Banks: Ya stole my thunder ! Exactly my sentiments. I have P1 to use for a screen-shot factory.
OIF seems to be fairly complete from what Chelco says, which is outstanding. Of course they have had ample opportunity to get this game ready for prime time !
A pegged 20FPS sounds great. If that holds for a low level cluster, or napalm delivery then they got a hell of an efficient rendering system. Particle effects can really tank your FPS.
Only diff in the moving /stationary carrier is you get a little extra time to line up your approach because of a little less relative motion, and you have to use some rudder to keep correcting right, because of the angled flight deck. That's no show stopper for me. Do the carrier landings more resemble Flanker 2.5, or Janes ?
I liked the Flanker ones better for some reason. Jane's F/A-18 had cool radio chatter,lots of traffic and such, but I never really got into it for some reason. Flanker was a nice sim, but was kind of ....dry I guess. Not a slam just personal choice.
Thanks again for your updates Chelco. They are entertaining to read. Your enthusiasem for the game is infectous !
