Dont be so sensitive there buddy….
When you ask a legitimate question to someone and they respond in an defensive attacking manner……well then, they’re hiding something!!

That being said … I think I got frat kills mixed up with campaign losses. Its campaign loses that ruin your shot at General. I am not for sure where I heard about frat kills.

Some people insist that asking inappropriate blame-questions is harmless and cannot be annoying because the “truth” is important. People like Eric Cartman:roll:.

This is certainly a big day for me. 20 years flying Falcon 4.0 and I still have and maintain the same log book. 20 years of dedication and loving this hobby every single day. Of course big thanks to this community for keeping this sim updated and still the best in my opinion.
Here are some goodies for you… Photos of the Binder edition I received from the team with all their signatures (on this day 20 years ago). I did manage to keep and find one of my beta CDs from 1997 (at one point I had a whole bunch of them. Glad I kept at least one).
And of course here is a little treat for you… One of the original intro videos from the beta days that made us all cringe when we first watched it. Apparently Nascar was used as voice actors! lol
Lets see another 10 years!
JodyThat’s amazing. How did you get a binder edition with signatures from all members of the team? Also, who was on the team? Was it the original software developers from Microprose, or someone else?

Responding in a defensive attacking manner??? How exactly have I done this?? Are we 12 years old here? I answered his question and simply told him if he doesn’t believe me I don’t really care?? If you feel like you were attacked and offended then I suggest you go find your safe space and heal. lol

All Im saying is I have heard that if you get a Frat Kill you cant make General I will look for the resource I never called you out just asking so cool your booties big dog.
The importance to me being that I have some frat kills and I didnt think I would ever make it past Capt but now you might have given me hope however if you edited that way than no hope for me because I have heard what I mentioned before.
Hmmm I think I got frat kills mixed with Campaign losses.
Ha ha ha I am not being sensitive… More so less tolerable to people’s bullshit perhaps. I appreciate this post more so, but let’s be honest your first post was accusatory. And really we don’t need to debate this childish bullshit. I am just saying yay me, 20 years and still going. You don’t show the same appreciation, that’s your choice, time to move on.

I got this from the original MPS team just after the release date. They gave it to me as I was one of their beta testers. I would presume others got them as well? I can’t be the only one left in this group… Am I that old? lol

the real question is:
HOw the hell the Btest was possible with all those CTd’s ?

Many, many broken computers and punching screens…

hey Marvin,
I had been flying Falcon 3.0 for a few years when the community got word of Falcon 4.0 going to be built. Man were we excited!
We waited and waited, years.
Anyway, I thought that Falcon 4.0 started as a Spectrum Holobyte project, and due to difficulties wound up as Microprose. Do you recall
about this? -

about this?Yes you are right… I got on the team specifically for online testing (we had a squadron back then 469th Madhatters) and that was in 1997 and it was MPS. I can’t recall what year that transition happened? That’s some good history there!

Just asking a question.
I do appreciate this I also long ago back sometime in 2001 or 2002 had in my hand the original disk and was reading through the original fat manual but lost all that goodness long ago.
So I appreciate this. -
Please in future advise that I might be triggered and where my safe space is….

We already know where, it’s in the dorm

I recall hearing of the “469th Madhatters” , or reading about you guys. Maybe on a BBS, you remember those I bet! Was it DOS 2? lol. At any rate, Thank you for your service to Falcon 4.0.
Looking at some old papers I found out that we knew about Falcon 4.0 in 1994, which of course would be Spectrum Holobyte coding on it at that time.
