Recommended Posts

Work in progress. Please don't give TK any grief. :) Things are subject to change but a little preview can't hurt. I can't answer any questions. Just enjoy.

Now that SF2 will have a mission editor that I can set up everything like in other sims, I don't think I will ever bother playing another flight simulator!

While the mission editor is a very big deal to me, there have been "major tangible game changes" with almost every release.

WoI had some major changes that impacted gameplay greatly - AI fixes and addition of terrain effects on radar and missiles.

The SF2 series took the ball from WoI and added accurate variants of major flyable aircraft covering equipment carried, exterior 3d models, and best of all, accurate unique 3d cockpits reflecting all of these variants. I won't necessarily be using a mission editor every time I play, but I see the cockpit interior almost 100% of the time I am playing. If I had to pick between the two, I would have chosen the cockpits given that mission files are only text files and two user made editors already exist.

 

Again, I am very excited about the idea of the stock game having a built in editor, but my perspective on where it ranks versus other "major tangible game changes" is just a bit different than yours.

 

Once the mission editor is debugged and working well, the game will be missing only one major component compared to Jane's Fighters Anthology: multiplayer. Unfortunately, TK has made it all too clear that his current business model will never be able to afford it, and as long as he is doing well, why should he take the risk of changing his business model to support a very small niche market. The closing of Fighter Ace leaves only Warbirds and Aces High 2 as the only MMOG which are dedicated flight sims. Aces High still has a very strong user base that just grew a bit with the addition of some Fighter Ace veterans, but Warbirds has a dwindling community. It wouldn't surprise me if Warbirds shut down completely any given month. As the flight sims shut down, World of Warcraft continues to rake in money at an amazing rate. I wish the flight sim community could attract that kind of user base. Then, the games would be doing much better. However, ArmA 2, Steel Beasts Pro PE, and the Black Shark DCS series have given me hope that the type of games I want will continue to exist via funding for real military simulators.

Land base?

 

Double boo-yeah!

 

I almost always divert to the nearest base to the front, as I like to take off, and land on most missions, if real life gives

me the time.

 

To have the hand-off, approach and landing instructions there is gonna be very nice.

 

I've not tinkered with the 3rd party, out of the sim ones, so look forward to an in-game editor...

Awesome!!

 

I like that mission editor a lot.

 

Here's a question - will the home base selection allow for a carrier?

 

:grin:
