Strike Commander Intro Expertly Recreated in DCS Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Sylvester found this very fun Wing Commander-adjacent video to share. DCSWorld PL created a impressive high fidelity version of the Strike Commander introduction in the Digital Combat Simulator engine. It's super sharp and features an authentic reproduction of things like the game's iconic F-16s. Strike Commander has many diehard fans out there and it's cool to see what they're churning out almost thirty years later!
Waiting hopelessly for the remake or sequel of one of the most beloved games - STRIKE COMMANDER - I decided to start by myself. Here it is the intro from the original version (floppy disk, not CD), recreated to the letter in DCS World.

I made skins for Wildcats squadron based on Sudden Death magazine included in the big box and added some from myself.

The clip is one to one recreation of the original scenes using Mission Editor in DCS World. The music and sound effects are from Strike Commander game for nostalgia effect. Big thank you to Origin and Chris Roberts for creating such a great game back in the days!

I think this might be a case where the slick video above is what the original Strike Commander intro felt like in our heads at the time - or through the filter of memory. In reality, this is what it looked like (and even this is an HD upscale!). Quite a difference:
