    New? It’s an 8 year old abandoned E/A game. We’ve been waiting for that dynamic campaign since 2016.

      It was published by MicroProse a few days ago. This means that they've updated it, and (maybe) it deserves a new chance.

      As an Atari ST and PC sim head in the early 90s, this in VR, sound like a dream.
      DCS always looks far too hardcore for me.
      I need what we call in sim racing realms as ‘simcade’. Hardcore graphics, but a bit more approachable game mechanic/flight system.

    You landed that so well. It just did as it was told. I bought this and saw some bad feedback left on the steam saying that production had stopped. But I saw regular report updates on the thread of upcoming things and that things were still being worked on. Reinstalling I was really hopeful for this. So glad I paid for it when I did. And I am gonna enjoy this.

      If MicroProse published it a few days ago, there must be a reason. Have they updated it, maybe? It seems very different from the 2016 images.

    "Blue one this is the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt. You are clear to land." :) Loved CAP and GS2000 on my Amiga, still playing sometimes... Night missions, dashboard litening, laser designator and so on. Yumm yumm. CAP was a quantum leap back then but not this time. It looks quite okayish but compared to dcs it feels a bit arcade for me. Anyway, it is good to see any competitors to dcs, competitive environment has its benefits to all users. Oh yes and movable mouse in vr mode is not possible because your mouse has 2 axes while in vr you have 3. And you can't ignore the additional z axis due the perspective, headposition etc. So raycast driven central pointer yes but moving 2d mouse in real 3d space... not. The same method exists in dcs and it works for me well, just look at the switch and click. I took apart a cheap usb mouse, soldered wires to its buttons and placed 2 arcade button on the stick of my warthog hotas (with zipties, in a non destructive way ofcourse) . One for left and one for right click (right click is for rotary encoders for example). In this way I can click the buttons without releasing the stick itself. It works like charm. :)

    Looks good. Can't touch early access anymore. Even trusted companies and early on promises. If the game 💩 the bed might not even be left with the bag.
    And to top that off when you go to said game forums and complain. Mf say you new what you bought had the possibility to fail. Not a gambling man. Sorry

    • @FlightSimulation
      @FlightSimulation  4 дні тому +1

      I understand you, but unfortunately, releasing early access versions has become the new common practice. In the Amiga era, this was not possible due to the absence, or near absence, of the internet, so everything was released on the market without the need for various updates. Today, this is not the case. It's also true that sometimes, something good can emerge from small realities..

      @@FlightSimulation This whole live service and early access is the norm. Looks decent but the plane should have been the F35. Be something most players would want. I love the Harrier but it not as popular as other planes. Ive played so many Microprose games back on the C64.

    • @FlightSimulation
      @FlightSimulation  4 дні тому +1

      ​@@HADESPAYLOAD True, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind. First, the main developer worked on CAP1 back in the 90s. This means that, given his age, the Harrier could be his favorite aircraft :) Another important point, almost more important to me, is that there is no data available about the F-35 and other latest-generation fighters. It is impossible to create something realistic. You can invent how it works, but it will never be truly realistic.
      In contrast, decommissioned fighters like the Harrier, the F-14, and many other aircraft from that period are accessible to the public, making it possible to represent them as realistically as possible, with flight models based on real data, etc.
      Flying the latest generation fighters is more suitable for an arcade game. This game seems to aim for more realism, and I like this.

      @@FlightSimulation who said it had to be from public documents. It’s a game… make it fun. DCS is a game where only the air assets req public docs. Clearly no patriot data is available or s400. This game looks between DCS and warthunder but tbd. DCS still only has partial truth, non of the EW is realistic or based on data in DCS something I want developed and simulated effects EW equipment in DCS is usually not worth carrying. In the 90s Jane’s had all the current aircraft and f22 and f23 games exist. Again it’s a game and I don’t see anything appearing to be study level.

    It could do with a better tutorial system like the dcs of manuals like the falcon 4 BMW training manual. As I brought this a few years ago and gave up due to lack of training materials

    • @FlightSimulation
      @FlightSimulation  4 дні тому

      You are right; there isn't much information on how to fly and use the Harrier. However, according to the roadmap, they are working on it. I was able to use it with what I've learned on DCS, but for someone "new", it can be frustrating. Even some tutorials here on UA-cam would be nice. I will make something if I have the time.

    Don't even think of wasting your money on this guys. I got it and never reinstalled it after getting the Harrier in DCS. It's more a alpha version of a game - So much missing, you couldn't believe. Not easy enough for casual players and not in the slightest complex enough for the simmers. The graphics suck b*lls today, and even when it first came out almost a decade ago it was beaten by the old DCS and even Flaming Cliffs. Better get free DCS World and fly the AV-8B harrier there free for 2 weeks if you want a "Simulation", then repeat with "Trial Modules and Maps" every 2 weeks. If you catch the bug, start to invest in that hobby! This Game here would be more suitable for a handheld on the way to school or work. But you get pretty quickly bored, because it hasn't much to offer!
