FLIGHT SIMULATORS GAMES FLIGHT SIMS: SPECIAL REPORT When Top Gun came out in 1986, it seemed everyone wanted to be a pilot, or as Tom Cruise said “a naval aviator.” Those opening scenes and the dog fighting scenes got the blood pumping and is said to have resulted in an increase of 20,000 uniformed personal compared to the previous year… a 500% increase according to some commentators. They’ve gone underground, away from the spotlight occupied by the more popular genres of gaming. But there was a time when flight sim games were on the covers of the mainstream gaming media. Games like Falcon 3 and 4, IL-2 Sturmovik and Comanche 4 among dozens of others. These games pushed hardware thanks to the coding skills of those creating them. They were made with a passion for accuracy (at least some were) and the game press lapped them up. Flight sims were exciting game releases. Flight gamers on their Amiga, Atari, Amstrad and PC would have their game station set up with analogue joysticks, big speakers for accurate sound and the right lighting so as not to cast glare on your screen. Let’s take a trip back in the Gametraders time machine (pat pend) and see where it all started…
“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return. - Leonardo da Vinci
