Supreme Cmdr Posted August 12, 2003 Report Posted August 12, 2003 If you haven't yet, check these out. Especially this recent one.
Bandus Posted August 12, 2003 Report Posted August 12, 2003 I've been following the development of this game about a year now. I can't wait till this hit shelves. I've already preordered a copy. This game looks really sweet.
Kevin Trotter Posted August 12, 2003 Report Posted August 12, 2003 My type of game. However why so few flyable NATO aircraft? I'd love to be a Falcon driver.

Eclipse Posted August 12, 2003 Report Posted August 12, 2003 it does look interesting though somewhat odd that they have 3 flyable versions of the Mig 29 and relatively few other nato craft. It would seem that they would make the nato Mig 29's nonflyable and add in a replacement for Nato,
Commander Elio Jason Posted August 12, 2003 Report Posted August 12, 2003 this game looks cool and i've constantly seen it in PC Gamer. stinks they don't have the TomCat available. that fighter was always my fav.
Supreme Cmdr Posted August 12, 2003 Author Report Posted August 12, 2003 To do those crafts, you need to model their flight dynamics and avionics, just like you do the ones that are flyable. Its a LOT of work. Anyway, there are going to be add-ons for the Falcon and two versions of the Harrier, I'm told.
Kevin Trotter Posted August 12, 2003 Report Posted August 12, 2003 Don't matter what's flyable though as I said earlier I'd love to be a Falcon driver, I am so going to buy this game! I'm still playing Top Gun: Hornets Nest and would like to add some new air combat games. I open to suggestions (hint, hint). Also I'm thinking of getting a new joystick for flight games. I'm currently using a low end Microsoft Sidewinder (USB plug and play, no software) and am considering a Saitek Cyborg any thoughts?
Spindoktor Posted August 12, 2003 Report Posted August 12, 2003 Look at the back of your IL-2 manual. Lock On, available spring 2002. Heh.

The Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold has rudder control and a heavy base with a small footprint. The hand rest can be configured for either left or right-handed play. And the head can also be adjusted (unfortunately, though, the wrench attached to the base doesn't fit all the tightening screws). Make sure you get the USB version. The joystick comes with software but I've never needed it.
Spindoktor Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 Delayed until at least December Bummer. Oh well, all in the name of making a better game I suppose.

Mano Faber Posted September 7, 2003 Report Posted September 7, 2003 Besides the BC series this is one of the few games i'm really looking forward too.
Wolferz Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 I have always been a wannabe bomber driver. I thought B-17 Flying Fortress II The Mighty Eigth was going to fill that void. it came so close Too bad the boneheaded publisher neutered it before it was ready, just to make a quick buck.But I have to admit they did manage a reasonable facsimile of a Norden Bombsight. but it still idn't make up for the plethora of blatant bugs and the lack of promised features. If these new flight sims don't have a B-1 or B-2 stealth *Yawn* they can keep them. I have Falcon4.0, it Didn't impress me.
Mano Faber Posted October 2, 2003 Report Posted October 2, 2003 Did anyone check the LO-MAC demo yet? I'm dowloading it now. It's 125MB http://www.lo-mac.com/ [ 10-02-2003, 01:37 PM: Message edited by: Mano Faber ]
Bandus Posted October 2, 2003 Report Posted October 2, 2003 I did. The graphics are very very nice. On the high realism settings the game is REALLY hard which is cool.
Mano Faber Posted October 2, 2003 Report Posted October 2, 2003 Cool stuff. Tried the A-10 and got shot to pieces by the zoo. The game is more demanding than i thought on my XP2600 didn't run that well. Not sure maybe i already need an 8x AGP card to replace my ti4200. hmmmm.
GREG MILLER Posted October 2, 2003 Report Posted October 2, 2003 Mano, You may need more ram. The game calls for 256megs of Ram, which you have. Keep in mind though WinXP is eating over 128megs of it, leaving you with less than half. I suggest going to either 512 megs, or even a Gig. I'll D'load the Demo myself and let you know if I faired any better with my Gig or Ram.
Mano Faber Posted October 3, 2003 Report Posted October 3, 2003 Thanks , but it seems my profile doesn't match by beta ptrofile. Will update this tonite. Got a XP2600+, ASUS 7X-X board and 512MB.
