Title: Vietnam-era flight sims
Post by: Andreas on April 18, 2005, 12:24:54 pm

Are there any Vietnam-era flight sims (either games or mods) existing? At least I've never heard of any, but still!

Chuck Yeager's Air Combat.
You get F4 and Mig21 to fly plus a few other aircraft to fight with.
Includes WW2 and Korea planes too.
Old but good.

Thanks, I'd like to try that out, but I highly doubt it works on XP :(

Didn't BF: Vietnam do something like that?

Maybe I'm confusing it with something else.

Checked, it works fine...
I think it can be found at HOTU

I checked HOTU, they didn't have it available. But, I'll try to acquire it some other way.

Flight of the Intruder comes to my mind. Don't know if it's available anywhere. It's old enough for that, though.

Vietnam era choppers did not excel in survivability as they were unarmored...
A few good hits or a SA7 could bring them down very easily...

Battlefield Vietnam let you fly stuff around.

Although its version of napalm sucked and it was generally very basic...

A Skyraider sim would be good - it was one of the most amazing prop aircraft of that time.

:nod: Agreed. The A-1 is definately my favorite prop-plane of all times.

I've seen a picture where it flew all the way back to base with only half a wing (like that one F-15 :D).

The Skyraider was like the bastard child of a B-17 and a tank.
