"F-16" as in "Falcon 4.0"

I have not seen it in the bargain bins lately, but if you look around in different computer stores, you might still find it in those $9.99 CD racks. Try Staples also if you have one around. Other than that, I would try E-bay. Originaly, it came out in a very nice collectors binder. Good Luck.

Cheers,

Ahh, Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, considered by many the benchmark of combat sims at that time and even couple years after it came out. Rowan's Mig Alley was another great sim. At one time I had about 10 different flight sims on the computer. Needless to say, the other half (read wife) did not like it too much. I had to cut it down to 5 ;-).

Cheers,
Louis

Chuck Yeager's Air Combat is a real classic, do you know where could I get it?

Cheers!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Mar-26-03 AT 04:22PM (EST)[/font][p]maybe I'm gonna fly some missions again,too, I really liked them a lot... In ADF, there was also the possibilty of controlling aircrafts with the AWACS-plane, tho I thought the missions were a bit too difficult sometimes.
Some Infos about DID:
they were bought up by Rage, another game-company; almost all of the people who had worked for DID did continue working on "Eurofighter Typhoon". but 2 months ago, I read that Rage is now defunct,too, because they run out of money :( yup, very sad because both of the companies made great simulations

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Mar-26-03 AT 04:31PM (EST)[/font][p]For Christian and Philip,

F-22 ADF was aguably the best modern combat simulator, ever. A perfectly balanced simulation, played it constantly.

BTW, Digital Image Design (DiD) were based in Warrington (England), not too far from where I live. You are right, Philip, they designed an AWACS simulator for the US Airforce to train their operators with. And remember the original Eurofighter sim by DiD? Well, that was originally designed for the RAF to train their pilots with, the RAF agreed to let DiD release it as a software game package, on the condition that certain 'systems' were left out (at the RAF's discretion). Apparently, the flight model was bang on...pretty amazing that something like that got released to the public.

A little question for you, how have you got ADF working with modern graphics cards? I can't get it to work no matter what I try!!

Cheers.

Craig

I never played F-22 ADF, sorry, so I can't tell, but I keep saying this: Falcon 4.0 = best jet combat sim EVER :-)

Cheers!

yup, ADF was great :D
by the way, I've also got some problems with it now after re-installing, in DirecT3d-Mode there are some weird lines all over the monitor - I'm gonna try some patches now, the newest versions seems to be 1.54 or something like that...
