David Lagettie isn't some super star "developer", nor does he have very many games to his credit.  Most of his work was as an audio engineer in the Operation Flashpoint games, he only has one game under his belt as a designer.  His "claim to fame" was as a singer for some Internet band and a HVAC repair man in Australia in the early 2000s.

Not saying he is a super star....... but he developed also titanim.net for the military forces around the world, so I would say he knows his craft.

Whether or not he "knows his craft" doesn't automatically make him a good game designer.  While his Moby page lists him as the game designer of Carrier Command: Gaea Mission, he actually wasn't.  His true involvement with that game series was that he was the author of the story the game was based on and not as the game designer, lead or otherwise.  Yep, Wild Bill picked himself a winner!   :rofl

If the flight model and damage model is good enough for the real life american army, than it should be plenty good for us?

October is bearing down like a freight train.  We'll see soon.

I'm waiting for the "well, it might end up being a little late..."

They’re trolling Hitech.

Indeed. Makes one go hmmm.... :headscratch:


Either way, no fracking way that game with that much fidelity and complexity will be ready in time for this year.  And since all they're showing screenshots and not functional videos, they'll need at least 2-3 months alpha testing, and then another month for beta and then fixing along the way that could extend out beta testing for several more months.

I just hope it's a decent product...

While I agree, we don't know how many people are working on the new game, a game like this is not a very big game, it's not an rpg where you need thousands of characters, story, text lines etc, all you need is a 1 map, few planes and it can start.

Wild Bill is not a developer is he? I think David Lagettie is developing this.

There is an interview with David Lagettie in a magazine called PC Pilot, anyone by chance reading this?  :)

No.  Is there a link in there to the Open Beta download?

Release is less that 2 months away.
