RedTiger Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Glad to hear that its almost ready. I wish the FSX version could be released at the same time. I'm thinking about using this as an excuse to buy FSX. :music_whistling:
JaNk0 Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Hmm where's the stick in the second pic? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
hitman Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Im sure that after 4 years of development, they didnt forget the stick. Those pics are old.

JaNk0 Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 4 years? Did they build the plane or what? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
hitman Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) From scratch. Im certain it comes with its own AFM as well. Dont quote me on that, but its supposed to be the most realistic aircraft ever produced for a flight simulator. Know what I just noticed? You buy the Hornet, you get REX as well. Yeah I think Im gonna get the hornet to just save money on REX!

No blowing up stuff, but I was at least happy that you could drop bombs and bug/lock aerial targets.

RedTiger Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Yeah, it sucks. I don't want to buy FS9. I don't really want to buy FSX either. ;) However the prospect of getting to fly around the world in a Super Bug, taking off from San Antonio International is just too freaking cool to pass up. :pilotfly: And that REX stuff is probably worth the purchase price alone.
badaboom Posted November 7, 2008 Author Posted November 7, 2008 Hi Hitman,AlthoUgh I wish it were true,I don't see anything on the VRS site that advertises "The F/A-18E" and "REX" together for purchase for one price.And if I'm not mistaken REX is only for FSX. I'm really interested to see what type of carrier opps will be included with this,if any. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
hitman Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Yeah that was my mistake...I saw the ad on the side that says get rex with the f-18.

badaboom Posted November 7, 2008 Author Posted November 7, 2008 God how I wish it was true!!!!!!!!!! I really don't like the stock enviorment in FSX,just seems very sterile and lifeless as is out of the box.I actually like the stock enviorment in FS9 more than FSX. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
hitman Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 I think Microsoft used MS paint to do the terrain. 1 Intel 13900k @ 5.8ghz | 64gb GSkill Trident Z | MSI z790 Meg ACE | Zotac RTX4090 | Asus 1000w psu | Slaw RX Viper 2 pedals | VPForce Rhino/VKB MCE Ultimate + STECS Mk2 MAX / Virpil MongoosT50+ MongoosT50CM | Virpil TCS+/ AH64D grip/custom AH64D TEDAC | Samsung Odyssey G9 + Odyssey Ark | Next Level Racing Flight Seat Pro | WinWing F-18 MIPS | No more VR for this pilot.
badaboom Posted November 8, 2008 Author Posted November 8, 2008 Good news!!! VRS have itegrated Carrier Ops in the package,but you will still need a add-on carrier to make it work,VRS suggest useing The AlphaSim payware "USS Enterprise" http://www.alphasim3.com/store/product_info.php?currency=USD&cPath=24&products_id=138 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
hitman Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Carrier addon such as in Accelleration too?

badaboom Posted November 8, 2008 Author Posted November 8, 2008 Not sure about FSX yet [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
badaboom Posted November 26, 2008 Author Posted November 26, 2008 New vid featuring Air to Air Munitions is up!! Check it out here..... http://www.jaggyroadfilms.com/index.php?page=films [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
RedTiger Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Looks great! Nice to have the ability to shoot some missiles and drop bombs.
pauldy Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 I really want this one since it's about my favourite aircraft :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
badaboom Posted December 21, 2008 Author Posted December 21, 2008 It's been released for FS9!!!!!!!!! http://www.vrsimulations.com/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
badaboom Posted December 22, 2008 Author Posted December 22, 2008 *****This is NOT your Accel. Hornet!!!!***** This baby is incredible!!!! I'm really not exaggerating when I tell you THIS THING IS THE REAL DEAL!!!!!!!! How about this VC in 6dof!!! The VC is a true work of art! with TRK-IR4 6DOF the immersion is through the roof!! you really won't believe you're flying in a sim that's 5yrs old. I only have a few hrs in her but the flight model feels very real,it feels like you are propelling a large piece of steel through the sky!! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
RedTiger Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 I might just have to pick up a copy of FS9 and give this a try. I was waiting for FSX one, but I want to see what its like.
badaboom Posted December 25, 2008 Author Posted December 25, 2008 Hey RT! Merry Christmas to you bud :] I picked up FS9 off e-bay[for about $20.00]new,just for this add-on,it's really amazing.Thier is talk of a Profesional edition for FSX with alot more features!! You should ck out the VRS forums if interested http://www.vrsimulations.com/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
