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!

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!

The post 15 – 1942: The Pacific Air War first appeared on Retro Dogfight.

Hello my friends, and welcome to this episode of Retro Dogfight. Side note, this is the first episode we’ve recorded with Riverside! It’s a lovely web-based platform that records from each of our machines individually, so hopefully we’ll sound even better moving forward!

Now, to the episode itself! Since we’ve eschewed going chronologically, and because my brain has been mush of late, I decided that we should cover our favorite sims, starting with mine, 1991’s Gunship 2000, which you can snag on Steam and GOG along with the original! Now, I love this sim, love love love. It’s not only an amazing sim, but also has strategy and RPG elements as well, so I could play it forever. Did my co-hosts agree with my love for the game? Listen to find out!

Next time, we’ll cover Denny’s favorite flight sim:

• 1942: The Pacific Air War

Which can also be acquired from Steam and GOG, and happens to be my favorite World War II flight sim! It’s so good y’all, I can’t wait to get into it!

Thank you, as always, for listening, and we can’t wait to see you next time!
