A fall is the road to the next sortie

The tank module in GB was no flight either.

 

 

Except Tank Crew was done by a 3rd party, so it didn't distract from the main focus.

I would gladly pay for Tank Crew Korea!

(I cut my sim development teeth on Korean War and Arab-Israel mods for Panzer Elite)

Oh, see, now I get it. Not to distract THEM from the main job. 100% agree. But third parties are still there. Ubisoft, for ex 🙂 they are already bankrupt. 1C could throw them a bone! 🤣🤣🤣

No, no more off topic, Luke, roger that!

So, my guess is that they haven't made this basic "persona" just as a distraction. There might be something cooking in the future.

Anyhow, it's cool.

I really like that vid 'A Fall is the road to the next sortie', but there's something which I can't make out ? When the pilot walks by the railway station what is happening on the left hand side platform at 1.12 ? It's like a figure jumps up and down with an abortive jet pack take off lol ! What is that ?

[AndreiTomescu]

It's the pilot mother. She's worried. 🙂 

Her name is Mrs Glitch. 😅😅

with such detail in the ground assets/objects, i assume they have some big plans for more ground based stuff.

Would be great to run your pilot to a waiting helicopter and board the chopper for a CSAR pick up and flight back to safety.   

Would also be great to fly a helicopter too, and watch one of your mates running towards you and boarding your chopper so you can fly him back to safety, if you make it out alive.  

Now that would all be really great!!!!!!!!!!

There is so much potential in the flight sim. 👍

Happy landings,

I had to bail out of my F-84 as a tail gunner in a TU-2, in a last gasp hit my plane and started a fire.  Was "close" to base and decided to walk back.

I was stunned,  this landscape could make a very passable first person shooter. It reminds me in a way of ArmA 3.  I was really surprised by the sounds in the trees. I knew about the wind sound FX, but hearing aircraft in the distance was shockingly real, and then...  I heard a woodpecker!!!!!

Just incredible.

Now get me an operable Jeep, or better yet, an M-46, and a new dimension of gameplay could open up.  Forward air controllers, actual human players, would be a really cool mission element.

Well, you know what, guys? 

Le's be honest: a flight sim IS, actually a kind of FPS. Much more complex, hugely more complicated, but, in essence, well, it's no farm simulator.....

Why not continue the pilot's journey on foot back to base? Why not on enemy territory? Why not swimming to an island? 

We'll gonna have a strategy tactical simulator embedded into the campaign .....

Are we talking KOREA here? I can't see any such command in the keyboard listing..

They have actually implemented multiple ocean states (that roughly match Beaufort scales 0 to 6), as they had in GB. These are independent from the weather settings however, so need to be explicitly set accordingly by the mission designer. Probably the automatic mission generator doesn't take the wind into account yet.

That's awesome to hear! That will go nicely with my dream scenario in the future where we've got to put an F9F down on the deck with low fuel, some battle damage and daylight running out while the ocean batters the carrier.

Yes

[Viking1]

And do those commands appear in your KEY MAPPING under Pilot Actions? All I see are two categories: Pilot Walking Controls and Pilot gestures while in cockpit..
