Well, the odds are stacked against it, but who knows, the poll resutls might be influential despite the small sample and unscientific method. If nothing else, its fun to talk about it, share ideas and daydream about the "perfect" sim.

you're right about that - our chances are pretty slim. but picture that for a second:

a sim -- by the people, for the people (that's my ex-yugoslav mindset kicking in.... keep quiet in there, Tito).

no, really, it would be a great feat to pull off something of this magnitude. a precedent in the sim world if i'm not mistaken.

i'd support it 4 sure (heck, i preordered Battlefront's Shock Force - look how that turned out hehe)

btw, i'm proficient in LightWave and 3DsMax so I'd gladly take some workload for free just to see this dream come true

 

best of luck

Hmm, tough calls. I think "moddability" is key to sustaining interest over the long haul. Carriers are a must. I have yet to play a dynamic campaign that did not begin to seem like an endless series of near identical missions. (Sometimes very good near-identical missions.) As someone who is part of a family where having the latest and greatest computer is not a priority, games that can run on a wide variety of machines is a priority. And seat-switching would be great.

 

I think, overall, that a sim that was strong in even a couple of those categories would be a very tempting buy.

Just quoting that so I don't have to re type it.

1. High moddability (What you don't like you can change)

2. Detailed comms and ATC (You feel more "in" the game.)

3. Detailed carrier ops (as 2.)

4. Seat-switching in multi-seat aircraft (That would be a revolutionary feature. If these positions have some real utility (EWO is not only for staring on RWR screen and pressing Z and X buttons) a if they can be crewed in MP)

5. Dynamic campaign (Each replay is different, but bombing Dragon's Jaw bridge for 193rd time gets boring)

6. Story-driven campaign (less replayability, but more fun (at least on first play))

7. Good performance on older systems (Not every one has a ultra modern machine and not everyone wants to pour money into it)

8. Detailed cockpit procedures (Reminds me of a post in other discussion: "So I have control stick in my right hand, throtolles in my left, feet on pedals and a spitfire in rear mirror and you expect me to search for flaps control with mouse held in what? Teeth?")

9. High resolution graphics, terrain and effects (This leads to 95% of development time spend on "looks good" and only 5% on other features.)

If the game gives me most or all of what I want, I could care less about moddability... but it is never bad to have as much as possible exposed for modding other than anti-cheating for multiplayer.

TK's current approach is more than open enough to allow the flexibility that most people want or need.

But as a hardcore fan who needs to see several more features added to the sim to really satisfy my wants, there is never enough moddability.

 

My top three choices are all equally important to me, very hard to rank them.

It is important to maintain scalability.

A great game will run on an old machine as be as fun/easy to play as SFP1 on EASY settings, yet given a modern PC and max settings look as good as LOMAC and be as detailed/realistic as Falcon 4.0.

You have left out several features very important to me

 

A. Good AI, it doesn't have to be the best out there, but it has to be believable: planes that should not dogfight not doing it, wingmen that do their job, groups of planes behaving as a group instead many individuals doing all the same thing, planes that run away if in disadvantage, etc, etc..

 

B. Avionics: making difference between different kind of radars (pulse, continuous wave...), ecm, awacs or ground control, etc

 

With the addition of these 2, my ranking would be:

 

1. A

2. High moddability

3. High resolution graphics, terrain and effects

4. B

5. Detailed cockpit procedures (switchology)

6. Dynamic campaign (less story-driven)

7. Detailed carrier ops

8. Seat-switching in multi-seat aircraft

9. Detailed comms and ATC

10. Story-driven campaign (less dynamic)

11. Good performance on older systems

 

And that's assuming that realistic FM is an obvious feature :umnik2:

9. Story-driven campaign (less dynamic)

10. Detailed cockpit procedures (switchology)

 

I'd be willing to put $50 up for "A" alone... and/or a dynamic campaign editor/ terrian creator/target placer type thingy that is user friendly.* I'd love to see convoys on the move or army units in laager between waypoints rather than killing every freaking comm building in Paran or each individual fuel tank in North Vietnam.

 

 

*User friendly meaning someone as dense as me could use it.

Screw grafix, screw carriers, crew multiseats.

Flight model(including avionics) that forces you to fight your plane realisticaly, AI that fights their plane realisticaly, AI that uses tactics, AI that runs away when in disadvantage, AI that can be suprised (you can sneak at him from blind angle and he never sees you). AI that doesn't want to die.
