Mistermann Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) They were THE producer of excellent videos back then. I remember the anticipation of seeing those intro movies the first time you ran the executable. Ahhh, fond memories. Funny how my memories of that video don't stand up to the real thing all these years later - wow, has technology come a LONG way. Can't wait to see what ED releases for their trailer. Better yet, can't wait to hop in and take her for a spin. Won't have to wait much longer.

Rick50 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Well, considering there's at least TWO recreations of the Top Gun intro using DCS, I'm sure a recreation of both Janes LB 1 and 2 are not far away! I prefer this one: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pellelil Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Sooo many memories of the old Janes Longbow Ever since I got the first DCS World I kept my fingers crossed that we one day would get an Apache. Normally I am jets all the way, but the Apache have a special status for me (thanks the those old Janes Longbow's). Thank you ED for finally including the AH64 1 Pelle Liljendal (MooseMan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasstmichdurch Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 The Longbow intros are great, especially for their times...but why have those intros always this #*%$~-rock-music? Would be great to see it in the DCS-Engine...with other music... Btw also the rock-menu music of the most modules...oh i can´t hear it anymore...

Rick50 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I dunno, I find all of them too cheezy, but I certainly welcome any DCS movie makers attempting to recreate improved versions of all of these! Then again, I don't think anyone can save Firebirds from the dialogue or overacting! One intro I always loved was Hornet 3.0, and at the time I REALLY wished that I wouldn't have to wait very long for graphics to match those of the vid... well it took a lot longer than I thought it might... but clearly DCS just blew past the intro graphics and into another dimension! One thing is clear, DCS Apache has higher quality resolution than Firebirds ever had... not to mention realism... removal of fromage... and no goofy muzik... BTW: did I see Nexus-6 Rachel take a Stinger off the side of the Apache, shoulder mount it and fire?!? What's going on with that?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Firebirds was ... special. ^^ Benjamin Gates shot the AH-6 Super Wario with its rockets, instead with his Stinger Missiles.

Rick50 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I mean the woman, Sean Young, who went to the commander's crashed bird, seems to take a Stinger off the winglet, shoulders it, and fires at an enemy helo... ?!? Was that ever a thing?! Carrying the ground/shoulder FCS in a compartment, to mount a Stinger for shoulder use?! Kinda thinking it's something they dreamed of but probably never got done?

BaD CrC Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 For LB1, I would be highly worried to pop up 100 meters from a convoy full of tunguskas and strelas in DCS, lol. Life expectancy would be way shorter than the time you need to launch a hellfire. For LB2, we need the Kiowa (and eventually the cobra). 1 https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
