You can’t go wrong with Ron Paul and scenes from the Terminator…

It’s actually T2 - Judgment Day.

43

Heck on my first look…I thought it might be footage from The Day After…

44

Oh.:cry:
The day after… that’s a movie that really did hit me in the right/wrong spot.

Sombre and crushing. I loved it… and it really tore me apart.

Few other movies hit so close home.

45

The sequel ‘The Day After The Day After Tomorrow’ really bombed though, which spoiled plans for ‘The Day After About A Week Tuesday’ which was the one I was looking forward to. :slight_smile:

Uh. Please, let’s not mix up stuff.
“The day after” is a masterpiece about the outcome of a nuclear war.
“The day after tomorrow” is… a movie… with lotsa snow. And… dunno I fell asleep.

:smirk: just saying.

Ah, yep - makes sense now. :slight_smile: I thought you and @BeachAV8R were just not typing the full title. The Day After is a league above the snowy one…

I hope the cooperative dynamic campaign will more than make up for the time we have to spend as forever alones.

I will. when are we seeing mudspike stuff from the review versions? :smiley:

55

It’ll be a couple of weeks would be my best guess. We’re not a newspaper, more a journal :wink:

Also, as it’s Early Access it looks like some of the juicy things like Dynamic Campaign are a work in progress, and as reviews tend to stick around for a long time we don’t want to rush it out.

Ok @Sryan, it’s been 40min - How about now?

Quick thoughts:

  • It’s very much early access
  • Some models appear WIP, others look pretty good. The MiG-21 model looks untextured (?)
  • My control mappings reset upon restarting the game, not sure if there was a save option I missed
  • Flight model feels good, it won’t go supersonic or anything crazy. Has good acceleration, bleeds speed in the turn. Not sure how realistic, but it feels nice.
  • Two maps, Straights of Hormuz and Oahu. The Oahu map is based around MCAS Kaneohe, and does not have Honolulu Intl/Hickam.
  • Clickable pit
  • Game graduated from the Tsuyoshi Kawahito school of main menu hard rock music. Cum Laude.
  • Haven’t tried actually bombing/killing anything on account of aforementioned control mapping issue.

Now I’m off to lunch.

How is the colour correction? Can you change it?

Not my video but for people curious about it.

Early Access is a double-edged sword, in that early reviews can be brutal but sometimes it good to get things going with a release. The way I see it is that this is a very rare new entrant in the tiny flight sim niche, and it’s exciting. I don’t mind it not all complete as yet, and am just happy there is a developer in this space that wants to make games/sims like this. :mudspike:

Save option is easy to miss, it’s on the bottom right of the control binding menu where you select which category of control you want to bind. Needs some kind of autosave feature for sure.

Agree with everything else you said, especially that it’s very early access.

I’ve found that it crashes to desktop if I use certain weapons and some of the tutorials are broken, but this is an initial build and it ‘feels’ alright. Look forward to seeing how it turns out.
