Stunning pics. Was the Damage Modeling updated? I'll have to check the site for updates I guess. Please help. I noticed the scale on the "Radar" in 1 pic was scaled to 4 miles. I remember being able to change the scale a long time ago but I just can not remember the key command and I can not find the reference to it anywhere.

The term "To close for comfort" comes to mind

Wow, is this the RMS Olympic? Looks great. I really like the detail so far.

I really like this Pic. Did you add the Kill Markings yourself or is there a setting I missed? Not sure why the Pic did not copy over but it's in post # 483

I'll admit that I too would like to see what is done with the Medals. I for 1 have 24 confirmed aerial victories out of 43 claims, flown over 15 missions and have been awarded 4 Medal of Honor's. LOL By the way, I do have my setting on "easy peasy" while I try out this Sim to see as much as I can before I turn it up a bit I also noticed that the Ranking needs to be fixed as well. Like with Macklroy, it shows he enlisted as an Lt. but his rank is Sergeant. Seems a bit confusing. I'm not sure if I should salute him or just pat him on the back. Keep 'em coming. Love 'em all.

Me, I'm just always curious about any new news about any new Sim in the works. I am never in favor of rushing any Sim to the shelves before they are done. I've seen that happen too many times and the fans never benefit from it.

Yep, it will be released when it's done. It will be done when they are finished. They will be finished when they say they are.

Is there any new news on Phase 4?

The funniest thing I ever saw was in F-14 Tomcat (IBM DOS - 1988, Activision). I actually tried to see what would happen if I actually tried to attack my own guys. The Sim actually gave me a Medal for the kills (obvious bug) but I also saw a short 3 frame animation of my nice Gold Navy Wings getting ripped off my Uniform and I was demoted.

I like that idea too. I think Red Barron 3D allowed you to Paint your Aircraft as soon as you reached the rank of Captain and I think it too had newspaper articles listing new Aces.

If you have not tried B-17 2: The Mighty Eighth, I think you would have really liked it. You actually get to go from room to room on base. Each room had a purpose, such as in the Briefing Room, you get to watch footage of the area you are about to bomb. If the Office, you could review the 10 profile's of you Crewmen or the profiles of the 120 Crewmen in your Group (if you selected to play with all 12 aircraft). The only downside was that YOU were not a single Crewman, but you can watch or control any of the crewmen and they earned kills based on what they did on their own or if you controlled them. It truly was the most immersive Sim I ever played and graphics were pretty good. The worst part was that it was Microprose's last flight sim and it was taken over by InfoGrames and rushed out before being finished. since then, Infograms changed their name to ATARI (I guess hoping to get new fans based on name recognition).

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.
