Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hello Folks, I've just been sent these new pictures of the F-16 to wet your appetite. The pictures are large to show the detail better. Hopefully they'll tide you over for a day or two :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldgardner 2 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Wonderful pictures of what will undoubtably be another superb aircraft from Aerosoft. Can I hear the clamour for an early relase date already? Keep up the superb work guys !! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian S. 0 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 :shock: VERY nice. My video card, processor, and RAM just wet themselves, though, and are now cowering behind my sound card. Any news on performance (say, in comparison to the Accelleration F-18) that I can comfort them with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian S. 0 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I meant the F-18. I forgot you can't type an "8" and a ")" so close together. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpmiles 0 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Wow - gotta love that Thunderbirds skin. This is simply the best digital representation of an F16 I've seen. Sold! Can't wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrepid 2 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 For the longest time my favorite bird has been slow and ughly (A-10) after looking at those screen shots I think I have been sold as well, fast and sexy thats the next one on my wish list Pleeeeease the shorter the delay to full sales the better Randy ( thanks for the new pics Shaun ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesChams 108 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Now you're talking my language... Keep up the good work! Now, If I can convince you gents ($$$), to make an F-14 and F-22 just as nice as this bird, please don't hesitate to let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dag Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Great you like the screenies and apologies of a bad ILS approach to RWY33 at Ørland. Always so windy up there Get a 24" able to run 1920x1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My video card, processor, and RAM just wet themselves, though, and are now cowering behind my sound card. Any news on performance (say, in comparison to the Accelleration F-18) that I can comfort them with? No, for sure it will be more heavy on framerates because the model is many times more complex. But it is highly optimized so it should not be too bad. The F-16 is one of our 'future proof' projects where we explore what is possible. Unlike the Twin Otter where performance was one of the main design conditions, the F-16 is allowed to stress current hardware. Just like the A-10, Seahawk and Manhattan in FS2004. Those were hard on hardware when they were launched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dag Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 That said, with not too much crap on the ground with DX10 and Xpack, my F-16 beta have better FPS then the F-18. Remember now that we are testing/developing with a merged "outside/inside" model and not a "divided" one like it will be at the end of development. Also there are a few steam gauges to be added. In the finished product, when in VC you'll only load a model containing the VC itself and the stuff to be seen without leaning "through" the gold coated super clear canopy, and is a smaller mdl alltogether eg. easier running. Don't ask me of FPS figures, I have a "matured" system. Mind you, trying some "Hot Shots" downtown Vegas Flying will be heavy on hardware no matter at 500 kias.

Brian S. 0 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Thanks for the info. I have a pretty good system, so that does ease my mind. Looking forward to seeing what's possible. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dag Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 All the above is with bloom enabled in DX10 except the Thunderbird aircraft. Bloom is not really needed but will add to the overall impression of the aircraft. With a glossy paint scheme like the T.bird and also partly the Belgian/Dutch demo, the effect is too great. I believe it's question of reducing the diffuse alpha and spec alpha a bit. Thanks for the interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Hoffmann 4160 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 And is there a possibility to make dogfights an a multiplayer arena? As I know todays aerial military shooting training goes with laser or IR beam and special receivers on target machines, so you know when your time is over BEEP BEEP BEEP... Could this not be programmed as a little subroutine? Surely I dont await that I can durandal the Paderborn runway LOL...but a little dogfight is good for the hot-air-tigers....and a SIERRA HOTEL list... Oh...and think over something like AEROSOFT RED FLAG?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLIM 0 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 How will the systems compare to F4 OF? How realistic is the Radar? Will you be able to open the mfd screens and move them around in the 3d pit or seperate windows? mainly for pit builders Will there be anyway way to drop bombs (laser, GPS, DUMB)? If you can make these things happen - you will win alot of F4 fliers Just need a campaign engine and this will have it all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinFlyer 8 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Some more large previews. This time of some USAF paints I've been working on lately.

VinFlyer 8 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thanks guys, the Wulf Pack paint is still there (like all other paints shown earlier), i thought only to show you new paints.

Doc0301 0 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hi there, First my sincere Congratulations I fly OF4.5. I saw this link over at GF and was swept of my feet. Those graphics !!! (Just look at that reflection of the sun in the sea !!! That cockpit !!! WOW !!!). Now, sorry for the noob questions, but: What system requirements are needed to run this? Which programs do I need? Is this an extension of 'Microsoft Flight Simulator'? Can I use my HOTAS Cougar and TrackIR Pro4 with this? How realistic is the flightmodel? As realistic as OF4.5? Are the Radar, weaponsystems, navigation, radio, datacartridge, etc... as realistic as in OF4.5? Is the 3d cockpit clickable? Is it possible to fly training missions/campaigns? Why is there no pilot? etc... Again my congratulations !! I'll be watching your progress with interest. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
