  • Will flight sims survive?

  • Flight Sims are inherently much more complex than most game genres, and therein lies the secret of their long term attraction.

  • Mark Pajak recalls one of the first sims from Digital Integration

  • Back in the early eighties a couple of Englishmen left their programming jobs with the Royal Air Force and in 1984 established their own company called Digital Integration. Their goal was to develop complex flight simulations for home computers that would be very advanced in flight modeling accuracy, graphics and attention to detail. MiGMan thanks their experience developing simulations for the RAF the enterprise got off to a very good start.

  • Falcon 2.5

  • I have always loved the original Falcon 1.0 by Spectrum Holobyte released in 1987. I would play the black bandit mission over and over trying to see how many MiGs I could down before the bingo fuel warning appeared. Unfortunately it is not playable on todays PC's. However, I have been playing around inside the assembly language code of Falcon for over a decade and, feeling real nostalgic, I decided to try and fix it so it could be played on todays PC's. My current PC is a Pentium II 266 and it now works fine on it. Hopefully others will benefit from this enhancement as well. - Mark Hermonat

  • "I stopped flying computer sims in the early 90's when I became an actual airline pilot. For me, desktop sims launched me in to this career. There were 2 versions. Came with maps and a pretty good manual. You would fly routes and be graded and given a "salary". At the time, I enjoyed this as well as A320 which I see you have already." - Tom Beiser

    4. Taste (Not important in flight sims)
    5. Smell (Not important in flight sims)
    6. Proprioception is the sense of where your body parts are in 3D space.
    7. Kineaesthetic Perception is your sense of movement.

    Senses 6 and 7 are crucial to our sense of self and of what is reality, especially when combined with touch.

  • MiGMan’s Combat Diary | 2000

  • I hesitate to criticise a product which has probabably been a labour of love for the developers, and am are especially loath to discourage work on the classic '50's jets, but once a product starts competing for your sim-allowance then it has to measure up. Unfortunately in Microsoft Combat Flight Sim 2 the Vulcan seems a fish out of water.

  • MiGMan’s Combat Diary, 1998

  • "EF 2000 first saw the light of day (a gloomy Scandinavian day at that! ) in 1995. It's roots lay in F-29 Retaliator and TFX but it went much, much further, breaking new ground in combat flight fidelity. From engine start, sorry, I mean TWO engine starts, you knew this was a new kind of flight sim experience. Taxiing quickened the pulse as the Eurofighter bobbed and bounced on its suspension. Sunlight glinted through the canopy, wheel brakes on, engine spooled up and the beast was straining at the leash.

    "Brakes off and the tyres rumble, 120 knots and the dragon leaps into the air."
    Ode to EF 2000 - MiGMan, 1999."

  • Pilatus PC-6 Realism mod

  • "This is a modification to the MSFS 2020 default Microsoft Pilatus PC-6/B2-H4 Turbo Porter aircraft, including all of the G950, Floats, and Skis variants. It is primarily aimed at improving the aircraft flight model to make its overall performance more closely match the actual aircraft, providing a much closer experience to flying the real aircraft. Multiple changes have been made to the flight model and engine parameters, as well as the weight and balance, which are all detailed in the Change Log file in the Documentation folder. A PDF copy of the actual aircraft POH is also included in the download under the Documentation folder."

  • Sim Dashboard and the MB-339

  • In early 2021, when I was developing the MiGMan’s World Tour series the MB-339 was my trusty steed. Reliable and stable in flight, and with good visibility, it helped me created hundreds of videos and take tens of thousands of photographs.In these images I used OBS to overlay my physical cockpit over the sim view. All the displays were constructed with the fantastic and user-friendly Sim Dashboard software, which I still use in late 2023 to display 5 pages of custom readouts.
