That is a good point..

Alot of people confuse what goes into the 3D mapping info (wire frames, elevation data points, etc) with the 3D graphics engines..

What with the detal going into these maps these days I would not be suprised that they are still around in 10 years. Oh sure the graphics engine will more than likly change greatly over the next 10 years, but the basic map info does not necessarly have to change at all. We use alot of gps data in our 3D too (RAGE) here at WSMR.. But we can scale how much of it we want to use on the fly.

As for a combined forces sim.. Emmmm if past experance means anything than I hope they dont! Because thus far every sim that tries to be all things to all people tends to do no 'one thing' very well.. I personally hope 1C sticks with the main focus on flight sims.

just to stop the repeated demands of patch release date, can U tell us If it is matter of 1-3-6-12 or 18 months waiting.
We all should promise to not ask again and again before the end of the period declared.
Thanks for supporting the game and the sequel.
Cheers

Doesn't my ask even deserve a reply? Is it a unwise question or I missed something?
No harm trying again....cheers

You won't get an answer. Maddox Games has stopped giving any kind of timeframe estimates because of the flak they caught when the last estimates turned out to have been overly optimistic.
