I know that this may be going a little OT, but with all the talk of people geting married to FO and having its babies:music_whistling: , (just to be clear i will get it also if it delivers what it says it will deliver) we all play LOMAC, we all have followed the progress of BS and most of us have used F4, so it is realy encoraging to me that we all love the absolute realism factor, but as far as i can tell interms of FM only LOMAC has demonstated this fidelity with FC and if we are taking the ED testers and ED themselfs seriosley the avionics is at worst going to match that of F4 but without the constraint of 2D - 3D pit.
What iam geting to is this. If BS is a supream demostration of what LOMAC can do, it is only a function of time, man power, money and publisity that we will get the F-16 and F/A-18 as stated on the Battle sim web site. (although they have taken this down shortley after posting that fact:P )
Just imagen, u are siting in the pit of one of these two figthers with ur TIR4 on, enbarked on a BARCAP, then u tilt ur head to look behind u and around the seat (6DOF) than back to get back in to the field of view of the outstandingly realistic hud:pilotfly: .
Even if no one is there, it is still a fealing to be experenced.
Basicaly LOMAC has the best chance of implementing this properly and faithfully... in my opinion any way;)
P.S. I also dont dont belive the clause of restricted information on these two fighters as ED are already working with the proper governing bodies to create the A-10C personal simulator.
