at last some competition for CloD ?

It looks beautiful. If all you want to do is head up for a scenic flight, then this looks like the way to go for now.
I had a thought when I watched the startup sequence.
I think that even in a "one click startup" mode, we should see all of the switches and levers that are needed in the startup sequence being moved in the appropriate order.
Is there an option for "advanced startup" in the menu? This should certainly be a option for an online server. Even if all it takes is one push of a button in the sim, the sequence should still be simulated.

Nice model and good sounds indeed. The flight model looks broken though from the video. Not convinced it's that good but I haven't flown it.

But wow, they sell a plane for more than the entire CloD costs, probably including expansion...
To call this a competitor is irony at best.


It is NOT hard to make a pretty model fly. It's hard to do the netcode for combat with tons of planes and possibly thousands of bullets leaping through 3d space with realistic ballistics, damage model, to create a graphics engine handling huge areas of detailed terrain etc.
The effort required to make a model like this compared to the above is probably 1/10000000000th of what is required to make a game like CloD. Not kidding.
