But, no, I haven't played those. I have bad experiences as a kid, trying to play a DOS flight simulator and being unable to do anything but taxi off of the runway into the bushes.

Hahaha my best experience with flight sims has to be Infiltrator on the NES. Nothing beats getting shot down without leaving the runway.

I preferred Jane's Fighter Anthology, with the totally cracked out mod that had me flying satellites, Apache helicopters, MiGs, and firing nuclear missiles into France.
