Horns Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I'm 38. First real-world flight sim was probably MSFS, but the first I played obsessively was the original Elite, I think I played both of those in the 80s. I remember seeing the box for Blue Thunder at my cousin's house, but I don't remember when that was and if I ever got to play it. Modules: [A-10C] [AJS 37] [AV8B N/A] [F-5E] [F-14] [F/A-18C] [FC3] [Ka-50] [M-2000C] [Mig-21 bis] [NTTR] [PG] [SC] Intel i7-12700F, Nvidia GTX 3080, MSI MPG Z690 Carbon WiFi, 32GB DDR4 @ 1600 MHz, SteelSeries Apex Pro, Razer Basilisk 3 VKB Gunfighter 3 w/ F-14 grip, Thrustmaster Warthog throttle, Thrustmaster MFD Cougars x2, MFG Crosswind, DSD Flight Series button controller, XK-24, Oculus Rift (HM-A) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 38 Started with SubLOGIC Flight Simulator on the Commodore 64 in the 80's as a kid and have been flight simming since. I have tried various flight sims through the years but earned the majority of my virtual flight time in all editions of MSFS/CFS, Falcon 3.0/4.0 and now DCS. I started flying DCS with the A-10C in 2014. i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BravoYankee4 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I'm 44 and have been a digital pilot since the Microprose Gunship days on the C64, but that was more about waiting for the tape load than actually flying.

EightyDuce Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 33. Started with Top Gun for Dendy (Russian knock-off Nintendo..Google it) when I was around 10; it was the only game cartridge I owned other than the Mario/Duckhunt/Olypics cartridge that came with the system. Played that game till the cartridge died and blowing on it no longer did the trick, easily over 1000 hours. That was it until 1997 when I came to the States. My old man bought F/A 18 Hornet 3.0 and Janes ATF; the rest is history.

BattleAxes Skinner Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 34. Started playing Novalogic (F-16, MiG-29), Janes (IAF, F-15) & F-16 Aggressor way back in the late nineties early 2000s. Played LOMAC too for a bit but not as seriously as DCS now. || नभ स्पर्शं दीप्तम् || - Touch the sky with glory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstauning Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) Acording to my wife, Flankerman and Il are the same age ! Takeing a look at my first "Combat sim" was back in 1983 on a ZX, Im sure she is right :) Fighter Pilot Ive think was the name of it, or was that when it came to the C64? Well got the ZX when Ill was 13, so still not bingo fuel for me. Michael. PS did we not have a Microsoft flightsim back in 81? Ive recall to have been flying that as my very first sim on my XT.
