They are talking about bombers there.  Did they mention a Pacific sim next?  Sorry I didn't want to sit through the whole thing.

Dantoo did that for us for one of the BoB scenarios.  He was simulating "Top Hat"  i.e. Biggin Hill controller.  It was an awesome experience.  Though a hawt English chick would have been better.

Just enough info to put combat together without the easy-mode plane icons with directions.

Nice.  I missed that. 

So not the next project, but the project after the next one. 

That might take a while.  That will definitely put them in a horse race with CP.  Probably about that same timeline.

But then again, DCS may take twice a long as that.

Keep in mind this is NOT the Microprose of old.  Just some rando bought the name and rights.  I haven't really seen anything out of them that looks interesting.  It's not like Sid Mier is coming out of retirement.

Those graphics look like the original.

Yeah or barely updated UI. 

The name fools people, but it's not the same company.

It would be like calling modern day Italians, Romans. Hmmmm not quite.

What sets AH apart from all the other sims is that I dream about it at night. But then, having spent >20,000 hours on a single game inevitably takes a toll on your mental health...

Any video game will do that if you play enough.

I used to have dreams about certain Battlefield 4 maps.  Unless it was Operation Locker map, and that was more of a nightmare.

Used to have dreams about AH.  Switched to DCS and the dreams of air to air refueling and carrier night landings came along.  Nice to have passion for your hobbies

You guys dream about video games?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Funny thing is that in the dreams I am not "playing", but actually in the aircraft.
