...and a 75 missile loadout, is that real?

 

Or how about cloud view when you have a bandit on your six?

 

 

The graphics (outside the cockpit) look stunning, and the game does have some kind of 'realism' setting, but i was very dissapointed in the arcade route they took with this game...

 

but maybe ill rent it and play on my 360 to check out the multiplayer, might be fun!

ummm, why dont you tell the guys in this video that the hawx game is unrealistic arcade fun.

 

VECTORED THRUST IS VERY REAL. (for diveplane...VERY VERY VEY REAL..)

 

game is aimed at mainly

the console market. maybe pretty looking thats about it.

 

if you enjoy this type of arcade games go ahead enjoy it. but i would never try to compare it with DCS, or a real life video clip.

Uhm ... you already have a vectored thrust aircraft ... the ka-50! ;)

 

As for HAWX? No realism in the FM whatsoever - it isn't mean to have it, but I'd happily play it to kill some time! It looks fun!

 

I'm not sure what you'd do with vectored thrust in DCS though, other than hang yourself in mid-air and get yourself killed for it ;)

 

Edit: I just watched the clip. Forget about doing this in DCS, even if TVC was modeled. Realism does not become HAWX ;)

Funny you mention arcade. My first exposure to air combat was playing Afterburner at the arcade in the local mall. My next bit of exposure was probably the movie Top Gun. Interesting how this eventually developed into flying realistic simulations, no?

 

You could make one tiny little further jump in logic and see how the kid with the 20/20 vision waiting in line behind me grew up to become an actual fighter pilot. :)

 

Kinda like how Star Trek inspired some to become astronomers. Funny how fiction often gives more inspiration because it easily captures the imagination!

dcs=sim

 

hawx=arcade penny insert .big fun

 

i do agree we came a long way since the arcade games.

now have dcs. ,and yes thx to those games and progress.

 

You're missing the point, I think, but its cool. If I had to guess what child would become the future pilot, the one who sits at his computer playing DCS/Falcon all day vs. the one who flies his toy airplane around the room annoying the heck out of his parents, I'd guess the latter. ;)

Yes. of course vectored thrust is real, the F-35 on the other hand, does not have vectored thrust...

 

HAWX could be a fun little game, not realistic, but one might be able to get a couple of hours of entertainment out of it.

yea..HAWX is arcady..

but vectored thrust is real...

would be cool if there was a DCS module incorporating a plane that has vectored thrust..

play a study sim vectored thrust aircraft...

Looks Cool! Like someone said above.. Arcade today... Cockpit tomorrow... That's how most of us that are pilots got stated! LOL!

 

Ask any aviator or war fighter they will say I played this game or played that game . blah blah blah... Great comment!

 

Don't discount the power of a fun game. In most cases a game lets you expand your imagination. Giving you the feeling of being there... then you follow up on your dreams and get there... that is what a simple game can do...

My mission is to fly, fight, and win. o-:|:-o What I do is sometimes get a tin of soup, heat it up, poach an egg in it, serve that with a pork pie sausage roll.

I'd love to play this game - HAWX on PC too. Come on, it will be fun. No point bashing it. I wish there were more arcade games like this on a PC, including helis.

 

Does anyone remember Desert Strike? Or JETSTRIKE? These were such great arcade games.
