Some Possible TV Exposure
« Reply #15 on: December 10, 2002, 08:35:38 PM »
Thanks for the response guys!

First off, TechTV studios are here in San Francisco.

Secondly, what I'm hoping this will be is a look at high-end online sims in general.  Part of that is because I feel very much a part of all of them.  I know that I haven't had much of a presence here at all but I've been playing AH on and off since the very first open beta verison.  I've been a long time Warbirds player, starting back around 1995 and AW before that.  I also play WW2OL as well as just about every other flightsim off the shelf.  So I'm a flightsim nut just like you guys and also a WW2 history enthusiast.  A chance to feature what we do on a international TV show has been a big goal of mine since I started working here at TechTV.

What I've done so far is to sell the idea to one of our producers who enjoys online gaming but hasn't himself ventured into the world of online flightsims.  In my heart-of-hearts, I would really like to do multiple segments spotlighting each game (AH, Warbirdsiii, WW2OL).  That's a lot of airtime, but I can hope.  My intent would be to focus on the positive aspects of each game rather than a compare and contrast.  I believe that they each have something to offer in their own way, and still there are many like myself who enjoy all three.  I also want to get into the HOTAS controllers and other gear that people use.  That could easily be a segment of its own.

So for now, just sit tight as this is going to take a lot of time and planning just to figure out what we want to do.  I know you are all standing by to help anyway you can and when the time comes I'll take you up on it if at all possible.

Thanks again!
Keith

yes, you need pretty people that don't have a slow southern accent.

or FDB's.

one of the highlights could be that HiTech actually comes in and talks with the people on a regular basis?

If you decide to show any live game footage on TV you may want to squelch channel 1..and probably don't include range sound (because of the turrets syndrome-like outbursts)

You may have to actually film for a few days to get some that is fit for anything better than 11pm or Cinemax.

Don't forget the Sim Pits some guys have built or the commercially offered ones.

That has got to go with the "high end" HOTAS stuff.

I would think HTC would be more than happy to assist as needed?

I live in the LA area and have watched the show. Anything I could do I would be willing to help.  Interviews with people crazy enough about the game to build something like this might be interesting.

Come on, guys!!!  This is obviously a "when" troll!!!!

Very soon, Wicked is going to respond and say, "On the show, we would like to feature some of the new stuff in 1.11.  When can we expect it to be released so that I can book the show with the producer?".  :D
