Competiton ahead maybe? Not sure how deep the devs will delve into the simulation though...

Yep, already aware of it, obviously they figured we were on a winning idea. From what I understand it's going to be a pretty basic game.

it looks more like a trainer or takeoff of Allied Forces(Falcon4)....how long have they been working on it?
If its a short project then i expect ....ummm...not too much...:blank:
Then again i could be wrong and its a nicely done sim....like FO and any other sim...its best to wait patiently and find out...:smile:

From what I understand they were doing research for the product only a few months ago, so it sounds like they are taking some of their earlier work and very quickly throwing a few additions in there to incorporate the T38 and T6.

All I ask is that XSI doesn't go and release FO in a hurry in order to "beat" these copycatters....this has happened before in games and has never been advantageous!

lol, no their release won't change our focus or timeline at all.

They're more for the civilian type of flyers anyways. AFAIK, it probably won't involve combat training, just Demonstration stuff.

FO however, models combat :evils:
