Mh, well, the gun is nifty, but the darn thing lacks a hyperdrive. :D

That said, I'd probably KILL for a shark mouth decal on the miliary craft in Evochron. Regulations, schmegulations...the Alliance military lacks style!

:cool: How ironic. The A-10 came into service about the same time as the F-15 and nobody wanted to be shuttled off to an A-10 assignment ... until they actually flew the plane.

I been bouncing between LOMAC 2 and BLackshark. One neat feature is the multiplayer is compatible between the two games. So it figures the A-10C will be also.

That startup sequence reminds me of why some simulators might be too much game for me. I like some realism, and I especially like the fact that you can choose a level of realism based on your abilities.

I can also see that if it takes you 10 minutes just to start the thing, you'll be a whole lot more careful about getting yourself virtually KIA. Probably trains pilots to be cautious.

Yeah that startup sequence is extreme, I dumbed it down. FYI the manuals are 400 + page long. It's 6DOF (TrackIR) is wicked though.

I think the next game is based off the Apache, though most people are hoping for Harrier.
