How come fyrflyer is staying out of this one?
We need you in here Jim!!!

Hey, do you still have the game we played in WMC?
The two look alike but the one from your airtanker site was easier to play...

I really think this game could be fun with a little more realism and analogue controls like a joystick, maybe even in 3D. With the semi-realistic physics like in the orignal Crimson Skies then such a game would be great, and life-saving as opposed to the opposite as it so popular now a days.

Mike, what game are you talking about and did you find it?

It's a game fireflyr had on an airtanker website. It's almost the same but slightly easier to play. It shows you how much water you have and so on and the plane can't change directions...

the problem is that we're both stricken with CRS and therefore can't remember the details or where to find it again I think...

Ah I see, except what does CRS stand for?

Speaking of airtankers (thanks for the giving me the right name) has anyone of you seen the 747 Super Airtanker? Holy heck, I thought they were kidding until I saw videos of it in action and explanantion about how the entire system works, wow! It also said the classic airtankers are nearing the end of their certification or such so they couldn't be used anymore.

Ah, I think I'll have to answer that, because people suffering from CRS usually can't remember! The CRS-syndrome is a rather widespread and little-known disease. It's more common the older people get, but also young people seem to suffer from it more and more. I have observed the first indications of suffering from it myself. Now you're probably wondering what "CRS" stands for... It means "Can't Remember Sh*t"  ;D ;D

I heard that's what you can call them and get away with from a certain age on...

At my age it's still plain "CRS", heh heh  ;)

A variation of "CRS" is "CRI" or Cranial, Rectal, Inversion.   This can be used to explain why you've landed on the wrong runway or landed gear up among other things--I have only heard of it having NEVER made a mistake myself!!!!!!!!!! ::) ::)

Hahaha good ones! About the gear-up landing then I remember the line: "What's the first thing you do after a gear-up landing: Put the lever in Down-position" :D

heheh.... yeah... that trick works great... until the NTSB report comes out... then it's "woops"!

In the Air Force there is a saying about such things.... they call them "Atta-boys!".  The formula works thusly: 3 "Atta-boys" = 1 "Oh Sh*t!"

LOL

Btw about rescue flying then a more simulator-style 3D game with firefighting could be fantastic fun I think, and a lot better than playing fighterpilot and blowing people up. There's been a series of helicopter rescue games for the pc called Search and Rescue where you fly types of rescue helicopters in missions, quite fun actually, and the helicopters are easier to control than in MSFS that's for sure even thought there are all the controls and hoover-boost, engine rpm management etc.
