So I was in my F16 minding my business... (56Kers beware)

looking at the fluffy clouds




I'm making sure all is well in my "office."



When all of a sudden I sighted an enemy bomber. See him? He's that speck in front of me.


I immediately lock him up and let loose with AIM-120.


The missile has a good track on him.


He maneuvers to avoid the missile,


but the outcome is inevitable.


All the screens were taken with FRAPS at 1600X1200 and arbitrarily compressed, it would seem, by Photobucket. In-game, everything is much sharper. The sim is called Falcon 4 Allied Force. I have been a flight simmer since the early 90's and unlike the neo-cons, I like to fight my wars on my computer. :)

1. Did you ever play any of the Jane's sims?

I have a couple older ones and they're pretty deep, especially their F-15 sim.

2. Oh sure I did.

I really loved the old F-15 sim. It was really fun. I tried Jane's F-18 sim, but by that time I had become immersed in Falcon 4 and its dynamic campaign mode making the campaign mode for Jane's F-18 rather lame and boring. Currently, I am getting my jet kicks with the new and improved Falcon 4 Allied Force and my prop kicks with the IL2 series.
