Anyone remember when AirWarrior (can we say that word now?) was going to shift focus to the Vietnam Era? My first thought on that was that Kesmai couldn't compete in the now packed WWII arena, so they were going for something novel.

Eh, anyhow, leave the modernstuff to other development teams as far as I'm concerned.

Well, I overeacted. Yes I would LIKE the concept. I dont think it would work, because people would just HO with an F-15 instead of an La-7, but if it worked, yes I would LIKE it.

:noid :noid  Just to get your attention, but heres a thing, get perks, a 262, theres your fighter jet. :) Cant say its modern, but come on. Who wants to move at 700 MPH and shoot a missle that locks on from a mile away. Dont you like getting 400 feet from a guy and blastin his wing off?

I have Lock On: Modern Air Combat.  It's the most realistic aerial combat simulator I've ever seen (and I've played a lot), with Aces High II being a close second.  Although realism is the feature I look for the most in aerial combat simulators and Lock On has the most of it, I don't enjoy Lock On very much.  Why is this?  It is because modern jet fighters do most of the work for you.  They avoid the stall for you, they calculate your flight path for you, they even aim for you.  The skill required to fly a modern fighter jet is great, but it is very small compared with the skill required to fly a World War Two era fighter.  Why, a fighter jet can climb to its ceiling in about thirty seconds!  And it has no torque or gyroscopic effect.

It is true that all simulators greatly simplify many aspects of flying fighters, but they do so proportionally; while it is indeed harder to fly a real fighter jet than to play Lock On: Modern Air Combat, it is also much harder to fly a real warbird than in Aces High.  I speak of engine and fuel management and similar things.  Regardless, both in simulators and in real life, modern jets are very easy to fly compared with older warplanes.  To put such a talented team as Hitech, which is creating things that no one has ever made before (made well, at least), in charge of a simulator that has already been done well by Eagle Dynamics would be a terrible waste of talent and resources.

actually did you know it is harder to fly here than in real life to a trained pilot. For in a plane everything is in nice spots and a lot easier to find. And here you have to push buttons move your hands and set controls to your likeing and then memorize them. At least thats what I heard.:cool:
