New battlestar is superior to old battlestar in everyway.

HAHA

Yea buddy we all want it to release perfectly complete and bug free day 1. But thats not how things work around here... Maybe don't participate in early access.

A fair guess would be the exact same as the F-18.

I think it's been said it's an "unlikely" because of still classified systems.

Monday September 23rd is the first day of autumn in the northern hemisphere. Anyone remember that cat's count down to spring?

Crap... Well according to wikipedia they went from the A and B model 16s to the F-15. Maybe ED will take pitty on me and give us a FL livery anyway so it will be useful in multiplayer.

That doesn't mean Florida never got the C block 50. I'll admit I haven't done my research on that.... But there's a good chance they had them at some point.

I'll start of with my home state. Hope to see it as an option.

I love it. Lets get that sucker into the user files.

I fly it from the left seat with a hat switch controling the camera.

Someone's mod?

Well that'll do! haha

How long it flies depends on the supply of parts. You can probably fabricate everything you need for the airframe but radial engines are getting expensive to support because not many people use them so there's no economies of scale when manufacturing parts. I have no idea if it's a different story for the An-2's engine in the rest of the world though.

Its definitely louder and looks very nice in VR, but she is pretty slow.

Maybe I had takeoff assist on by default? First take off this thing went straight down the runway for me. I was shocked by how easy ir was so it must be the assist. Maybe try that to start?

Maybe they are coming and this free map we keep hearing about is on the eastern front?

The yak is a good plane that is in need of a few things... But this is the I-16 thread and it has really impressed me so far.

Now that I've had some time to play with this I can say it's the plane I didn't know I needed! It's very nice and I'm having fun giving 109 pilots hell. This thing is so slow it cant get out of its own way but it turns like nobodys buisness and it puts out a crazy amount of lead.

Agreed that the yak is a good trainer. But this has been extremely easy to fly and gives me a T-6 texan vibe. I think it would work fine as a trainer.

Fact is we will have to suspend disbelief. They won't be able produce era correct variants so we'll use "close enough" and pretend. Cest la vie.

I saw one crop dusting in the US and asked them about the import process since the FAA is notoriously unfriendly to Russian aircraft. They told me it was not in the US it's in South America... haha

I think the 60 would be boring but I'd settle for a sea sprite. How about an SH-3 or Ch-46?

+1

Frankly I don't see a few screenshots as progress. It's been modelled for a while but its been in development so long the goal posts have moved as far a quality and he's just catching up with that. The developer has said it's being coded by a different 3rd party but can't say which. So that other party obviously has their own projects which have priority. Hopefully it see the light of day and is quite good, but with as little information as we get and how similar of a mission profile it has to the Gazelle, I just wouldn't bother thinking about it all that much. If it comes out great if not oh well. Fly the Gazelle until then.
