Beware: Windows only. I know, it should be obvious, but it's been a long time since a large company dumped an .exe onto my downloads folder without even checkin

I'll stick with X-Plane. It works on all major platforms and it's an awesome simulator. I miss the ease of use of the old MS-FS, though.

- Mythbusters 15y agoWindows only?!!! What did you expect from Microsoft? I don't see why it would spend time developing game for another platform and then give it awayt for free.
- Ogre 15y agoIs it obvious? My very first paid programming job was on a Mac (and Windows) game published by Microsoft. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_Combat_series http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_Combat_series On the other hand, it's possible that the second one of those was the last Mac game published by Microsoft as well.
- lutorm 15y agoDude, you worked on Close Combat? That's one of my all time favorite games. To this day, I still fire up "A Bridge Too Far" sometimes when I'm isolated with my laptop in some hotel room. :)
- Ogre 15y agoThat's great! Unless you're playing it online you're not really hitting my code, I did the networking for both. CC2 had a completely rewritten network layer, one of the very few client-server RTS's I know of. I left part way through development of #2, but my understanding is they kept my network code all the way through #5.
