Zephyr Net

Heck yes, and look how much more popular FA is as a result of it! He has done a magnificient job, and to think he almost gave up on the FA section!

Zephyr deserves all our thanks as he has in a way introduced many of us to the FA comunity as well as FA. I nkow personaly I almost threw alway FA after a while I got bored with it but then stumbled onto FARC. I had the game sence 1998 and only in 2000 I found out about the toolkit.

For all your FA needs and Game Remod 6 visit

O.I.C.... Well thats no surprise... considering! LMAO!! hehe

(just incase you are uncertain Cent, this is just a well meaning little poke in the ribs! )

I know, I'm digging up an old thread, but I found this to be rather amusing how back in 2003, everyone was talking about the end of the line for FA. Yet, here we are another 14 years later.

No it died a long time ago... whats here is the flotsam and jetsam.

FA Futures/FA-2 is Still Being Worked On and Will Be Released...

Now it is 2021.

I just want to share with you all that I have lately been receiving e-mails from fans telling me that they are 'rediscovering' Fighters Anthology and are enjoying all the work we have been doing all these years.

What other computer gaming community can say that ?

Here is one excerpt:


Here is another:


Even though they are talking to me in these messages, I know they really mean all of us who have contributed over the years. I could not have done what I have without the help of the other developers and modders, past and present. This is a team effort. Even though we can be our own worse critics, I believe we can all take pride in the work we have done and share in the joy we bring to others.

Well done team !!

Thumbs Up, Zephyr!

Best Regards,
Pappy

It is year 2021, I have been a member of FA community since I was a young teen (late 90s). Now here it is, as you mentioned, 2021. FA still is a truly shining gem simulation for all of us. There is no sim that replace nor do exactly what FA do!

Posting here again after a very long time bought so much of nostalgic memories. The style here reminded me so much of 90s when using Window 95 / 98 / Me before moving to Window XP. (I went through 95 / 98 / Me / XP / Vista (that was purely nightmare!) / 7 / 10 (I skipped 8 and 8.1).

I remembered the old days when I used ICQ with custom skins while self teaching how to use Window 95 before moving to 98. That was a huge time for me back there.

It is amazing to see everyone still being here! I am going to blow the dusts out of FA disc and start flying FA with mods / libs again soon!

I currently play a game known as "War Thunder", due to the flexibility of keyboard and mouse option. That way I can play it when I am at the café or at anywhere outside my home. That way I can play it casually. However, when I am back home, I can use my trusty joystick and throttle mini-HOTAS for any simulations / games.

If FA ever include keyboard + mouse control, it would make it very convenience to play when going outside of home. However, it would not give us an immersive experience and the nostalgic experiences though. However, including more modern options to FA is still win-win though.

I am doing great, thank you, sir!

It is great to see you again too! It is amazing that everyone is still active with Jane's Fighter Anthology!

Let's be honest, even with my current sims / games I have now, still there is nothing that match the legendary FA and the features within it.

I miss the quick mission, mission maker, the very GUI with 'clicking' sounds (I could feel the clicking when I have a speaker on), the reference, etc.

The sims such as IL-2 series, Strike fighters series (That sims are way too simple), especially War Thunder still doesn't offer the great experiences like Jane's series sim offered.

For example, when I played Jane's WWII fighter along with Jane's FA during the young age, their GUI, virtual museum, mission creator, and another features gave me a mind-blown experiences. No other WWII sim have that features.

Why not come back? The game can be played on modern computers (well, that's what everyone keeps telling me).

I've created several new campaigns over the years. Check out my website for more info. Just google search 'usnraptor', download the latest Playset, and follow the simple directions.

USNRaptor,

That is a great idea! I am going to check Playset lib. I look forward to it. I have many libs to catch up and play with. I look forward to it.

Yes indeed FA actually runs with more stability in Win10 than it did in even XP! I just dont know if you can build libs in Win10 (I have not tried it)...

You can't, the FATK doesn't work on W10.
So what I do is run VMWARE PLAYER and do a WINXP VM and voila.

You can copy & paste back and forth between the VM and W10 so I build the LIBs there, transfer to W10, fly, rinse, repeat.
