Hello my friends, and welcome to this episode of Retro Dogfight! In this episode, we’re starting a series looking at many of the sims helped along by a bloke named Paul Grace, whom Denny knows personally, and whom we eventually hope to interview. We decided to go through several of his sims, starting with some of his earliest. This time we’re looking at the three Chuck Yeager sims, specifically:

• Chuck Yeager’s Advanced Flight Simulator
• Chuck Yeager’s Advanced Flight Trainer 2.0
• Chuck Yeager’s Air Combat

Playing these sims was something of a wild ride because they go from the very basic and rudimentary to the very awesome and legendary. It made for a really fun podcast to record, and I hope you all enjoy listening to it as much as we did making it.

Next time, we’re moving onto Korea to celebrate the launch of IL-2: Korea…which we won’t be talking too much about. What we WILL be talking about are:

• Sabre Ace: Conflict Over Korea
• Mig Alley

Which should be a fun ride, especially as I’ve never played Sabre Ace before. Thank you so much for listening, my friends, and we hope you enjoy the show!

The post 17 – The Chuck Yeagers first appeared on Retro Dogfight.

Welcome, my friends, to this month’s episode of Retro Dogfight! This time, Denny, Chase and I discuss Chase’s favorite flight sim, MicroProse’s 1998 magnum opus, European Air War. This is a fascinating sim that I had to come to grips with, my own self.

Originally I didn’t play it much because I unfairly compared it to 1942: The Pacific Air War. Once I put that aside, I was shocked at what an amazing sim this was. All this and more in this episode!

In the next episode, we’ll look at the surprisingly small amount of flight sims focusing on flying legend Chuck Yeager, including:

• Chuck Yeager’s Advanced Flight Simulator
• Chuck Yeager’s Advanced Flight Trainer 2.0
• Chuck Yeager’s Air Combat

It should be a fun time, so we can’t wait to talk about these classics. Well, I know I can’t. Have a lovely day everyone, good hunting, and be sure to check your six!

The post 16 – European Air War first appeared on Retro Dogfight.

Welcome to this episode of Retro Dogfight! This time, the three of us discuss Denny’s favorite flight sim, and my favorite WWII sim, 1942: The Pacific Air War, which you can get on Steam and GOG. If you’re unaware, this sim covers much of the air war in the Pacific in 1942, and it’s a game you can play for years, thanks to massive career modes, tons of single missions and a dynamic admiral mode. This is such a wonderful sim, even if it is over thirty years old.

Next time, we’re going to talk about Chase’s favorite flight sim:

• European Air War

Which you can also get on Steam and GOG.

Thank you so much for listening, and be sure to check your six!
