Also, RoF, DCS and all the other sims you mentioned have difficulty options. They are not "100% default difficulty" affairs.

NOOB! I go back to F-15 Strike Eagle. The ground had actual GRID LINES lol. Man, I just went back and looked at some of the footage of the flight sim games I have played. I look at what I used to think of as the sh!t and wonder what I was thinking (Aces over Europe, Aces of the Pacific). We have come a long way.

Let's be honest, Oleg is thinking bigger than SoW. We are already talking about how great the land warfare could be (totally unconfirmed future development). The game is going to be "scalable". Newbs are going to be able to jump in and fly. Old vets are going to have cool switches to click. They are designing a game that has "legs" and will go further than SoW.

Smart!

Noob too, you!

I go back to F-16 Fighting Falcon(Amiga 500, that game was sooo cool!), actually even FS2(on Atari, but FS2 sucked).

Just to remember:



Can't believe I played that, lol.

The 1980's PC version of F-16 Fighting Falcon had a good campaign mode whereby you flew one mission yourself and set targets for other flights under your control. Its something that would be nice to have in SOW.

The coolest(arcade) Sim of the 90's was Strike Commander.

I last played in '95 on friend's computer.
Never finished the campaign.
Last year I remembered and had this strange urge to finish it.
Bought a copy of SC on ebay for £1, installed dosbox and did it. lol

On the other hand: This thread is already dead. the important posts are on page one.
