I haven't played that for ages, Mike.
Still on my PC and still have the shortcut on my desktop but it's gathering dust.

How many of the modules do you have Bruce. I have them all except for Flying Circus 2, i only have FC 1.

First time i have had it installed in months. I tried 3 times yesterday to buy FC 2, the Churchill tank and the Sopwith Snipe.

Some weird purchasing checks that i did not understand. Stopped me from being able to complete the sale.

How many of the modules do you have Bruce....

Only Great Battles, Mike.
And the tank add-on.

[haverfordwest]

Great Battles covers, a couple of different modules Bruce.

Anyway none of my business buddy, thank you.

I bet the graphics are superb on your VGA graphics card

Oh! Sorry....that shows you how long it is since I've played it!

Graphics are a bit chunky but better than the old EGA card, mate.

No worries buddy, just taking an interest. Get fed up of the constant train sim drivel.

Aaaah good so you have gone up in the world then Bruce. Your specs are better than mine, although i am running DOS 6.22

You are one blazing whipper snapper on DOS 6.22.

They're the specs of the first PC I bought after having used the Commodore Amiga for a few years.
Seems so long ago, now.
Well, I suppose it is long ago.....that would've been around 1990/91, I think. Hard to recall exactly because I ran the two systems concurrently for a year or two before phasing out the Amiga 500.

Nice one Bruce, i didn't get an IBM pc until late 1994. Before that we had an Amstrad 464 and we paid extra for a colour monitor. But that was really bought for the kids. Although i did enjoy playing Dizzy on it.

Long long time ago buddy, the dark ages as my grandchildren call it You were posh then having two systems on the go

Comparing the pics of IL-2 and Dizzy, graphics have sure come a long way, Mike.

Agree Bruce, Dizzy was super HD Joking aside though buddy, it is like chalk and cheese.

Went for FC 2, Sopwith Snipe and Churchill tank. Still crashed and burned, trying to land the Snipe and the Handley Page bomber

What's that plank hanging off the HP's nose, Mike?
