I had Falcon 4.0 when it first came out, it CAME with a manual in a real nice binder with maps. Wish I still had it, but I think I traded it to a goon.

Humbug Scoolbus posted:I worked on Falcon 4.0, both PC and Mac versions. I still think it and the IL series are the best flight sims ever made. Also Jane's Longbow 2. slidebite posted:I've still got mine. The biggest issue with the manual is that there were so many manual addendum that it ended missing a whole bunch of game features as the patches came. See above! In fact most of the Jane's games had awesome manuals.

The remake of SWOTL was very disappointing, but it had a big game to live up to, I suppose.

slidebite posted:That entire episode really deserves to be watched in its entirety. It's an amazing flashback to a time with a show that's very professional and polished and people gushing about the utter realism and amazing graphics of the sims. Nothing is more professional than a man with extendable antennae on his head.

VikingSkull posted:Yeah but most large airline crashes are. If there's twisted and flaming metal you'd have to walk through, it's generally bad enough where your feet are probably the least injured thing on your body. In which case you want to wear closed-toed shoes so they can identify your remains by toe print.

Mr. Despair posted:A lot of American rockets nowadays use Russian designed engines, too. The Atlas 5 for example uses a russian built RD-180, and they started doing that with the Atlas 2R I think. I always get a chuckle at the thought of a rocket that started out with the goal of nuking the USSR being powered by Russian engines (even if the current Atlas doesn't share much with the original). And most of the old ones were German-designed, either designed in Germany, or by "liberated" German scientists.

I haven't seen it in about 5 years, but last time I went, it looked great. The March ARB museum tends to take care of their planes.

Sagebrush posted:Better than that, if I'm remembering right. They got no return, turning up the power more and more, then suddenly a return appeared and the McD guy got all smug and went "ah, there it is,we got it". Turns out the bird had just landed on the model. I loved that they had to lock up their coffee mugs at the end of the day because they had the nose of a the F-117 drawn on it, sticking out of a cloud.
