[cobrabase]

@skater44321 Do you know how unappreciative you are? bye (blocked)

[khristian49]

I see

[IamtheAlienator]

You have a real talent in casting! I laughed my ass of when you described your no fuel landing at night....

[Fastbikkel]

Well i have to admit, you've got humor! :-) And yes im a child of the 80's, born in 1976.

[francissanfo717]

This is a "certain" video. =p

[HardWarUK]

If you into Flight Sims check out this TV show!

watch?v=K39D0dTXA2E

[routhoula]

i started from falcon 3.0 and i think i was 3 or 4 years old

[HardWarUK]

It might have had Hasbro on the loading screen, but it was another MIcroprose classic through and through, going all the way back to Silent Service and Gunship for the Commodore 64 in the 80's!!!

[rolandhensle24]

This video went viral on Ottawa

[Tunechi241]

Falcon 4 as always been the best and is still the best (Falcon BMS today) !

[perplexedmoth]

lol dude, this is great review. you're spot on.

[HomeFries94]

So does the release of BMS 4.32 bump Falcon to the top of the list?

Semper Viper!

[LupusAries]

Thanks for giving us this video and as you said "....they love their vipers and nothing will bend their ways!" BMS just came out some weeks ago.

Here´s to the the next thirteen years of Falcon 4.0!

[lb8068]

So, CB, where would LOMAC be in on the list in comparison to this; assuming it's even ON the list at all?

[cobrabase]

@lb8068

well... you'll have to see the whole list. Working on the next now.

[antred11]

Man, Falcon 4.0 ... I bought the game BEFORE I actually bought my first PC. By the time I finally got my computer I'd read the manual front to back twice.

[t1000eg]

@antred11 hahaha

[lb8068]

@antred11 Wow. That's crazy man.

[lb8068]

@antred11 Wow. That's crazy man.

[max200184]

Yeahh!!! good movie, and excelent game Falcon Rock!!!!

[LordLotion]

Anyway, Rantanplan: YOU ARE THE MAN! Please continue your work, I beg you. each time I watch your reviews (and boy do I watch them...) it´s like a time trip that sends chills down my spine!

My tips: 1. Pls buy a nice Saitek X52 Pro. It will survive eternity. It´s goo, so so good.

2. Pls consider taking Jane´s series into your list. Remember Jane´s US Navy fighters? =)

Only the best and much love to you, buddy!

[LordLotion]

I - Love - Your - Reviews!!!! I will go insane if you dont come up with 4, 3, 2 & 1. Showed your clips to all my friends as we laughed our azzs off to hear some one going through the same story as we did! I am 35 now and started my flight sim career with Microprose Gunship on my C64! Nowadays I am to be found in the dcs A10-c cockpit.... it´s like a dream come true. Oooooh ya.....

[rantanplan178]

@cobrabase

dude, where are number 4, 3, 2 and 1. i really want to see them. your reviews are great man. the awesomeness factor must be around 8 or 9. 10 is as awesome as the iron eagle movie and 1 is as awesome as the marriage of queen elizabeth, just to show the full range of this scale.

[cobrabase]

@rantanplan178

You guys give me ideas as to how to fix the weird shit going on with my g940 logitech HOTAS and I'll do it.

[rantanplan178]

@cobrabase

What's up with you saitech X-50 that you love so much as you told in your Thrustmaster A-10 Hotas "review"?

Sorry to hear your problems with the g940. I'd really hoped it would be the next "must have" stick.

[123backinyerface]

Iron Eagle was the Shit!

I remember playing F-15 Strike Eagle with Queen playing on the headphones, and being late for school every morning.

[spacedigger]

I admit seeing that movie... like a million times!

[cobrabase]

@spacedigger

"Chappy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"



[ramivei]

@spacedigger

me 2 and I never played the Original Falcon 4 I've been born in 92 so I started playing sims around 14 years old and started from IL2 but nowdays I play both Open Falcon and IL2.

thanks for the vid cobrabase!

[Jkun]

are there any flight sims with a detailed ''in-game'' tutorial on how to work the interface of an airplane?

I'm one of those players that would just like to fly for the heck of it. So Im not really waiting for that much text reading >.>

If there is one anyone could reccomend it would be greatly appriciated!

~Jkun~

[cobrabase]

@Jkun

DCS A-10C

DCS Black Shark.

Check my page. I have made a few for both. Especially the start up sequences on black shark.

[Jkun]

@cobrabase

I found one video about the first mission of black shark, but all I see you do in the first couple of seconds is flip switches and what not. (if I dont quite understand what all that does, then its already a step too far for me)

Besides, Im not sure how well ill pick up things while watching instruction/tutorial video's.

Since Im not really flipping them myself and all.

Isn't there a sim with an ingame tutorial?

(It would help a lot of people get into it :P )

~Jkun~

[cobrabase]

@Jkun

You must work hand in hand with the 300-800 page manual TOGETHER with the tutorials included in the sim and the one's we post.

[Jkun]

@cobrabase

D:

It would help so many people get into flight sims if someone makes a sim with an extensive in-game tutorial. =/

I really dont have the time or energy to spend in doing that much work for something Im not about to make my life about.

Something like that Id rather spend on learning a new language or something >.<;;

Thank you for taking the trouble, but I think I wont be able to enjoy flying for a while ^^;;

~Jkun~

[killerneo100]

is that your voice?

[cobrabase]

@killerneo100

Yes.

[JonisKanonis]

Where is number 4 then?

[cobrabase]

@JonisKanonis

In a few weeks actually! Stay tuned!

[cobrabase]

@JonisKanonis

I have accepted that the closer I get to #1 the more flamings I'm going to get. By the time I GET to #1 I'll have you all mailing bombs to me.

[JonisKanonis]

@cobrabase Nah it will be fine, it's your videos and your opinions...who am I kidding...we will bash you to internet hell!!!

[cobrabase]

@JonisKanonis

[Warbirdguy1]

THIS. IS. MY. FAVORITE. BEST. FLIGHT. SIM. EVER.

[pureblue420]

I love this series, great job man!

[cobrabase]

@pureblue420

I gotta finish it this year!!!!!

[christiancphoenix1]

who's number 1 allied force?



[cobrabase]

@christiancphoenix1

Nope.... you'll have to wait. :)

[Yodan82]

Thanks for sharing these vids. I'm looking forward to see your next video! My first game on the pc was Jane's USNF. That game gave me a permanent addiction to flightsims. And now I am just wondering why the hell I have never played Falcon 4.0... !!??

If Iron Eagle was not that cheesy It might have inspired me too.

[cobrabase]

LOL!

I need to get more time before I do the next one. Moving at a snails pace!

[element1108]

lol 1:42 hilarious!

[cobrabase]

@element1108

My favorite part too man.

[GMaust]

btw, that transformers xbox has hasbro and i had the same reaction you did..

[GMaust]

hasbro surprised me yet again... after seeing this im shocked... loved the editing to depict that... sounds like a cool game...

Transformers: War for Cybertron was a xbox 360 game that didnt look good in previews.. now its like the only game i play....

Ill admit, i liked flight sims but im a console man... maybe a child of the 90's and milleneum can aspire to such flight sim dedication some day... until then im a xbox dude...

sweet vid tho i wish i had this game it looks uber uber real..

[Empty89037]

LOL thanks for sharing.
