Title: Tornado Command and Staff College (TCSC)
Post by: Frankie on December 01, 2019, 02:18:16 PM

A blast from the past. In 1995, Basil Copeland, Eric Joiner, and Heinz Bernd Eggenstein wrote a Tornado strategy guide as a Win3.1(!) WinHelp file. The file embedded with pictures and tables (2.6MB zipped!) detailed many aspects of Tornado strategy and tactics. See here (http://www.gamers.org/pub/archives/cactus/hitech-sim/maillist/volume002/issue081) for Heinz's post on the Hitech Simulation Mailing List.

Its contents remain a classic. What I did in March 2016 was to convert the Winhelp content, which cannot be opened in Windows 10, into HTML. Here is the link to one of the best strategy guides ever written for any DOS flight simulator. http://www.frankiekam.com/tornado/tcsc/tcsc.html

A salute to Basil Copeland, Eric Joiner, and Heinz Bernd Eggenstein. Wherever you guys are now.

Cheers

Any chance to get the TSCS stuff? Seems like your site is partially down. I'm back in Tornado, flying the campaigns. (Though I can't seem to get a higher rank... still after 40 hrs I'm just a F/O.

Hi Tertius_Oculus

Download the website contents as a single 290Mb zip file from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SaHwcxYr8Kz_fdIxDHrrAm-S4f6_8suz/view?usp=sharing

Look for the home.html which is the parent folder. Click on it and now, you have the whole offline website, running on your web browser! Even though you are not connected to the Internet. The TCSC content will be in there, in all its glory.

If anyone is reading this and would like to host my Tornado website for me, please be my guest.

Regards
