I'm with Mark G on this one.
Absolutely valid and fine. Just don't say you're "optimistic"

Force10, I think that was directed towards me. And I will say one more thing about it... If Microprose wants my money, all they need to do is to offer some official online swag. A Microprose cap, t-shirt, coffee mug, maybe a jacket. I'll buy 'um.

I suspect this new Microprose will have less in common with the old Microprose than the new VW Beetle has with the old VW Beetle.

JimBobb, here's some positivity for you (and I should have looked this up earlier)... The owner of the Microprose brand at the moment is David Lagettie and his resume/bio looks awfully impressive... https://au.linkedin.com/in/david-lagettie-b55a8426As does his current company (may take a while to load)... http://titanim.net/www/index.php/pageHowever, keep in mind that spending money and having passion and good intentions don't always work out (Fighter Ops and Seven G). But now I think it's worth following these developments as they come along. EDIT: Oh, and I also found this... MicroProse Software Inc. Replication Logo Mug Mugs

Hot #%&*$# TitanIM is capable of recreating planet-wide environments from ocean floors to Earth’s orbit at equally high fidelity for any point between. Using the powerful Outerra rendering engine, blades of grass and dirt roads are as eye-pleasing as in any major video game, yet the view from 50,000 feet altitude is suitable for a high-end simulator.
If they're using Outerra in the new Microprose games, I'm stoked. The demo for the engine is amazing. From his other company's website: Titan Vanguard is AVAILABLE NOW for selected military and commercial projects and is already used in several military organizations and simulators, training soldiers daily. Please get in touch with your detailed requirements.
Titan is not currently available to home users or for entertainment purposes.
Maybe MicroPROSE is going to change that. The video on the main page is incredible. I can imagine so many oldschool Prose titles on the engine. We'd be in sim heaven!

I've been reading some on this VBS and Titanim by the new CEO and it was only for the military and never public, and now he is doing a public game, i'm kind of hyped lol That does sound good.

The death nail for any flight simmer:
"Mobile and game versions expected in 2020" Most likely it is different to PC version, because it will be released a year after. It is known for developers to make different version for different platforms. Yep. Mouse flying confirmed Mouse flying has always been in Warbirds since 1995, it is different to war thunder, as mouse here acts as a joystick and not 'point and fly' mechanism line in war blunder. I still think there is potential for this.
