Similator within a simulator

I have two questions
What simulator do you think is the most fun, and better music?
Which mission in WCP simulator is the hardest for you? Mine is the attack waves of fighters and a corvette at each nav point in 10 minutes.
 
The WC2 simulator - ie., WC Academy. Of course, if you're gonna insist that it has to be built into the game, then I guess I'd have to say the WCP simulator

As for the missions, it's really hard to say. I haven't even tried most of the WCP simulator missions...

Well, since the topic is simulator within a simulator, I'll have to go with WCP. The WC1 was a clever idea, but it was basically just an arcade game, sort of Galaga via the WC engine. WCP has missions definite goals, etc. The first few are simple, but if you've never played a space sim and/or WC game before they could be useful. As for the hardest, The time limit one probably took me the longest of any of them.
 
Yes, but you have to admit the WC1 sim was quite original at the time. That`s why I enjoyed it so much. And, of course, the music... Ah! definitely my favorite!

I enjoyed the original Wing Commander's simulator, but that music could get annoying after a while. The Prophecy simulator is my favorite. I wonder when someone will mention Wing Commander III's simulator...

I like Prophecy's just for that voice. "AIM YOUR SHIP AT THE WHITE CROSS! GOD COMMANDS YOU!"

Oh dear... WC:p's was amazing, with GREAT music... I really like taking down the Midway listening to 'Darwin Was Right'... ~hehehe~

But I have to admit, the WC III and WC I sims were great too, since they gave me an opportunity to get used to the new flight engine.

As for training missions, who can resist:

"Well, Blair, I know you've always wanted to take a shot at me, so here's your chance. I've modified our ship's guns to fire non-lethal blasts....."

Zero: "Hey, Maestro... Uhh... If you DIE, can we pick through your stuff before we head back to Sol?"

Maestro: "You can burn in Hell."

GOOD. NOW FLY TO NAV 2. IT'S A BIT FURTHER AWAY, SO YOU MAY WANT TO USE YOUR AFTERBURNERS BY PRESSING THE TAB KEY.
*beep*
NOW POINT YOUR SHIP AT THE BUOY.
GOOD.

I liked the mission in Prophecy where you had a time limit to clear all the way points. You had to be precise and fast to get through it.

Sorry for going somewhat Off Topic, but this reminded me of something. Did anyone else here play Jane's AH-64D Longbow? The simulator in that game is by far one of the most traumatic experiences in my life. Sometimes when I'm lying in bed at night I can still hear the instructor yelling at me.

Then I guess you have to see the doctor.

My favorites were WC3 and WCP sims.

Time limits add a nice element to a mission, which is why I liked the mission I mentioned.
Q, you still haven't tried them?

Non, I didn't. I'm not that much of a pilot, and I actually find the (later) sim missions to be tougher than the game. And of course, there's the little detail that I can't stand "kill as much as you can within ten minutes" missions. I like missions which actually have a proper objective.
 
Q: Think of it more as a 'Defend this NAV point for ten minutes so that the (Midway) can get into position and do something useful...' mission.

But I like the one where the Confed ships show up if you kill enough.

Hey... Ever get Maestro to stick around longer than Zero? ~hehehe~

Ever attack your wingmates on those ones? ~hehehehehehehehe~ Free kills.


Try it in a Vampire. ~nods~

Heh, heh, never tried 'killing' wingmates before... I've managed to get Maverick in some of those. I love the "Cats, Bugs, whatever. You all die the same."
 
If you've gotten Maverick in the alien gauntlet, you're doing alright.

Q, isn't defending the Midway a proper enough objective?

Defending the Midway? Why, what kind of objective is that?
