whatever happened to JSF?
« on: July 31, 2002, 10:27:49 PM »
Anybody remembers the JSF flight sim? it had awesome graphics-they'd be pretty good even today. Its system requirements were rather low,even for when it was released.
How come no sequel came, what happened to the producers(a small firm,if I remember correctly)?-and it was distributed by EIDOS

I thought that was a Jane's production for some reason.  I also remember it not being too compatible with many OSs.

I tried JSF for a while but found the sim lacking. The avionic were simplistic and the FM "felt" completely unrealistic I thought I was flying a tie fighter half the time.

The real JSF is scheduled to be delivered in 2005, with the engines scheduled for delivery in 2007!:eek:

JSF was not a Jane's Combat Simulation title, nor was it published by EA. I believe the publisher was EIDOS.

The JSF engine was used in the FPS game I'm Going In (IGI), and IGI 2 is in the works.

JSF was published by Eidos; the actual developer was a company called Innerloop I think. I still have a copy of it here at the house and it will run on my 1.4GHz T-Bird with WinXP Pro but it ran great on my old Pentium 200MMX with an S4 4MB video card and an 8MB VooDoo with 96MB RAM. Although I have to run it in Win95 Compatibility mode and then it decides to crash at times.

I remember testing it for Eidos back right before it was released. As a flight sim it was a washout but the terrain in it kicked ass. Currently you can see the updated game engine in IGI 2 which is in late alpha testing and will probably go into Beta 1 testing sometime in late August.
