+Wrench Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Well, I'm impressed, and a little depressed...I've done most of them birds already!! Gotta admit, that MiG-15 looks most impressive (insert Vader voice)...and the Mustang!!! Meteor, in all its Mid-East variants!!!! Very nice!!! Wonder if they'll come with cockpits????

Erwin_Hans Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 I just want to see some red side sim....... Or in a red side aircraft Quote
kesegy Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 so, is this going to be a new game or an expansion to woi? Quote
+Soulfreak Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 (edited) i think that will be an add on for woi... btw a Avia S.199 would be nice... Edited September 19, 2008 by Soulfreak Quote
+Gocad Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Hey, that looks like a reason to get WOI after all... Quote
+MigBuster Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Interesting - C3 skytrain, De Hav Vampire, - and what looks that a French F-84F? - so thatll be a WOI add on then! Quote
+whiteknight06604 Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 everything is impressive as usual,I just wish there was at least one pic of somthing thats not already available.don't get me wrong I'm gonna get it I just hope that some new ground and air targets will come along with it. Quote

Well, as far as I am concerned there are nothing but new planes /air targets in these pics. After all, I do believe that there are plenty of WoX customers who have never ventured into the realm of 3rd party addons. Quote
+wilco Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Nice, looks like a must-have to me! :yes: Quote
+DWCAce Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Hmm, looks like i found a destination for the remainder of my bonus check! :) Quote
HUNACE Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 looking good i hope they are flyable :yes: Quote
+column5 Posted September 19, 2008 Author Posted September 19, 2008 This is total speculation on my part with no info from TW to back it up, but IMO this expansion almost guarantees that Korea will be the setting of the next full game. TK will only need the F-80, F-84 and F-86 plus any Navy aircraft he decides to do, and he already has an unreleased Skyraider. Quote

Salamander67 Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Interesting - C3 skytrain, De Hav Vampire, - and what looks that a French F-84F? - so thatll be a WOI add on then! The French F-84F is a Dassault Mystére IV, it was the main Armée de l'Air-fighter before the Mirage and used in quite large numbers, although mainly in France, which is why it's quite unkwon today outside France, Israel and India (the operators back in the days). The Israeli Mystére's and Ouragans (an earlier straight wing French fighter) did get a few kills in -56, and shone in the AG-role in -67 when they wrecked havoc over the retreating Egyptian army. So far I haven't seen them in any sims, so it would be nice to see them in a sim. Quote
+column5 Posted September 19, 2008 Author Posted September 19, 2008 The French flew the F-84F. the one that appears on the little picture on frontpage of the site? Yes. TK showed some larger pics of it a couple of years ago. Quote

So far I haven't seen them in any sims, so it would be nice to see them in a sim. Already looked up the Dassault Mysteres (IV) but they do not match the picture, I can only make it an F-84. Quote
+column5 Posted September 19, 2008 Author Posted September 19, 2008 Already looked up the Dassault Mysteres (IV) but they do not match the picture, I can only make it an F-84. It is an F-84F. And it is accurate--the French flew them and they were deployed during the Suez Crisis. Quote
+Dave Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 It is an F-84F. And it is accurate--the French flew them and they were deployed during the Suez Crisis. To quantify what C5 said IT IS an F-84F. Quote

TK will only need the F-80, F-84 and F-86 plus any Navy aircraft he decides to do, and he already has an unreleased Skyraider. Plus the Mustang, Meteor & C-47 open the possibility of a WW2 sim in the future... Quote
Lexx_Luthor Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Plus the Mustang, Meteor & C-47 open the possibility of a WW2 sim in the future... Nope. The Sims already have that all sewn up. Quote
Lexx_Luthor Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Since TK went all HUD on us, I've been afraid he was going to drop the ball. But it looks like he's still bouncing it. Quote
+column5 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Posted September 20, 2008 WOI has the Mirage III, Nesher, Kfir, Ahit and Kurnass, none of which have a HUD. In fact the only planes TK has modeled with a HUD are the F-15, F-16, A-10 and Harriers. That's 4 (6 if you count all Harrier variants) out of about 38 total flyables if you count all sims released to date plus the Suez planes. Just to put it in perspective. I prefer the 1960s and 70s era, but I'm glad we're getting this 1950s plane set as it helps fill in a lot of gaps. Quote
