....I think your memory is playing tricks. The Decathlon I remember in FUI was the same one in your shots. I don't think there ever was a biplane version. ???

Sorry Doug...!
Just peered at the case through my dusty bi-focals....
It's a Pitts S-2A, bi-plane.... Roll Eyes

...!
By the way...
Has anyone managed to get this "DOS" version of FU 1 to work with "modern, Windows" computer set-ups, 'cos I can't.
I get "Page Errors" in memory... Cry

...!

Cheers...

OK, I thought so. Wink

DOS is & always was a complete mystery to me. I never got it to work in Win 3.1. That's why it's sitting unused in a drawer somewhere & I purchased the Win95 version. (Discovered hiding in the bargain bucket in my local software store for the huge sum of £3.99 .) Of course, this was some years ago. Grin

What do you reckon...?
I've resisted having a shave for a few days, (the rugged look), pulled my tummy in, got the really hard look, and donned my "shades", as is customary.... Wink

...!
So...
Do I look like a really cool character in my new Decathlon, ready to pull the birds... 8)...?
(...or not..)... Cry

You obviously have good taste. Wink

I found the UI a tad gimmicky but it was OK when you got used to it. I liked the onboard video & screenshot functions. Also when you hit the "Angels" button to reset after a prang. Forget exactly which key. Wink

I would simply call it a Coke machine - but then - I'm just a simple old-fashioned Brit. LOL Grin
