I just read this on http://www.gonegold.com.

"The next game was a real pleasant surprise. I've been a long time fan of Graphic Sims, the company behind the excellent F/A-18 Korea. Originally, they designed sims for the MAC and moved over to the PC for a while. Not hearing anything from them in such a long time, I assumed they went back to making MAC games and left the PC.

Within the next couple of months however, we'll be hearing from them again with Precision Strike Fighter, a game that will be using the F/A-18 Korea engine, but is a totally new game. While Xicat didn't have an exact release date for the game, they mentioned that September was looking like a strong possibility. Add one to Flight Sims. "


Has anyone else heard about this new sim?

Hummm, first time I've heard about this. Plus it appears that it isn't coming out under the GSC banner. I wonder if it is an archade aircraft simulation or a more detailed sim at least on the order of GSC's F/A-18 Hornet series.

Hey Varmint - any comments?

Well, I believe Xicat is the publisher for X-Plane. That is anything but an arcade game.

Heh, talk about out of the loop. I never even heard of it. I'll see what I can find out. Judging from the titles I saw on that webpage, I wouldn't hold out too much hope for hardcore. Looks like they're doing alot of console stuff.

Dear God, he we bloody go again.

Another year before the bloody Gold patch comes out, maybe 2 years before the first patch for this new sim comes out.

Hell, with 1 guy or even the whole team of "5" working on it, its gonna be a long while. Dammit.

Hey folks, let's speculate.

Title: Precision Strike Fighter.
Well now, there is only one official "Strike Fighter" and that's the F/A-18. I suppose the F-15E could be similarly titled, but officially, the F/A designation says: Strike Fighter.

Its the precision bit that concerns me. Yep the F/A-18 is pretty good for precision strike, but...dunno, sounds a bit...redundant for a sim?

:-)

This five minutes of idle speculation has been brought to you by...

OK, here it is. I was not able to get ahold of who I wanted to because they're off at MacWorld NY right now. Apparently "Precision Strike Fighter" IS Korea Gold. GSC is using Xicat for distribution. It's possible that it will be good news if it forces more new features. Who knows. Wait 'til I find out more directly from Jeff before we start to speculate too much on what this means.

Hello,
Looks like Jon is correct and Xicat may market GSC F/A-18 Gold ver for PC as the "F/A-18 Precision Strike Fighter". Site says 3rd quater release. Heres more info.

Web site
http://www.xicat.com/games/FA18.htm

I guess SimHQ has to Re-name this message board.

Just got off the phone with Xicat. F/A-18 Precision Strike Fighter is the new name, so the forum name will change as well. Have a preview copy inbound and will get back with you guys soon.
