I hear you. I'd like mid-air refueling, crowded and animated flight deck, more plane to plane and plane to tower comms, detailed briefing and debriefing rooms like the good ol' days.(Like click on the chalk board to make flight plan, click on filing cabinet to read intel, sit in the chair and watch projector movie and listen to CO give briefing)

NO MP or RIO Mode, and im pretty sure all the E-2C will do is call out Target Bearings for the Mission.

Despite these sim series belonging to the "lite sim" category, IMO it wouldn't be hard implement a Data-Link system (albeit a simplified one). All we need is a code that triggers targets that are within the E-2 radar range (an E-2 must be present, of course) to appear in the player's F-14 radar scope (even if for some reason the player's F-14 radar isn't picking up those same targets). Like I said this doesn't need to be something too "fancy" or detailed -> It's basically something like this:
- If an enemy target or enemy targets are within the range and detected by the E-2 radar than that ot those targets will appear in the player's F-14 radar scope (even if the player's radar isn't picking up those same target). Those targets would appear in the radar as HAFU simbology, like in real life.
- If an enemy target or enemy targets is out of range from the E-2 radar than NO target will appear in the player's F-14 radar scope (unless the player's radar is actually detecting that or those same targets, of course). The same also happens if NO E-2 is present (for example: the E-2 was shot down or for some other reason crashed or returned to base).

Actually if I'm not mistaken something "similar" to this already happens in SF/SF2 when playing with "easy" dificulty/avionincs settings where all targets appear on the radar scope no matter where the player's radar is scanning at.

FROGGER!

Is that a Ticonderoga?

Sure looks like a Tico....

Looks like a Spruance.

I thought that air launched Harpoon has only jet engine?

Really looking forward to it....

Looks like a Kirov class cruiser.

Minsk Helicopter Carrier/Cruiser.

The Forger looks to be turning away from a firing Spruance class.

No, that is the sustainer motor. The AGM-84 also had an impulse rocket engine to get it up to speed, and away from the launching platform. I think the ones tested in bomber drops only had a sustainer motor as they dropped from aircraft rather than be launched by them. I do not think those types were ever fielded in service.

That's the one I was talking about.

I hope we can edit that water colour, though still an improvement over the old one.

new screens

Snow on mountains is convincing, clouds less so and I still stand by what I said about whater.
Still looks nice.

Thanks for info.

Oh, I'm sure I'll be using the clouds from NATO4 pack. Check the screenshot thread, I posted some pics a few days ago. Agree with you on the water issue.

Aye, Arthur!
I use that too... great mod, really.

Makes me wonder why TK doesn't make it part of the engine.
You know, you give the guys a free copy of each game/dlc you release and in exchange they keep pumpin'out great stuff.
