    Jeff, Basically what I would like to hear from you (and I think you and I look for the same things in a sim) is how it makes you feel overall. Immersion is a huge part of a sim to me and I want to feel like I am strapped into the Jet screaming along at Mach1 , 200ft above the ground.

    Flight models are a big deal as well and how the planes "feel" and not just the numbers, but do the aircraft really "feel" as they should.

    third is sounds, sounds in any sim or game can make or break it and from all reports the sounds in LOMAC are great, but what about things like Wingman voices, ATC, or just chatter in a battle, etc.

    Fourth, User friendliness as far as the interface- such things as was the mission builder easy to navigate, was a quick mission easy to setup and fly right away, was the settings menue easy to understand and navigate as well.

    Also the view system like padlocking, panning, external views, etc and how they look and respond compared to what we have seen in the past.

    These are just a few areas that dont get a lot of attention and would be nice to hear about.IMO

    Thanks

    Well the Navy started using FS98 (probably FS2002 now) for training raw recruits on the T34 Mentor back a couple of years ago after an ensign scored really high and explained how he practiced on his PC using MSFS. Now they have a Computer lab with PCs setup with MSFS and the T34 mentor addon and are using it for training and pilots are getting higher scores when flying the real deal now.

    For something like LOMAC to work Im sure the military would want it more specialized to the missions it wants to replicate, but I dont see why something like LOMAC couldn't be hooked up in a full motion simulator and used by the military. I would hope ED gets a nice fat chunk of profits from the Government for the use of the sim.lol :wink:

    Good Point Fates and I meant no disrespect toward TK at all. I also agree it wasn't his fault, but truth is now he is stuck trying to fix it alone. I understand that he doesnt have a huge team working on this, but I would really like a little more communication from him every now and then. Nothing huge, just a "Hey, this is what's going on" type of thing.

     

    OK,

     

    /soapbox on

     

    Everyone one of ya got some things correct and some things incorrect.  The one thing that everyone so far has agreed to is that they will still look foward to playing the game.

     

    Seawolf, I completely disagree with "its been over a year since the Gold release"

     

    IMHO TK was forced by contract to put out an unfinished project.  TK also takes alot of pride in his work. Thus you can only imagine that he was about as fumed about the whole situation as all of you are now.  The Unfinished project IMO was not truely a GOLD but a Beta.  If we assume it was a beta, then maybe Patch 1 ws the "GOLD", in which case Patch 2 is really patch 1, etc...etc...  Please be patient...testing continues, and it continues because there doesn't need to be a single pilot crying about "When's the next patch coming out?"

     

    Dagger, I also disagree with "OK...so we loose a few Modders"

     

    IMHO The Modders are what make the game.  Without them the game will die a quick death.  They are the reason TK designed the game as he did.  FS2002 is a boring sim IMO...but the Mods turn it into a great sim.  Loosing any modder that has developed so much and inspired so many is a great loss...   I'd rather say CYA to a whole lot of others then modders.

     

    I would like to see more information released just as much as the next guy, but.....  Do we want to see eyeball candy and false hopes of a campaign engine like we have from LOMAC since 2001? I didn't think so.  I'm also sorry that everyone paid for such a great game that hasn't performed as advertised.  However, I do believe TK is making every effort to get this patch out for your enjoyment.  With Enjoyment being the key word.  No Crying, No Griping, just a satisfied customer that can understand what hard work has went in to a sim created by so few to put smiles on so many.

    The only thing keeping me from getting one of these mods is simply price. Most are around the $400 range and I only paid $250 for the HOTAS in the first place. I have never liked the stiff feel and dead spots between axis points, but I cant afford to spend $400 for a custom machined mod when the HOTAS should have been designed better in the first place. It is a great HOTAS and very rugged but I just dont like how it feels and sort of wish I had gotten CH gear.

    Dagger, its been over a year since the Gold release, not just the walmart fiasco, but the final release. You cant honestly say these guys are looking for a "quick fix". Loyalty to TK and SF is one thing, but let's be honest here, the lack of communication and info on updates is turning even those who were hardcore towards SF away. If this keeps up you wont have anyone to say CYA to because nobody will be left. Call me a basher if you want its fine with me, but I still have SF on my HDD and cant play it because I own a radeon card so I patiently wait for this all wonderfull patch thats supposed to be released. A little communication about what is going on and some progress reports would help quite a bit and ease a lot of peoples minds out there. BTW- SF didnt just lose 1 or 2 modders, It lost two of the best ones out there.

    This is a serious issue and shouldn't be addressed with "CYA". :roll:

    Thier home base is Eglin I think. I know they are in the panhandle of Florida. If the crew of the Shuttle ever needed to abort and bail over the atlantic then PJs would HALO from a C130 with SAR equipment to thier location and standbay with the shuttle crew in the water until a USN or USCG ship could get there.

     

    BTW Snapple, Im from Tallahassee and went to FSU for a short while until I joined the Navy. My Dad still works for Telecommunications at FSU. I look forward to football season and seeing if Bobby can get the boys back in the hunt.

    PJs are no joke. Ran into a few of them at SERE school. Good guys and tuff as nails. Even the two SEAL guys in our class were impressed. When we went on SAR missions we always stayed close enough to the boat that we had that blanket of security, but those PJ guys just jump right into the soup without a second thought.

    Keep in mind the PJs also spend a lot of time doing civilian SAR missions as well. When the Coast Guard cant get to them, they send in ANG PJs.

    It's actually pretty simple as for the reasons for the delay. Thats the way it is in the Software business, especially flight sims. ED went through some personell changes which helped cause the delays. It's in beta testing right now so it wont be too long. Be patient.

    You want a finished sim or another Strike Fighters? :wink:

    Is this the greatest show or what!lol Lee Ermy is awsome and the live show he did from the Gulf was fantastic. If you have no seen "Mail Call" with the Gunny you are missing out. Send your emails and let the Gunny answer them on the air. I hope this show sticks around for a long time.

    Thats awsome Fates. I really like AA a lot. I hope one day they make AA with huge worlds and operational vehicles like in OFP, that would be awsome. Even if they made AA with its realism into a type of BF1942 game where you can control everything would be really nice. heres to dreaming.

     

    All the Jane's titles had very nice intro movies and get my vote.

     

    I happen to love America's Army - Special Forces Video soon to be released game expansion:

    Is this to be some sort of ladder Bard? if so then couldnt Inferno participate in 1v1 engagements? or are you only planning on 4v4 etc?

     

    The reason I ask is because joining a squad is not something you just do without really researching first and it takes time to find the right one for you. Some cant because of thier time restraints, but they should be able to participate as independents I would think.
