Stratos

Questions and answers from TK: [Q&A] Q. What happens if the funding goal isn't met? A. Not everything will be lost even if we don't make the funding goal. We do plan on securing the amount we're short by through other means (loans) and still get the Windows 10 update done at a later time (probably early next year). If we have to go this route however, the update will have to be a paid update and not free to everyone so we can at least recover part of the cost. It'll be free to only those who contributed to this and those who purchased the SF2 Complete Edition. Please note that this campaign is set as "Keep it all", meaning we keep all the contributions even if the funding goal isn't meat. Q. Can we add <xyz> features and fix <abc> bugs? A. We'd love to be able to do everything everyone is asking for, but unfortunately, all these take a lot of time and money. If you're expecting our games to have all the features from other AAA-quality games, then you'll be disappointed. Those games costs 10+ (some over 100+) million budget, and there is simply no way we can even come close to that with $100-500K budget we usually spend on our games. If we do make more than the funding goal, we'll have the contributors vote and decide on which features we should spend that extra amount on. Q. Are you going to continue to support the game? A. We wish we could continue to support the game forever, but again, these things takes a lot of money, and we simply can not afford to keep supporting old games for years and decades. This crowd funding goal is enough to pay for just 2 months of operation. In order for us to continue to support the game year after year, we need the community to continue to buy our games (and not just play them) year after year. Q. Isn't it better to do Strike Fighters 3? A. We'd love to be able to do SF3, but we're not ready to commit that much time and money to a new PC game at this point (we still haven't paid off the development cost of SF2NA). A completely new game would take us at least 5 years and cost us at at least 2 million. Plus, everyone expect post-release support for 10-20 additional years, easily doubling the cost. We just don't think we'll be able to raise that amount needed based on numbers we have. We'd love to be proven wrong on this, if this fund raising goes way better than expected, we can re-consider this in the future. Thank you!

Is a interesting story, and a cool plane. Maybe one day will make its way to Sf2.

What happens If you eject?

I sent him a mail asking for more info, If he replies I will post the info.

That's why I ask, shall we as a whole community ask TK to forget the Win10 update and use the money to fix bugs and add features?

That's why I ask, we as a comunity, should ask for: A: bypass totally the Win10 upgrade as after all the game already works on win10 B: Use all the money to fix bugs and add features.

What people think of this?

Maybe we should tell him that everyone is using it in WIN10, so he can use ALL the money to add new features???

TK el creador del juego ha colgado un crowfunding para ver si puede pasar el juego a Win10, y si se saca más dinero pues añadir algunas cosillas. Dejo el enlace por si alguien puede colaborar. https://fundrazr.com/31YZNe?ref=ab_2dek0lgdmy72dek0lgdmy7

Is strange yes, specially the two weeks part, maybe we can try to ask for more time? Can be, but one can never be sure.

Agree, what we need is bugs fixed, and functionalities added.

Contributed, 110$, that's all I can pay right now, wish he can put more days on the campaign, I think is a bit short on time. Also shared in Facebook.

We need to solve some issues with the air intake...

A son and his father.

Is possible to add Fake Pilot trucks, mules and deck crew?

That would be amazing!

No idea If you're interested in Cold War machines, but a work on the A-6 Intruder avionics by you would be really amazing!!

Thanks a lot!

April 2020: VFA-14 Tophatters: Based on the USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74) navigating Gulf of Dhimar in multinational "Operation Dragonbreath". Our mission is to help Dhimar counter the increassing terrorist attacks, neighbouring Paran is in deep turmoil and there have been repeated attacks against border cities, some of them even including APC and targetting our troops in the ground. During early morning we got a call from USMC troops, codename Ravagers, while on foot patrol they got ambushed by enemy APC's and infantry squads in the market of the town.As QRA aircraft we are sent to deal with the threat and help the marines in the close quarters of the city. The bad guys... At the carrier deck We were launched with a heavy load, so we need to refuel on the way to the coast. After the refuel, we head to the coast, apporaching Moshak Marines are heavy pressed, and we start picking our targets in the streets of the city JDAM away. The USAF boys are heavy at work as well. Rifle: Shack! Our job is paying in gold, but we're getting fired as well. But now the enemy is in full retreat, the marines were able to disengage, and the help is on the way... Is now time to get back to the carrier. Circling... busy deck. And parked, time for some late breakfast. The mission was a total succes, killed 3 BTR60 and 2 BTR 152, the USAF killed some guys on the ground, so I got this... The mission was really fun, had to spend sometime designing it to have everything in place, but it was both fun and entertaining, and above all I felt like a real pilot in a close quarter situation. I aligned each shot to avoid hitting buildings in the ground, and tried to follow all the procedures I read on real operations books. SF2 still has some great potential! During the flight I palyed a real firefight between US troops and talibans, so it was more realistic trying to save those guys on the ground. Sorry for so much pics, hope you enjoyed.

I'm on Win7 If that matters. But yes please, will like to try it.

No idea of why, maybe I lack the proper data inis?

What I mean is that I dont need new 3d models. "Simply" arrange the existing 3d bushes, trees, houses, etc.

Yes, really interested!
