Yes sir, still in the east doing same old same old. Still gaming but on 360. Argh! This damn MW2 Spec Ops mode is tough. Almost impossible to the 3 stars on some of them.....well alone.

How are you doing? Still in the same area when we last talked....in the west?

It's great to see so many "old timers". I migrated from sims to FPS - not even the tactical ones. Mostly COD4 MP now. I still remember the iF22 boards and the whole dispute about F22 trademark involving Nova Logic...

Ah yes, the iF22/Novalogic fiasco. I still hold a grudge against them. Although, they're at least still around which is more than I can say about other developers/publishing houses.

By the way, a little history here. I know many of you who followed me way back in the days, knew I wanted to create a sim. I still do. I have tons of ideas and have a few friends in the industry.

Well it turns out my little brother was the one who would work on sims first. He worked at Ubisoft and then Eidos. If you guys watch the credits in R6, you'll see. I'm proud of the guy. I almost got in Ubisoft but just got edged out. We have the luxury here in Montreal to have Eidos, EA, Ubisoft, Take-Two, etc. Lots of good devs here.

F-35 variants can do naval ops. I'd be in for an F-35 sim.

Ah yes guod nailed it. I love carrier sims. Way back i loved Hornet 3.0 from GraphSim and also Jane's CS F/A-18 (also their F-15). The one from GraphSim was something. Not too many textures but high in detail with high polygon count. Gimme 2560x1440 instead of crazy amounts of texture maps. Granted nowadays cards are significantly better than the old days. So getting back to the topic, I guess there's something special about completing a mission and then having to land on the aircraft carrier. Don't get me wrong, I love Falcons (Falcon 4.0?), Eagles, etc.

So maybe 20mm is right, how about an F-35 sim carrier-based? Actually why not just have that plane with its multiple variants, sort of like something for everyone? You get missions for the Air Force, Marines, and Navy plus the Royal Navy. In a sense, like MW2 does with elite forces in its story. wink

You know what sim I miss? Tornado. Gosh I loved going NOE at top speed and the dual cockpit mode was a first for a sim back then (i think). Digital Integration was amazing back then. Hmm, if a company was willing to spend some serious $$$, they can easily be elite in the world of sims, there's no competition.

Ooops I digress. DCS is still making some great stuff I see. I loved Flanker! The first was the most realistic I've ever seen in flying dynamics. I wonder if A-10 is the same. I would love to try that one.

Oh sorry guod, didn't answer the console question. I haven't picked up Operation Flashpoint: DR. I was hoping it would be on sale on the boxing day specials but nothing yet. I definitely will pick it up as I want to play it. Maybe after a few more patches, it'll be where it should be. I guess we always hope.

I added you on XBL by the way.
