Well they have some Las Vegas models added for 2011 so presumably they're still working on it.

Having said that, a part time crew, going for everything they want to put in it is going to take 15- 20 years

See you when I'm 50...

After reading all these posts in this thread I can't stop thinking:
- So many diferent polite and original ways to say the obvious, that is: Fighter Ops is DEAD or Vaporware! wink

They are caught in a vicious development cycle..

They are constantly having to change the billboards in front of the casinos:

The Blue Man Show - Luxor

Mystere - Bellagio

Joan Rivers Live! - The Wynn

Celine Dion - Caesars Palace



3 months later...

Donnie Osmond - Luxor

La Reve - The Wynn

Larry the Cable Guy - Caesars Palace

Rent - The Bellagio



...ad infinitum...

wink

So we can all agree FO has become the DNF of the simming world. Previous record holder was F4, which was delayed I think 3 years but still was only 7 years after its predecessor.
Of course with DNF itself now due out, will we start talking about games being "the next FO" instead?

I wish FO would just go away .... its a disaster.. and not only that, I feel they ripped off customers for buying the "special" members area

Compare Fighter Ops to TargetWare.

TargetWare took quite a while to get to a public release, then quite a while more to get to a debugged almost "polished" release.
Ultimately, it was too far behind "state-of-the-art" to attract more than a handful of people and progresses very slowly despite the promise of open community development.

Fighter Ops set much higher standards with apparently similar manpower assets. They can be honestly working on it as hard as they claim and still won't finish any time this decade wink If they ever release it, I suspect it will be so far obsolete that no one will care. The DCS series appears to be filling in the niche Fighter Ops hoped to capture.

Yeah, unfortunately that seems to be more likely.

I find very stupid the idea to keep interest in this project without any news to the community during several monthes.
How can you pay for a membership to such a thing!
No screens published in more than one year... and most of them are only rendered images!!!! bha! confused
