Stary

also Oleg back in the golden days...

Happy Birthday Erik, and thank you for maintaining this lovely... weird place for us.

indeed, dunno about ED's past as I'm quite new to their line of products, but everything regarding Thirdwire -that's 100% spot on. Funny as in my previous post initially I wanted to point out TK's great (I mean great!) fast responses to various technical issues, and zero new product informations. Thanks for that JM!

Dave, I must admit I was angry at you two days ago. After your "boycott Tomcat" statement. I thought "what in the world is he's doing, will do no good for game and the community". But after rethinking whole thing I must admit you had right to react in such a way. I know that reaction wasn't abput lack of screen of plane A or cockpit B, it was our general disappointed of TK's lack of communications with the fanbase (which this site is the best part of) regarding future projects, voiced by you in such manner. May I ask if you tried talking DanW not to leave?

can we just sit down and patiently wait for F-14A Tomcat... you know, another title from Thirdwire that's in the making...

Problem with modern (Gen 4 and newer) fighters is those require new avionics.dll, also having Thirdwire's Hornet, F-15C or Viper 10+ would automatically require the complexity of avionics to go more towards Flamming Cliffs 2, which is in fact quite "lite" or survey compared to DCS series, but still involves next level of switchology from player than SF series. And that's something TK simply doesn't want

beyond 80s? Not this company if ou ask me... there's no real competitor in the 50-80 (if we stretch it a bit) for TK, no point for him to go into Gen 4th

wasn't that Super Etendart rather than F1?

left from here, he said there will be no more posts from him edit: DanW's listed in Expansionpack 2 credits

because Phoenix is such a bunker buster... thinking about it I wouldn't be suprised to see minimal to no ground/sea war going on I guess main role will be Intercept, secondary Escort and CAP. Where enemy land-based (=all) planes will come from, I don't know. Fact is we all know minimum, we knew what to expect from previous titles, here we're in dark, and DanW left

I bet that shot was taken over Germany map, to NOT show the new terrain features, that's marketing genius

less than zero... geez some people have expectation... no offence Nikos

this ugly Monday morning, best thing for me would be some more screens... yes that would be good

+1

'cause it is an anthill 437 run by King Dave, and TK's WIP screens are the stick...

you just made a classic quotation Viper @Hellfish6: reread SFP1Ace's post, especialyy the part about 3D clickable pit...

it's in there -fly mission, quit, hit refly, turn autopilot and press F12, and yes the camera is random

I'm all for progress but I know it won't be this time, maybe with SF3 if it comes in the rather distant future

I'll buy it day one. Someone has to, right? And I think with my not-that-high expectations I won't be that dissapointed edit: no, I'm not TK's blind follower, you may know that from my reactions to recent DLC packs for example. In fact I hate some aspects since day one (early early 2005). Things that as I imagine would be two days of programming. And two more for extra eyecandies. On few occasions in the past wanted to give up Thirdwire and go somewhere playing Sims 3: The Office Life addon But to blame TK for not making something in his game the way I would implement it, not going to happen.

Hello, P4 is still in the work, frankly no update screen in quite a long time

seen it, yes looks nice

Hmm we all miss one point here, all SF2 titles til now were basically re-creactions of previous Gen1 titles brought into V/7 Dx10 environment, expansions packs and DLC aside. With many many improvements along the way. SF2 North Atlantic's gonna be the very first "new" sim so, some changes in avionics/game mechanisc (as these both influence each other) seem very plausible. Oh thought struck me right now -IF TK would like to stay with the avionics unchanged a bit as we all know them, he wouldn't picked up Tomcat in the first place...

Snoopy's gone?

Hawkeye might have impact on Red Crown enemy planes detect chances and bogey's bearing/angle/distance info -say "Bogeys 11 o'clock, range 35 miles" as opposed to "Bogeys 11 o'clock, range 50 miles", but that would require extra speech files I guess, there's gap between 50 and 25 NM isn't it?
