If you think a video released in January of 2011 means they are STILL alive. At the website, the newest dated announcement was July 2011. So no activity for 6 months? Even Fighter Ops is more "up to date" in the competition to see which game officially becomes vaporware first: Fighter Ops, Jet Thunder, or the Seven-G F/A-18 Simulator. Of course Targetware really won the first round, but at least they had public beta releases that mostly worked before shutting completely down. Third Wire and HiTech Creations are the only small "indie" air combat sim developers who have showed any real ability to deliver a product to market, but with their small staff and budgets, they aren't exactly "cutting edge" games in the graphics area and Third Wire gives up quite a bit in the detail/realism side and has completely abandoned multiplayer as well. Both both of these games have steadily improved SIGNIFICANTLY since I first played them. Aces High in the fall of 2000 and SFP1 as soon as it appeared at Walmart in a terrible press-release condition in 2002. Modern games are too complicated to build from scratch and the technology changes are pretty much too fast to keep up with incremental improvements. I don't know how DCS keeps up. Russian labor must be very cheap, and even then they can't keep up with the complexity and have to collect more money via addons to finish patching bugs.

Well this video poped up in my subscription feed yesterday so I assumed it was new.

Look in their forums. Don`t know why they did not update the website, though.

Too bad, I was looking forward to this game...I loved the flight model in the demo.

Back to BMS and DCS then I guess!

I think the news of our demise has been greatly exaggerated. AI work is still moving along and the campaign is being written. A few systems to polish, but there is good progress being made. There isn't a lot of traffic on the forum, so it looks a little quiet, but we're getting there.

Also, the video was erroneously dated in 2011, when it was in fact 2012.

Posting "year old" videos is not the way to make it look like you are making progress
Nearly all the websites I frequently visit are terrible about providing current updates... with the exception of HiTech Creations and Third Wire. If you have "dated" material on your main page, why I am even going to bother with forums? Over the years, it seems about half of the announced sims make it to a playable release, and less than half of those stick around for the long haul with patch support, addons, and/or sequels. My favorite games, Aces High, Strike Fighters, and OFP/ArmA have thankfully gone the distance.

Nice to hear CMatt, I'll keep my fingers crossed for a release anyway!

Nice, thanks for the updates everyone.

When you have small development teams working on big projects you'd much rather be working on the sim then hangin in the chat room.
I say, let them work and quite the negativity. It's not like flight sims are flying off the shelves nowadays anyway. Some are doing it for the love first, for the money second. Build it, and they will come. Yes, you don't have the big budgets but you can add things in to your hearts desire without a CEO screaming for an un-finished product to go out the door. Patience grasshoppers....

why even #%&*$# about it? did they charge you money? FFS man be happy you got to even try it out. jackasses.

Nice

That CEO is making sure it doesn't become vaporware, and frankly, by developer standards, there has never been a "finished" software product in history. Never has a dev stood back and gone "yup,every single thing I wanted to put in there is finished."

All these vaporware devs fall victim to feature creep as there's no publisher to step in and say "enough is enough."

Besides some more vids/screen-shots never hurt anyone.

Will you shoot down the tanker and post a video of that? Everyone likes to shoot down the tanker.

That was f'n awesome. What a tease though.

The flight model looks great!

Wow! That looks like a LOT of work has gone on since the alpha. Any chance of getting a new version to demo that looks like that?

"admin" over at their forum has stated several times that there won't be any more demos for us.

Looks like terrain need's lot of work, textures are very,very low res
