Jet Thunder

[element1108]

No scripted landings, jet thunder if it ever gets releases will probably be a fun sim survey sim. Who doesn't want to fly the harrier? They do need to take that pointy arrow thing off the HUD though. Even in "simple mode", get it off the heads up display, critical information there.

 

 

Edit: sim hq article says jet thunder has a publisher and a 2010 release date planned. Aerosoft....publisher. Full startup on harrier modeled.

What Dante (Thunder Works) wrote at Aerosoft forums about the arrows:

Don't worry, that was stuff needed by request from publishers of Games. However, Aerosoft is a publisher of true sims which means the arcade feel will go away.

Sounds good, I guess Im going to buy it if its true that it has full start up of the Harrier modeled.

WHere did they get (at minimum) EM charts for the Mirage?

Jet Thunder has been welcomed with lots of expectation form the Argentinean people; I wouldn't be surprised if they got the charts form the Argentinean Air-force. The sim was presented on the news recently since part of the team is form argentina.

From me GG :)

 

Here is a single example. The Terms "Amber extinction" are AOA limits as the Mirage III used a colour light system to indicate AOA.

Here you go Bartleby Sea Harrier FRs1 VSTOL HUD Symbolgy

 

 

Another this one showing a guided approach using MADGE which is a Microwave ILS type system. Ships course is 150 The cross represents the Ship location. The circle with legs on the Left hand side is a range clock with Decel range cues annotated on the circumference. The cross should overlay the CV this is positioned by Radar lock or the Aircrafts NAV system.

Im sold :)

[GGTharos]

Cool! :)

 

I have been looking for Mirage Operator's Manuals ... I found one somewhere, but in general they appear to be quite hard to come by :(

These guys have a good set of Mirage III manuals. You wont find EM diagrams in them though :)

If you are only getting 1 CD then CD2 is the one to get. The RAAF manuals there are the very last edition just before the aircraft went out of service. The Blue manuals on CD1 are the first edition RAAF flight manuals.

Jet Thunder

 

Anyone been following this sim of the falklands war?

Aerosoft are going to publish it by end of this year I've heard.

 

Although I think it may only be the Harrier initially, with more planes coming on board over time.

Oh hey what's this 9 page thread? :P

Some news regarding Jet Thunder and it's Jan 2011 release...

 

 

http://www.forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?showtopic=41424&st=0&p=275285entry275285

 

Also outlines what airframes are included...

 

Jan 2011 first release (Ground Attack)

 

June 2011 Second release (Air to Air combat)

 

September 2011 third release (the rest)

 

Looks like MP won't be available until the final boxed version is released in September. It's also 50% cheaper if you wait until Sept and buy everything all at once which is a bit backwards I guess, but those who are enthousiastic to try it out (me) will end up paying the additional cost to receive it sooner.

 

... I'm actually REALLY looking forward to seeing this as I've been following it for freaking YEARS already hehe.

I agree that it seems a bit backwards that you have to pay more if you buy all three releases separately, but I really want to fly the Harrier, so Im sure Ill buy all three releases when they are released.

[104th_Crunch]

I'll wait for the first A2A addon. No A2A and no MP in initial release. I want A2A darn it :)

[Pilotasso]

A2A+Multilayer or burst :D

[element1108]

I'll be sure to let you guys know how it is. I really want to fly that turboprop...I have no idea why.

:pilotfly:

[McVittees]

That is really odd. Surely you'd entice people to buy it now so you can generate cash flow?

[jaeger_101]

They count on the addicts ! :lol:

[element1108]

Addics, enthousiasts ... what's the difference ;)

[104th_Crunch]

Yes, addicts. In spite of my previous comment, if this is anywhere near a high level of realism and simulation, I will buy it as soon as it is released.

[element1108]

Jet Thunder's realism level is probably on the minds of almost every single air combat sim player out there. We've all read the press releases on it, but haven't seen anything resembling a "high fidelity" sim from the video's released.. Aerosoft's attachment gives me some confidence, but we'll see.

[hassata]

Really for me, realism=DCS A10. don't think it can be surpassed for home based PC

Hahah, yeah, I'd have mirrored Pilotasso's sentiment if it wasn't for the inclusion of the Pucara in the initial A2G release. I love that plane! It may not be a jet, it may not kill Migs, and it isn't much faster than a Cessna, but... it's such a beauty! :D
