This is true retrogaming!
Oh my, I may need that. Then again having a house cluttered with laptops and old towers with Dos, Win 3.1, Win XP, and Win7 with various service packs does eliminate the need for additional heating in the winter.
After over 2 years I finally completed all the campaigns in the old Fighters Series from EA:
USNF - Ukraine
MF - Kuril Islands
USNF’97/FA - Vietnam
ATF - Egypt and Russia
NATO Fighters - Baltics
I have to say I was having really good time with those old flight sim games. So much playabilty. Where’s Brent Iverson and Paul Grace with a Kickstarter for remaking those classics?
I will always thank Brent Iverson for Chuck Yeager’s Air Combat.
… and LHX Attack Chopper
YESSS!
LHX…that is a name I haven’t heard in a long time.
Wow LHX! many memories of that!
Anyone remember Su-25? It was made using the LHX engine, looked just like it.
No don’t remember that at all dude. What platform was it on? I had a copy of LHX that O swapped with a friend from school for space harrier 2. Best decision ever lol
I liked that- a bit more clunky than Chuck Yeager’s Air Combat but still interesting!
Some trivia regarding Sturmovik Su-25: Soviet Attack Fighter contributed by Paul Grace himself on
MobyGames:
This game was an internal challenge at Electronic Arts. Could they do a fun game in 14 weeks (to show at CES)? Rick Tiberi, Scott Cronce, Connie Braat, Cynthia Hamilton and Paul Grace built the game in a headlong race to the finish line. They got it done, and in spite of tepid sales (not enough time to market it), it made a good profit.

Also my favourite title. Just found out that the “F19” design is based on a model kit by Italeri, in turn based on nothing but rumours about the F117/A, pretty cool:
The plane also figures prominently in Tom Clancy’s Red Storm Rising (back when Clancy still rocked)
It is a pretty cool design. I even think my brother had that kit back in the day.
The F-19 was a lot better than the F-117 except they made it less stealthy…which ironically made it more entertaining to fly. Just looking at it now it violates many of the stealth no-no’s as well as having too many curves for the day.
The F-19 had AAMs, a gun, afterburners, and I think it even had countermeasures?
The description of what it could do in RSR actually reads a lot like the F-22.
