So those muddy looking boxes are supposed to represent planes?

I cant wait to try it out, and I really hope it turns out to be a great flight sim.

And I am sure the HTC staff hopes its gonna be great too.

What Grunherz said. Time stood still for that program while the world of simming did not.

Terrain looks good.  Planes don't look so good.  

Visual ain't all that though.  How does it fly?  Damage models?  AI pilot capability?  Gameplay (missions) immersive?  need more info.  need demo.   :)

It sucks.  EA owns JANE'S so it will suck.

I admit to being somewhat less than impartial in this matter   :)

Hmmmm..

EA/Janes did, then re-did, then red-the re-did USNF, ATF stuff.. each revision added some planes and functionality.

I suspect this is a 'battlefield' version of WWII fighters... another re-did of a re-did.

Don't be so harsh on Janes... I can still remember it being the first successful TCP/IP sim release... that worked! It's awfully dated nowadays, but like Falcon; it had a 'Day in the Sun'.

Was it Pyro or Smut that went to work for Janes for a bit?

Smut(CJ) F15 project.

EA no longer owns the rights to Janes. That is why the project was dropped last year by EA and picked up again this year by the current publisher.

Hopefully it will be a nice bargain bin sim but the aircraft look like crap in all the screen shots I have seen.

Mad Doc's? Hmmm.. I'm wondering if these guys are trying to jump on the Maddox's bandwagon ;) Looking at the screenshot they've got a long way to go yet to match IL-2 :D
