Sweet.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

You guys are moving in the right direction here.  Getting better.

Would you consider allowing the gunners on bombers to have the same ability to aim as the tanks?

Gunner's in planes will use the new system too.  It doesn't really affect you if you prefer a joystick but if you use a mouse it is way better.  You can also use the mouse to look around when you're flying a plane.

Great video, thanks for putting it together. Not into GVing much but this seems to be a nice improvement. Like the work you did with tank-specific sights.

Not a big GV guy here (so take with a grain of salt).

But

Not sure how I feel about the automatic transmission.  Seems kinda like a step backwards from realism into a "lets make gameplay easier for the sake of easyness (sp)"

I do dig the new gunsights +1

Will you still be able to go to the drivers position?  I always thought of the different positions having their pros and cons.  The drivers position gave you the capability to maneuver and drive but lacked 360 visibility.  Gunner had basic directional steering control, smaller field of view but you could obviously shoot.  The Pintle/ TC position gives the best view, basic steering, but only a small gun if any.  That seemed realistic.

I understand that what your doing is mating the different positions into a single operator (we the player being the sole handler of any 1 vehicle) and it makes sense but isn't the best gv driver the player that can master these different positions and make them each work together in the most efficient way?

It kinda looks like we will soon have the capability to drive a gv in an augmented F3 mode...  -1 for F3 gv mode (sorry I'm sure i'll get flamed here)


I do want to close with a big + to HTC willing to try new things and continually updating and adapting the game.
