Bad Idea Hat Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Given that one was an F-14 study flight-sim and the other an action flight-sim game pretty much, I wouldn't even mention them in the same context. Still have the FD installed on some portable laptop (and the Tornado), while I could never get into those USNF/ATF/USAF games with their generic system modeling, weird physics and arcade gameplay. Though, I was surprised to read they were released in the same year, also thought the USNF was released a few years later. Always felt it's a shame Microprose didn't merge some of the FD features to their earlier F-15 SE3. The systems modeling there was quite decent, but the game world was empty (i.e. no wingmen or civilian or friendly flights) apart from a few scrambled interceptors. With a wingman, squadron management and some friendly support flights, plus some enemy groups to encounter, it could have been a much better sim. All I know about the RIO seat comes from Fleet Defender, and that makes me know that the seat is better left to someone more intelligent than me.

mkosmo Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Still playing Fighters Anthology :music_whistling: Now there's one I haven't thought of in years, or even the rest of the Jane's Combat Simulation line. The advantage to it being a Jane's product was the volume of encyclopedic knowledge also included! I still have a load of Jane's books and collections in a box somewhere.

Solidsnakekillsu Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I didn’t believe you and had to go look. Holy crap, they came out the same year. I didn’t play USNF hntil a couple years later. You may be thinking of USNF 97 which came out a couple of years later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazz_44 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 How can it possibly be tomorrow? - Notify us that the pre-sale period is almost over? Not checked - All videos from early adapters (Magz / Jabbers, etc.) released already? Not checked - MiG-19 by RAZBAM released? Nope March 20th folks.

Not really, the usual update day was on fridays, they changed it long ago and stated the reason was if anything got badly broken with the update they could release a hotfix on friday.

ShalashakaDS Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 It does, still think doesnt make much of a diference, it is still coming on a day where an open beta update would be expected, if they could not make it ready for a wednesday update it is still better than having to wait a whole week for another update.

nicka117 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Even if the release date was at the end of the promised range, or a week from now, it would be nice just to get A release date. Cobra said they were anxious to share the date in "the coming days" 6 days ago. So we are now waiting on ED....and radio silence from them. I'm not defending all the natives that make up dates and then throw a hissy, but the frustrating thing has been that it always feels like definitive info is just around the corner...but never quite. I resolved myself to the release being mid March a while back so that does help the antsy-ness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falk1234 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 ... it always feels like definitive info is just around the corner...but never quite. Yeah that is what got all these different release hypes going in my opinion. I think a release date was "internally discussed" early this month. That was another one of these moments ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
