Welcome to the Flight Sim Museum

April 21st 2006

Pentium-4 - 3 GHz - rigged for silent running - recounts my (successful) quest for the silent PC, and, as usual, I did it on the cheap!

Added a Gallery of all MiGMan's Hardware over the years - and updated the various computer pages -

Micro-Updates

As 2006 flew by and the pressure on my time increased I acknowledged that the update system had to change. So - enter the "Micro-update". Rather than wait for large chunk of time to do a swathe of updates - because that just isn't going to happen - henceforth I will provide snippets of update to the Museum's exhibits. They will be listed on the Flight Sim Museum home page and I will only send out a newsletter when there is a lot of new material to read.

Updated these indexes with the new format:

" I realy enjoyed reading through your website, there were some sims I played and almost had forgotten. But there was one I considered very important and couldn't find, it was "Their finest Hour the Battle of Britain" by Lawrence Holland and Lucasfilm games. I'm not quite sure when it came out, probably around 1990, it was the first Sim I played, I was seven! It would be realy great if you could ad it to the site. Thanks for the wonderfull tour through your Museum, keep up the good work. Greatings 76IAP.-Maennis"

TFH BOB was published in 1989 and the Museum entry is here - Their Finest Hour (Battle of Britain)

Eurofighter Typhoon

In December 2005 the BBC did a news story on the entrance of the Eurofighter Typhoon into service in the RAAF - Eurofighter Typhoon video

C-130 Hercules

A new add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 by Just Flight was released on February 24th 2006..

Since the freeware and published add-ons to the Microsoft flight sims outnumber all others by over 1000 to 1 (quite literally !!!), I've created separate index pages for them:

Maintaining the archives

Replaced missing images and corrected page formatting in:

F16 Fighting Falcon - 1990 - moved from 1980 to 1990 and box art added.

Lightning Simulator on the Sinclair Spectrum - 1988 moved from 1982 to 1988 and name corrected.

Acrojet was released in 1985 on the Sinclair Spectrum.

Project Stealth Fighter was also released on the Sinclair Spectrum , but not until 1990.

Thanks for these corrections go to Adrian Brown
