Overdone, but fun:Midway sim vid:

No harm in taking some inspiration/influence from some of this. Not the arcade-y nature, nor the infinite ammo and unbreakable damage model, but the terror of the tracers coming up to meet you, the smoke filling the sky, the radio chatter, the feeling of being one small tooth on a cog in a grand machine; those are all things I'd welcome in a "fun" new combat flight sim.

Thanks for the reply..Nice to see an old friend from Great Battles😉

Am I correct in thinking that Combat Pilot might resemble a sort of combination of features found in Il-2 Pacific and  the current Great Battles series ( or Cliffs of Dover Desert Wings ,) or will it have some newer features available not available in older established flight sims?

These questions can't be answered yet, nobody knows...

When he first got into the cockpit, I thought, "this looks like it could be really cool." 

It quickly went downhill from there. 

After dropping the first bomb, he quickly became a double ace with unlimited ammo against slow, level flying Zeros which often appeared right in front of him. 🙄

Thanks for vid Blitzen.  I've seen this before.  It is deceptively pretty in the first couple seconds. 

Visually interesting at first glance, but terrible in every other way.  The escorts are so close they'd likely be fragged by any hit to the carrier.  They also look like they are sitting still and the water is "flowing" around them.  In short everything wrong with the modern day video game industry.  They don't understand their source material or the subject they are representing.

Hope my comments are NOT taken as a personal criticism! lol.
