| Very nice site! |
Very nice site! - Gabe Turk / Microprose, Inc |

| Nice website |
Nice website MiGMan. I've got you bookmarked for future browsing. |
1999 |
 |
| Your guide to disassembling the stick was a tremendous help |
".. it inspired me to actually do something with it ( and a need to fly Falcon 4.0. I followed your instructions (Saitek), lubed the pots and Hey Presto a working X36" |
1999 |
|
| A great amount of info. |
|
1999 |
|
| We all thought we were so high tech back then! |
"I love your museum!! It brought back a lot of great fun memories. Scary to think what we will think of Falcon 4.0 in 12 years huh?" |
1999 |
 |
| Moving control surfaces |
"Never before had I seen a flight sim actually show the effects of the flight control system actively stabilizing the aeroplane as I had seen the first time in EF 2000." |
1999 |
 |
| Hi MiGMan, LOVE your site! |
"I remember when a good friend and I would sit down for an entire weekend and play Pilot-Copilot with F15 Strike Eagle 3. One of the best forefront sims out there!" |
1999 |
|
| "It made me realise once again how far Sims have come." |
"F-19 Stealth Fighter I remember from a night shift in Ijmuiden. A colleague had put the damned game on our Hydro/Meteo computer and played it for hours. As you probably know you can't turn out the engine noise and everyone was going mad because of that ghastly whistling noise. To make a long story short, at 0330 in the morning there was a thunder storm outside and my colleague had to go to the bathroom. .." |
1999 |
 |
| Your site brought a tear to my eye |
" MiGMan hahaha great site ... and thanks for refreshing my memory about things. I loved the Falcon 3.0 yeah it was lame, but back then we didn't have cinematic surround sound like heavy metal F15 by Janes type intro clips/ soundtracks , and even though I love the bass thumping , Guitar gut wrenching cinematics/ soundtracks of today's sims , the sound clip of the Falcon 3 music on your site brought a tear to my eye . man I missed that . Almost made me reload Falcon gold......nah...T minus 5 days and counting to Falcon 4.0 ...damn , I can now die happy." |
1999 |
 |
| I certainly appreciate your efforts |
"Seems like your taste in sims is very close to mine, since virtually every sim I plan on playing (not enough time right NOW, but soon I hope) is covered - very deeply - on your site. PLEASE keep up the GREAT work!!!!!!!!!! " |
1999 |
|
| This page is the BEST! |
"I have always wanted to find a page like this one. I like the section where there was the first MiG-29 Fulcrum - Domark 1990 by Domark. MiG-29 Fulcrum - (Novalogic - 1998) - What a difference between the two games! Anything that has to do with the MiG-29, I like." |
1999 |
 |
| There is always something that surprises you! |
"Last time I saw a old magazine and a ad from Digital Integration that reminded me of going to the U.K to pick up a copy of Fighter Pilot. My wife (girlfriend then) thought it was for a romantic weekend ;< ) man, i was hooked !! It all ended with me and my wife owning a real flightsim-shop, and we still love it." |
1999 |
 |
| Thanks for the comments on my simulator. |
"Only someone like yourself who have built their own cockpit can appreciate the amount of work that goes into one of these 'projects' I estimate that I am about 40% completed, and the hydraulics are going to be the last implemented. Us Aussies must stick together!!!" |
1999 |
|
| Chuck Yeager's Air Combat |
"I am including some shots of Chuck Yeager's Air Combat. (Don't tell anyone else this but it was fun to play again. I just love cutting into a B-17 box in a Focke-Wulf 190 with guns blazing. Bloody magic and the game includes blackouts and stalls)." |
1999 |
 |
| Falcon 3.0 |
" Falcon 3.0 section really brought back some memories. Still have the manual, maps and Pete Bonnani's book. Have ordered Falcon 4.0 from EBworld and hopefully it will land in Oz next week." |
1999 |
|
| Gunship by Microprose |
"Nice article, though I think it has two noteable exceptions. The first helo sim, Gunship by Microprose which was line drawn, not even shaded, just monochrome wireframes. Also from EA and Brent Iverson in 1990, LHX Attack Chopper ." |
1999 |
|
| Thanks for a great Saitek page |
"Thanks for a great Saitek page It's one of the best resources on the web." |
1999 |
|
| Have to compliment you too on your awesome site. |
"There's really an incredible amount of information. Especially on all the flight-sims. I've enjoyed reading many of your reviews, and must say most represented my personal view on these sims. Keep it up." SpeedOne |
1999 |
|
| Your web site is beautiful, and gave me some emotions |
"F-19 Stealth Fighter. - I still remember one night I went Back to the office, where my 286 was, just to play it until 3 AM. Driving back home I still remembered those red pentagon that were designating Ground Targets." |
2000 |
|
| I am so proud of your Olympic section |
"As a fellow Aussie. I am so proud of your Olympic section on your site. I am from Sydney myself. I got home early that night from the F-111 flight because I had to fly out overseas the next day. Travelling overseas telling people about the Olympics was probably one of my proudest times during overseas in Asia and Europe." |

|
| Flight Sim paradise! |
"My most highest salute to the man who makes this site as righteous as it is! This is definitely a bookmark moment for me. I will come back often and revel in this Flight Sim paradise!" |
2000 |
|
| Your site has been a great catalyst |
"in fostering my fledgling ideas of constructing a home built simulator .." |
2000 |
|
| Consider it among the best of Aviation sim sites |
Although my focus is on Armor and Tanks I would like to make an exception for adding a link to the MiGman site because of its quality and content. |

| Right engine should be started first |
In your Take-off Checklist in the F/A-18E Super Hornet the Right engine should be started first as this provides power to the Hyd system (so it say's in the manual). Sorry if you think this is "petty" i just thought with a great site like yours everything should be perfect ! |

"I have a degree in Physics, and love aeronautics and astronautics.." |

| Thanks for the effort! |
"I have been visiting your websites many times so far, and tonight I spent wonderful hours at the Flight Sim Museum; - I just wanted to give you a big thumbs up for the website, it has been a favorite place to visit for a long time so far, and it will be." |

|
| A personal dream of mine |
|
2001 |
|
| There is a lot going on on your site |
"The last time I discovered your site I said, "this is real neat" - I didn't realize at the time is that there is a lot going on on your site and things are constantly updated." |

|
| The days of LCD flight sims |
I also remember the days of LED flight sims, and I even went so far as to write a TI calculator sim of "hyper" space travel. I don't have it anymore, and I doubt I could recreate it, not that I'd even want to! |
2001 |
|
| Keep up the great work |
|
2001 |
|
| Good to see flight sims are alive and well |
"I purchased Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2 and I love it! A far cry from monochrome wire frame graphics with little or no game missions other than take off and landings using a keyboard as flight controls!" |
2001 |
|
| My only "complaint" - lack of sleep! |
"My own! It's that good! The breakdown of the flight sims alone, by specific year and with individual comment and reference(s) is, by itself, worth the gander not to mention everything else.. " |

"You've done a great job portraying all the necessary flight info in one easy to understand place. There are very few other places up to your quality and commitment. Well done!" |

| I was a combat pilot in the Royal Navy flying Vickers Supermarine Scimitar F1s |
"I will be getting some flightsim software soon and was checking out your site when I noticed my name was the same as yours. For info I was a combat pilot in the Royal Navy flying Vickers Supermarine Scimitar F1s. Originally designed as an interceptor its high altitude manoeuvering left a lot to be desired. It was eventually alocated to ground attack where its very high tolerance to G forces made it quite a hot rod. I have only flown civilian helicopters so your sim packages might fill the gap."

| Thanks for keeping this invaluable repository online. |
"It remains one of the classic flight sim sites that all simmers should be aware of. Always brings back many good memories, and I'm surprised at how many sims I never new existed! Great work bud!"

| Run from a USB thumbdrive or bootable CD? |
"I fell in love with this sim the year it came out. I have an "vintage" 486DX2 @ 66 that I keep in the attic just so I can run this game. It is the perfect balance between "arcade" and "realistic simulation". Are you aware of any resources that enable this to be run from a USB thumbdrive or bootable CD? " |
