Impact

Ah Steel Battalion. When your Vertical Tank explodes before you press the ejection button your savegame will be deleted.

I got my collectors edition of cliffs of dover for 9 euro at amazon.

I think he didn't stand in front of it, but used such remarkable invention as this comfy seat

Include armor penetration system which is usually used in tank sims. Internal systems which get damaged depending on what kind of ammo hit, how much kinetic energy it had etc... Think of it as a tank sim, but vertical, and with legs. Make it so the Mech can fall down if it turns too fast with too high speed. How many crew members do you wanna have in a mech? Make it so the pilots are vulnerable. What kind of weapons do you wanna use? Handheld weapons? If yes, make arms, legs etc cutable. How mobile will be your mechs? Are they aerodynamic? Put in stuff like ejection seat, screen wiper, startup procedure much like the A10c in DCS, complex electronic system, which can fail in case of damage, making you a sitting duck. Maybe being able to jump out, grab a sniper, shoot someone else out of their cockpit and then taking over the mech to continue fighting?

What? I only understand german sausage.

You can have "so bad it is good" music, you can also have "so bad it is good" movies. But there is no such thing for games. Such a case is Jane's Advanced Strike Fighters.

Of course it is not a flight simulator anymore. Thats why they deleted Simulator in the name.

You won't be flying at maximum level of difficulty for long, Dorothy.

A favourite of mine, the Dassault Rafale:

If you use the Warthog, just startup the TARGET GUI and make a new config, selecting both the stick and the throttle. Run it and you should have a Warthog combined in your game controller menu of Windows. Then just start the game and set up your joystick. For some reason it seems to only recognize 32 buttons... But thats sure enough for the most important settings.

The sounds of other spacecraft are simulated by the audio computer to enhance situational awareness of the pilot. Also to wake up command by buzzing the tower! Oh, and I discovered while fighting a cap ship that my wing men where strafing around by using the glide mechanic that the Arrows have. Now I am fighting like the Babylon 5 fighters! Should make it easier to conserve fuel, shoot down missiles, etc. Just afterburn to 1400, glide and set it off. Cant wait to fly the Excalibur of the old WC3 days.

Damn, it is hard shooting down cap missiles with the Arrow after being used to the Hellcat...

I replayed that mission on easy instead of normal and not even got a scratch on our wings. The coward ace got away, is that normal? It seemed that I couldnt scratch his fighter under 68%...

Does the difficulty setting only change the vulnerability of my ship? Or also of my allied ships? Because at the moment I am at the mission where you escort some Strike Sabers, which end up as cat food for the corvettes after I defeated all the fighters. They shoot their torpedoes too early so the corvettes guns destroy them before they reach their target. I tried playing the hunted duck by drawing their fire on me, but still no joy, will try more times.

So is the campaign like in Wing Commander 1? Is it more like a tree structured campaign with different routes and endings? Or are all the 55 missions linear? Whats the shortest amount of missions to win?

If the engine isn't able to have cockpits, how do you explain this:

But this is for Xbox 360... What kind of flight sims are on the Xbox 360? None. Only arcade flight shooters with 256 missiles on a plane.

I will wait until we see gameplay footage, instead of prerendered scenes.

What is EDGE?

I was pretty hyped about it 6 years ago. Lets see how it turned out!

He is gonna be a pilot someday... Wish my dad had any hobbies or interest besides watching tv.

Today my Cliffs of Dover arrived. It is the Collectors Edition for 8 Euro. Sounds bad already, but I asked around if the patches fixed anything after 1 year and everyone was like "GET IT". Now I have a map made of cloth, a flight manual for the Spitfire, and a thick game manual. After the patches are finished, I will fly a bit.

Why is IL2 CoD called IL2 CoD when there isn't even a Sturmovik in it? I only see that they don't seem to know what they should focus on. It is a flight sim, and instead of introducing combined arms they should fix the bugs and stability issues, while also putting in more air planes.

Conspiracy!!! :lol: I think the flightsim community is mature enough and doesn't shoot down any newcomers to this genre.

If I ever see one of these skins in multiplayer, there will be a lot of friendly fire.
