G,
You are skirting around the ideas I have proposed. The point is to have a different goal to the current one available. Suggesting something beyond just a 2 or 3 side scenario. Currently there is a 31 player limit to squad size. What I am suggesting would result in larger squads because that's what it would take to hold captured territory. I do not think I have a better idea than AH, just a fresh approach to what they have already done. Please note I am not faulting the eye candy, the flight model, the types of equipment offered, its all pretty sweet. Just suggesting a different set of goals.
You say the same thing as AH about skins, honoring those that have served. This is a video game, its about having fun. Recreating historical skins "is" an honor for those that served, but its a game. Some could argue that a game trivializes what thier service really meant, not moi. Plus certain historical markings are illegal in some nations. ie the swastika, and rightly so. So historical accuracy is controlled as well. Being able to make up your own
non-offensive markings does not diminish anyones service, it is not insulting in anyway. I am from a military family, I chose another path and have not served. I understand the pov tho, just disagree with the limitation. Father is a Naval Academy grad who switched services to Air Force upon graduation, was in SAC and sat the silos. Both brothers served in Air Force. Sister married into Air Force. Majority of uncles and several cousins were either Air Force or Marines. 1 granddad was in the Canadian Air Force in WW1.
I get it.
Trust me when I say 1 person cannot program a sim such as this. If it were possible I would be doing it! There are millions of lines of code to write, plus 3D modeling, plus 2D skins etc.......heck just to skin a 3D model is quite a bit of work. rivets and there layout etc............
I pride myself on my ability to learn and use what I've learned. The spitfire stick is no joke, most seem happy with just a shell they build around a jet stick, hard work. I pushed for the ultimate, a working, full scale, WW2 aircraft stick. This should be a hint as to how far I am willing to go in order to reach a goal.
One must understand ones limitations tho.
Just 1 server, most are unused.
So I have presented my idea and my argument for trying it. I will say no more.
HiTech please consider the idea, its all I ask. If you will consider doing the code, I will do a map. Tougher for me because I have to educate myself first, y'all already have the skills, plus you will get paid for your time. Step out of the box, whats to lose?
