Wow. Amazing detail.

Not much info other than that, really. I heard they're shooting for an "end of year" release, but as always that's not guaranteed by any means. It comes when it comes.

He's had nothing really to do with any of these games in a long time. Maybe the first Splinter Cell was the last? Don't recall.

Yes, of course the difference is unlike movies, which make more or less equal amounts their first 3 days, then little during the week, then more again (at around 50%) the 3 days of the next weeked, I'll bet MS makes 70% of their total the first day, and the sales will sharply taper off in the coming days as a lot of people who would get it already did the first day.

Runways aren't easy targets. I'm not sure how the game figures out if it's destroyed or not.

I take it you mean other than the F6 view?

I never got BoB2, but I have the others. Well, almost. I've still only got OFF1 installed. Haven't had the chance to do OFF2 yet, but that's because I've flown it so little. I've spent a lot more time in FE than in OFF just because I know someone with FE and we fly it MP. Solo-wise I've done about the same with both.

For WWII, I have Il-2 and CFS3 installed, but again I never fly either offline, just MP. Since the guy I flew CFS3 with no longer has it installed, it means I've not touched it in months. When I fly props, it's Il-2, but it's not frequent.

I'm hoping this is more realistic than Over G Fighters and not less so, like Ace Combat. A big name product along the lines of the Jane's Fighter Anthology series would be nice...but I'm probably hoping for nothing.

Ok, folks, here's the forum for the space sims that aren't Star Wars or Star Trek.

Bring in your Orbiter stuff and your other little-known space sims that are crying out for recognition.

Wow, they put a lot of effort into the product description there.

Their president was on the Daily Show last night.

It's a poor country, and they can't afford more than upgrades really. However, to have nothing in a region not known for its stability isn't wise either.

Il-2:46 has FB, Aces Expansion, Pacific Fighters, Pe-2, Sturmoviks over Manchuria, and 1946 all together. Everything ever done for the series in a single install, with the exception of patching it to 4.08 after install. I've seen it for as low as $10 on sale now.

The smug in that city is too thick anyway. The Marines should be happy to give it a wide berth, it's bad for your health.

Hella cool--irritating way of saying you like something.

Black Shark will be coming out sometime, and that's a dedicated Ka-50 sim. However, no real idea WHEN it's coming out.

Other than that, you can fly one in Armed Assault, but it's not a helo sim. It's an infantry sim with vehicles like the Ka-50 in it.

EECH is definitely the best for flying the Hokum available now.

Being underpowered was a chronic problem for almost all jets until the 60s, especially ones that weren't fighters.

Got them all, getting the next ones for both WWI and (relatively) modern day.

Unlike the "other" groups, he's not only the only one with a regular release schedule, but it's also the only flight sim being made in the USA.

Be sure.

It won't be too far in the future, patience is all that's required.

Glad to hear it. NP is nothing short of a great company all around.

Cool! Congrats to you, no small feat there.

Ok, cool. With MP AI I might be able to convince some people to get it.

Less distance. HL2 came out 6 years after HL1. Halo 3 is I think 4 years after Halo, and 2 after Halo 2?

We have an SF section for things like Star Trek. While orbiter is less "fiction" and more "science", it still fits close enough.

I'm not sure why they put twin outward-canted tails on this F-5, but I know why it was done on the F/A-18--high AOA yaw control.

The LERXs on the Hornet increased lift and agility, but the resulting vortices would impact the tail at high AOA and nullify its control. By canting them outward, they were brought outside the path of the vortices and regained yaw stability.

This F-5 has no real LERXs that I can see. Also, being so small it doesn't need twin tails, a single tail would suffice.

I'd say it has more to do with the visual impact than anything else. It works, doesn't mess it up, and LOOKS like they did something major to it.

One major point to note, though...it's all in English.
