So you'll be coming out of the closet in 2 weeks?

This thread is pure ghey.

Well...you DID ask...

Releasing a pack with just the new effects and screens, and instuctions on how to apply them to the original MF F-14A, is no problem. We don't want our aircraft re-released as "new" aircraft becasue it can be confusing to people new to the sim, and it creates a problem when we release upgraded versions. Thanks for respecting that and thanks for your enthusiasm for our Tomcat.

I think I can speak for everyone on the MF team on this. We appreciate all enthusiasm for our aircraft, but would prefer that "new" versions not be released.

We have a new F-14 model, but its waiting its place in line behind other projects.

Hmmm...should be easy to create an installer that will add a carrier to the Burning Sands campaign and move the Navy squadrons onto it.

Sorry, I get mad every time I think about it. :blush2:

Nothing. That's how close an ally Iran was under the Shah. To put it in perspective, there were a total of three full F-14 simulators built. One was at Miramar, another at Oceana, and the third one was in Iran. The Naval Air Maintenance Training Group even had a Det. there to support them. Then f*ckwad Jimmy Carter screwed the whole thing up, destabilized the region and brought an Islamic theocracy to power which has been directly responsible for countless thousands of deaths throughout the world. Then they gave him a Nobel Peace Prize for it.

Christ allmighty...you guys have heard of a detail slider??? Jesus...let's just accept some 1998-vintage terrain 'cause some guys have weak systems.

Ace Combat 5 has an awesome environment as well.

Of all of TK's sims, WOV is the most prone to stuttering and choppiness in my experience. You would benefit from an upgrade to 1 GB of RAM more than anything else, I think.

Repaints don't cut it. Especially overpriced ones. There needs to be more terrain complexity, higher texture resolution and greater object density. Modders can't overcome a basic limitation of the engine, and in the case of the ground environment, the entire world is passing this engine by rapidly.

TK has expressed an unwillingness to update the terrain engine, even though a lot of us have been asking for it for years. The best thing you can do is post on his forum and let him know what you would like to see. If enough customers express a desire for this, maybe he will change his mind.

Of course but you have to take this whole thread with a lot of salt. ;)

Nobody except TK knows. The Super Mystere is obvious from the screenshots, though.

The date is suspect. Beta test has not commenced yet and IIRC TK has mentioned that the First Eagles expansion will be finished before the new jet sim (and there has been no beta test of the expansion, either). So take it with a pretty large grain of salt...or a large salted eel.

This was asked about on a forum that I no longer post on, so I'll answer here. Yes, NATO Fighters 3 is still in the works. The centerpiece aircraft for the release will be the A-7D, and so NF3 will not be released until that aircraft is ready. Currently the Mirage Factory A-7E is about 95% done, and when that project is complete I will badger Oli to make the necessary, fairly minor changes to turn it into the D. I would like to be able to release NF3 around Christmas, but that is not a promise. Also planned for NF3 is the inclusion of the G.91 by erikgen, and probably some other stuff. ;)

OK Mr. Big Pants.

D'oh! OK, we can deal with this. They have beer in Wales...RIGHT??????

USAF switched to camo around 1965 for obvious reasons...I believe the standard NATO camo started showing up in the late 1950s but someone else will have to give the definitive answer.

Don't all English museums have pubs too?

We'll just charter a plane and then rent one of thsoe cool red double-decker busses to stalk, er, find Russ.

Yes, I figure that's where we will find him anyway.

Well...I guess we are going to have to go to England, find Russ, and hold him hostage until he finishes it. Who's in?
