Compared to other, a lot more popular games, i guess it's the only way to go
if you wanna see flightsims in the future.

Nope, there are other projects in the pipeline that are more than a
patch for $35.00. I'll just be patient and wait. I didn't like LOMAC
much anyway. Too sterile.

DI's Tornado - 1993
superb manual
Feature packed all (Mission planner, dynamic campaign)
in less than 8 Megs.
Dated graphics by now, but many features and gameplay
unmatched.

Tornado was nice indeed! The bias was in air-to-ground, and that
worked very well. If i remember correctly, the only real shortcomings
i could think at the time were that the intelligence data was
always accurate, and ground vehicles never moved. The other sim i
played at the time was Falcon 3.0, obviously. There were also some
very cool ideas in Tornado that i'd never heard of before, like
tossing (lofting) bombs and planting mines from those nasty
anti-runway crates. I could also steer my LGBs through windows from
20 angels, except if the weather was bad, or some interceptors bugged
me or some SAMs were having an eye on me. Those LGB bomb runs sure
were a thrill, requiring nerves of steel. I'm not sure i had them
most of the time, but abandoned quite a lot of bombs mid air when
harassed by the enemy. Sure i would sound the music and pump chaff,
but usually failed to refrain from evasive manouvering.

I loved the non-textured, detailed ground graphics. I've always
loved vector graphics, and texturemapping and things like that are
just cheap substitutes. The mission planning map was also a proper
vector map, and fantastically high-resolution too.
