I think the confusion with FE and FE2 is while content is roughly the same the way the content will be delivered is different.The content in Strike fighters and Strike Fighters 2 is about the same but the game under the hood is vastly different,everything is changed many "functions were added and it was made even more modable.I think thats what TK is doing in the FE series.While the "engine" that drives FE can work on Vista it's kinda an evilutional dead end,With FE2 it will allow the game to be contiualy developed with future operating systems and grafics updates.I play both FE and the SF series and their is so much thgat has been done with SF2 over SF1 that is not seen in aircraft content or new terrains.the game is made less buggy and seems to play more fluidly on Vista,SF1 worked on Vista but it never felt "right" now with SF2 not only is the game easier to mod it also "feels" beter.I agree with the time between updates and releases is long but TK has limeted resourses so there is not much that can be done.(I still get impatient)so while staying with FE in the near term is ok FE2 is the future it will improve gameplay and stability and add functions that are not visable that will expand the ability to mod the game into the future.I'm sure that the mods will be upwards compatable so work done in the past with a little modification will be usable in the newer version.In Strike fighters 2 the stock stuff is not backwards compatable. oh I wouldn't mind a bone once in a while either...maybe a small ground object pack or some terrain pack....anything.

The plot is a thinly vieled liberal interpertation of western expansion with the added "bonus" of Earth being enviormentaly dead.All they needed was some interstellar polarbears drifting on some asteroids to make it complete.Just for once I'd like to see military carecters in these sorts of movies as the solution rather than the problem.

@sinbad I always love to hear that.

I don't know what I could do other than simple skinning but if I can I'll be happy to help.A korean war mod would be great.

I think I'll have to seperate visual from plot on this one,from a technical standpoint it's probobly the dawn of a new era but from a plot it's the same tired old anti-american anti-military drival you see these days.it looks to me like the big pigheaded humans led by the evil inflexible steriotype military are picking on the "poor 3rd world type" aliens who are nothing more than a thinly vieled streotype natureloving native anmericanesq utopians.it's this sort of stuff that perpatraits the revisionest history thats being shoved down kids throughts nowadays.that being said It's prob the best thing in movies since the whole CGI craze hase hit.

as far as I can tell the next expansion pack will be for FE2.the game will be tweeked to allow it to be modded along the lines of SF@,while alot of the content is the same as FE1 FE2 takes the game forward the same way that SF2 is the future of that series.I'm not entierly thrilled at shelling out money for a game thats seems to be 80-90% something I already own but in the end I will because thats the way the game is being developed.The differences between SF1 and SF2 are great under the hood and I expect that that will be the case with FE2.it's like buying a car you can get the same basic car that gets the job done or you can get the next level up that looks generaly the same but has a few upgrades,to me(others can and will disagree)the cost of buying the upgrade is wotrth it to me rather than spending years with a car with manual windows and such.the modding of the newer series is much easier and streamlined and most of the items made for the older series will be transferable with some simple work.Part of me wishes TK had used his limeted resources making a few expansions for FE1 rather than go down this rout but as I am switching from SF! to SF2 I'm seeing much more than a few simple grafics changes.heres hoping that there will be more added to FE2 and that the expansion pack for it fills in some holes.

I would think that it would be simpler to smash the hell out of it with a sledge hammer then throw the remains in the fireplace? it sure would relieve some stress.

while I am looking forward to the new release I can't help but think it will be lots of work updating the horde of older aircraft and addons to the newer standard.

Ihave to say thanks again for all these Mig-19 variants.these were the final push I needed to completely change over to SF2 from the first generation sims.

Yes I like those very much.

1st new Years eve in 4 years I'll be off from work so I'll probobly drink like I did in my 20's and with luck I'll be so hammered that I can take advantage of myself without my knowledge.If thats the case don't let me post any screenshots that day ;)

GGGRRRRrrr ;)

simply awesome,thank you to all involved.

I always loved this vehicle to see it in game will be great,thank you for making it.

If there is even a chance of some Mig-17 varients that are of the quality that these Mig-19 have I will be the happiest person on earth.
