Came across this when I looking for the X-plane add on

Heres what Alien80 has to too say about the game on his yourtube page.

TheAlien80 — 25 May 2010 —

" This video shows a demo of the freeware indie space combat game called Military

Interface for Space Combat (M.I.S.C.). The game was developed by Martin Löhlein, Thomas Kröll and Daniel Berger, and released in 1999. As the developers said themselves, the game is a garage project. So it's far from perfect,

but still has amazing features. I decided to upload this video since there's almost no information about this game:

its website went down years ago, and one screenshot is all there is around. I hope people will notice this game and

give it a try. It can be downloaded from several (mostly German) sites.

You may notice some framerate and repeating sound issues which are due to 1) the high CPU load imposed by the screen recording program that was used to record the video, and 2) the fact that I recorded it on an old laptop.

Note on this demo: most of the ships you see are made invulnerable which is why ships fire at eachother for so long without anything being destroyed.

MISC is an amazing space combat simulation game despite its outdated look. A few of its features are: massive space fights, capturing alien ships and using their components to improve one's own ship, giving commands to other ships, and Newtonian vs Air combat flight model. More features are described in the video. Also the sound effects (the pseudo-surround) and the destruction models are very nice.

I remember downloading this game years ago when I was using a Win 98 system and it blew me away! The dogfights are epic.

Getting the game to run on a modern system can be difficult. This video was made using a Win 98SE install

(with DX 7) on Virtual PC 2007 on a Win XP host. MISC did not run for me using XP's compatibility options.

I briefly tried running it on Win 7 using the following compatibility options:

- Windows 95 compatible

- Disable display scaling on high DPI settings

The game ran but with no sound. I didn't have time to test it further.

System requirements (according to the game's help pages):

- Pentium 133+ MHz recommended

- 32 MB RAM

- Windows 95/98, DirectX 6.0

- Graphics 640×480 (256/32768/65536 colors)

- Sound 16 channels, 16 Bit Stereo, up to 44100 Hz

- Keyboard, Mouse, Joystick (Sidewinder 3D recommended)

Note: a joystick is HIGHLY recommended, since the game is virtually unplayable with keyboard. I don't have a joystick

anymore, and I could not get PPJoy with PPMouse to work on Virtual PC (PPMouse works on the host, but the game

doesn't run on the host system). Which is why I decided to record the demo instead of some actual gameplay.

If anyone can get PPMouse to run on a Win 98 install on Virtual PC, please let me know.

As I said, the game can be downloaded from several sites and it's really small (6 MB + 5 Mb sound add-on, ~25 MB

unpacked). Give it a try if you liked the video!

P.S. You may have noticed there is no aiming reticle/lead in the HUD so you have to do the entire aiming yourself

without assistance."

Found a download for the game here but have had no luck in downloading it,some one might know of a better site for it.
