kct 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. Not to mention he already assured most of the fans that he would NOT be doing a modern sim (although I hope he does have coding that allowed us to implement some features of modern planes more effectively, although I could live with some limitations...).

I had the impression that TK modifies the code with regards to the projects he's working on and AFAIK one reason he has given why he's not doing a modern sim was that modern aircraft with their adavanced avionics and weapons are much more difficult (meaning they demand more time & money) to model. Therefore I doubt that there will be any advances in this field for the time being. Quote
Salamander67 Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Ooops! That's right, it's a F-84F, I didn't know the French ever had them, let alone operated them in the Suez. Now when I think aboout it, I thought the guns were looking a bit misplaced... Quote

Therefore I doubt that there will be any advances in this field for the time being. Not to mention we won't get an even remotely accurate representation of the avionics inside at least half of the fighters currently being flown (or those being flown in the last 10 years) at this moment due to 'national secrets'. Which is still the case today. Edited September 20, 2008 by kct Quote

+Dave Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I dont know about you guys but I am pretty excited about this. Quote
Lexx_Luthor Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I dont know about you guys but I am pretty excited about this. Yea, no SAMs. Quote
+column5 Posted September 22, 2008 Author Posted September 22, 2008 I dont know about you guys but I am pretty excited about this. Every TW release is exciting in its own way. This one brings attention to a little-known conflict, and gives us some planes that we have not had in decent quality. Quote
+Gocad Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I dont know about you guys but I am pretty excited about this. Conflicts of the 1950s! Bring it on! Quote
the test pilot Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 i would like to try it. i wanted to try also WOI. but for me there's no way of buy it from TW store, and, since is not sold on CD/DVD i have to just use the patch for WOE. Quote
eraser_tr Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Why not? lacking a credit card? If you have a checking account, you should be able to get a debit card, it works just the same except it deducts cash from the account instead of giving you a monthly bill to pay. Or is it a bandwidth thing? Quote
GPSpector Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Has there been any news on this Add-On? It's now Summer of 2009 and I don't think I've seen it anywhere yet. Quote
Spinners Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 No news I'm afraid. It makes sense for it to come out after SF2I - and I can't wait for the Meteor F.8 !!!! Quote
+column5 Posted June 20, 2009 Author Posted June 20, 2009 It will be interesting to compare TK's P-51 flight model to that of AvHistory. Quote
Spinners Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 It will be interesting to compare TK's P-51 flight model to that of AvHistory. Yeah, but if he uses all those numbers AFTER the decimal point he'll never finish it! Quote
jomni Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 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. The A-7 has a HUD. Quote
+Brain32 Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 IRC back in Sep 2008 we didn't have TK's late Corsairs Quote
jomni Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 IRC back in Sep 2008 we didn't have TK's late Corsairs LOL! Just realised the post that I'm quoting was written way back in Sep 2008. Quote
