Pacific Fighters
Half Life 2
Halo 2

Going to be hard to find the time for just one of these let alone all three. Think I'll try my best with the first two.

Nice screenshot.  I believe Pacific Fighters will definitely be a "must have" once we see the actual game in motion =)

It already is a must have for me.

That water is already in FB:AEP, it's supposed to be slightly faster though in PF.

The new pilot models, theater, planes, carrier landings, etc have been making me wish it was already released... just one more week though.

The water?  What setting do you have the landcape lighting and detail on. Cus there is an option for "perfect" but it screws up my video display.  It's really hard to explain, all the colors like turn to black. Radeon 9600XT

Anyways, hopefully this will be fixed for Pacific Fighters =)

I have a 9800Pro, with all settings maxed out.

Using Omega 4.9 drivers, you may need newer drivers as the ones prior to 4.1 aren't recommended (as in mostly don't work) with the perfect water.

My water doesn't look like the above though, because my CPU isn't fast enough  - AMD XP 2600+ - 333Mhz FSB, 1.9Ghz, 512KB L2 cache.

In the conf.ini there is a setting that allows a lower detail perfect water (basically no land, trees, or airplane reflections) - and that is setting water = 0 at the bottom of the conf.ini.

Water setting for FB:AEP or PF?

The above water is in AEP, the "new" water for PF will require the Nvidia 6xxx line of cards.

I don't mind cranking the graphics way down as the main part I'm looking forward to is hopefully realistic carrier operations on a pitching,rolling deck. And to see how well the multiplayer arenas come out. Can't stand so called flightsims where there is no challange in landings what so ever, land or carriers. If it's all good, then I'll spend what ever to get the graphics cranked up as computer components other then top end graphics cards are relatively cheap. Especially compared to racing.

Been waiting for a Pacific Sim since Aces of the Pacific, graphics sure have come along way since then. :)

LOL classy,

Funny screenshot as the flat blue ocean and the cloudless skies reminds me of another sim just that it's in a much lower resolution.
