Ah, understood. Thanks for clarifying. No, I'd be on an Amiga, and my objective is to share the playing experience with other players rather than showcase my own.

Or just continue playing the AGA version with native install. The WHDLoad patch doesn't fix anything else but the copy protection in this game.

ah, thanks to this topic i patched adf file and ipf file so my floppy versions are fixed.

Will Do!! I played the CD32 version back in the day, and does not have a copy protection!!! I will replay it (Still have the original box!! I had to make a copy of the CD though!!! )

Wow, the old Kesmai Air Warrior. I was terrible at that but still had fun!

************PROPOSAL*************


Guys,
Regarding the original intention of this thread (Long may the current discussion continue) I propose to start playing Digital Integration's Tornado, and report back here in the next few days.

My hope is some of you will join in and we can discuss our exploits and any challenges here, but failing that, comments, advice and sympathy are welcome.

I don't know a lot about the gameplay, but always thought it looked awesome, particuarly in it's AGA incarnation. The Tornado was apparently the fastest plane in the world, within it's own particular low-level environment, 600mph at 50 feet?

I've sent away for a pc analogue to Amiga joystick cable which I'm hoping to try out soon.

Anyway, fly fast, stay low.

Good luck Just looking at the controls makes me dizzy

I have never played this before, graphics look quite good, but the frame rate is absolutely abysmal (3-4 fps on B1260/50Mhz) with max settings. Someone, maybe Angus, prompted me to look at that, and I think something can be done about it. However there are no promises and it's off topic for this thread, so enjoy the challenge top guns

As the creator of this thread (which has been enjoyably wide-ranging in it's flight-sim discussion) I hereby declare that anything you (or anybody else) has to say on the general subject, is more than welcome.

Yes Sir!!!!

Real Hardware or WinUAE? And what about the Dos Version?

Same here!!

Did Sid Meier create any flight sim for Amiga ? I played Solo Flight on Atari 8-bit and would really enjoy an upgraded version of it on a beefer machine as I still play it on emulator.

While I continued playing flight sims from Jane's and D.I.D., I think I maxed out at something like TFX on 80386 and couldn't really sink that much time for more complex sims.

Up to you, Skipper.

Although, an Amiga version makes more sense to me. I appreciate the DOS version had the Command function and the Mission Designer which was cut from the Amiga version. A shame, but it's what we've got.

WinUAE it is then, since I can use my joystick with it!! But I will also have my my A1200 on stand by!!!

Guys, I put this in a separate thread, but Paraj allowed me to try his experimental and very early stage Tornado speed-up code.

Judge for yourself, here.

Thanks, they all seem pretty hardcore.

What would be the lightest sim on Amiga ?

Well, there's Wings, which might not be regarded as a sim....

but its darn good fun. :-)

Also, very playable and accessible, Knights of the Sky.

And arguably, Carrier Command which is a very involved game, but it's beautifully accessible.

I am no programmer, but I got similar results in WinUAE, after ticking "Immediate Blitter" in WinUAE (WinUAE Properties --> Chipset --> Options)!!! With a 68040 CPU, not even a 60.

Paraj's patches are not needed in WinUAE as there's no chipset speed bottlenecks.

I used to play Combat Air Patrol a lot on my A500 in 90s.
