The last month everybody is just talking about b 17 II. What about other sims in development. Does anyone know a release date for, stormbird, Il2 sturmovik or flight combat? And a very interesting question is, what are the min. requirements for these new sims? It will be very disappointing you waited half a year or longer for a good flight sim and then you find out that your pc is to slow. I would be crying I think.

Do you know about www.bombs-away.net for B-17II stuff? Their FAQ has stuff on machine specs. There is a very lively forum there also.

I agree. I don't need it, even if there are features like "positive influence on the tail gunner's abilities" "walking through the plane", "never repeating trees" or "fractal calculated terrain". What I need is a sim like Fighters Anthology focussed on WW2, including more than only the 1944 Standard (38, 47, 51, 109, 190, 262, 17, 24, 26, 88,111). Where are ... (I don't start, the list would be too long) So I wait for Stormbirds. And I don't need the ultimate terrain shaping like USAF. I just want a big bunch of planes (100 or so

)planes that are thrilling to fly, able to fight and give me the feeling of being there.
Btw., I've heard that the engine of FCTOE could be extremly "hardware-hungry" (means: under 10fps if you don't have P500/Athlon + TNT2Ultra), like in FU3.
Furthermore, there are rumors going on in some Forums, that Janes an Looking Glass are doing "the ultimate WW2 Sim" together. I belive it the day I play the demo.

the sim that Janes and Looking Glass are doing together is Flight Combat. EA was the distributor of Flight Combat and EA is Janes more or less. Looking Glass turned over what they had on Flight Combat months ago to EA and after that on their forum they said there was some exciting changes that EA wanted them to make to it. ANd soon after that their forum closed till after the first of the year. Now months later it is announced in PC Games Mag that Janes has a top secret WWII sim and guess what? I bet EA decided the sim looked good and had Looking GLass add their idea and now EA is wanting Janes to endorse/get involved with it cause they like it.
Funny how things work

anyway i bet it will be kick ***
