Remembering The Old Days!

I found this old Pilot's Manual and it brought back good memories of the old days!

Keep the shiny side up and the dirty side down!

Now that is awesome

Nothing beats a good manual!

Heavy Bombers & Jets was the first payware anything that I ever bought for flight simulation. I still have the box, CD, & manual all in like new condition. Even found an extra CD in a bargain bin years ago, so it's got a back-up CD in the box as well.

I may never be able to use it again, but also have no intentions of getting rid of it. It's a nostalgia thing.

I did have the B-29 still looking good and flying in FSX, but the jump to P3D finally put an end to her run.

You let it fall into enemy hands?

Of the two early era Shockwaves/A2A aircraft I would love to see re-done to today's standards, one of them is the Zero from the Fighters.

I miss those days of a physical box,software on optical media or micro-diskette (s) and a printed manual.
It would be nice if A2ASimulations could offer their software add ons on CD or DVD again.
I enjoyed the artwork too.
That would be an interesting Poll.

I've mused at times whether a bound reprint of, say the P-51D, historic training and operating manuals would have a market.

Only on e-bay, Skycat. The competition might be fierce! A nicely done reprint with a quality binding would absolutely tempt me!

Occasionally I do see the old software from Shockwave Productions (Now A2ASimulations) on ebay also on Amazon too
Today I saw their earliest title Firepower on ebay looking through a search for Lot of PC Games.Also on Amazon too.
I can also find the boxed Wings of Power Heavy Bombers and Jets,Wings of Power II WWII Fighters,Aircraft Powerpack Aircraft Powerpack 2 and Battle of Britain Wings of Victory II occasionally too though they sometimes are either hard to find now or are fetching high prices
In fact I see all of them there as I am writing this.
Looking at Amazon jeez I see two new boxes of Firepower selling for around $200 USD
