I was really, REALLY hoping the "new" Microprose would revisit some of their famous older titles like F-19/F-117a and remake them with a modern engine just like this, but keeping the same beer and pretzels fun level. After seeing this, I kinda hope they don't bother if their development is this slow. My fingers are still crossed, because those were a big part of my early gaming memories.
It really is in need of some TLC, The Harrier itself is fine, the carriers, fine. The rest of it is pretty much no go. I will keep my fingers crossed and hope they make the correct decisions. Thank you for watching!
I’m so happy you did this review. I hope you didn’t take my past comment as a poke at you, I was just disappointed your newest review wasn’t the Huey..lol. To qualify my remarks, I bare no ill will towards MicroProse. If it wasn’t for MicroProse I probably wouldn’t be the sim fan I am now. That being said I just don’t understand them attaching their branding to this. If they had bought it out, took it off of Steam and put a crap ton of work into it they could have rebranded it with a new launch. This dev has had 8 years to come through on his promises and failed to deliver. Now they are treating this launch like it’s a new game with a whole new roadmap. I hope they fix it, I really do but I appreciate you advising the community on it’s true state. Cheers!
Agree with every word. This title has sat on Steam for years and there's been more sightings of Bigfoot than the Dev over those years ! I really thought they'd bought the guy out, purely to get the rights to the name back so they could put one of their WIP behind it, not look at rehashing an 8 plus year old project that was extremely barebones.
Microprose just got involved with this game. Probably why the new update. This game has been in early access since 2016. I was surprised they got involved with it, since the first game was by Psygnosis.
Thanks for the review, hopefully Microprose will manage to deliver all the features it promise. But, they're not getting my money before it's done with the current track record, it was 100% abandoned by the developer, before being picked up again by Microprose. The developer isn't really someone that is trustworthy in my book. Hopefully this will be a redemption act and not a repat of what already happened once.
18:52 well that terrain looks better than DCS, i dont know if you fly lower will look very bad, but the shades and the houses and industry looks actually very good, DCS dont have nothing in this area (ground eye candy) like i see here, lets be honest
i have a refund for it cause i play dcs an vtol-vr also an this is a bit of a downgrade cause the touch controllers don't match the feeling like in vtol an also when you move in vr is bit weird so refunded

Microprose had little to nothing to do with the game as it currently stands. Their contributions will not be added until the next patch.
I had no idea this was so unfinished. This game has been on sale for 8 years.

@@boresight2020I am really hoping with the new road map that we are in for a treat.
@@boresight2020 "Coming Soon" seems to be the games industry in a nutshell these days
@@SA80TAGE I couldn't agree more!!
Same with DCS

Lol just play DCS. 1000X better.
it is 4gb and alot easier for computers tho
All the DCS haters got nowhere to go.

Lol, DCS looks lightyears better. It even looks better than MSFS.
i have a refund for it cause i play dcs an vtol-vr also an this is a bit of a downgrade cause the touch controllers don't match the feeling like in vtol an also when you move in vr is bit weird so refunded
On the verge of doing that myself, If Microprose don't start pulling their finger out in the next couple of weeks.
Try falcon bms real good!!
lol the ground looks better than dcs!
Significantly better than dcs
Are you crazy? Lol
@@johnwicks4936 i got dcs.
tbh they just should have made a module for dcs would have sold better and more then this would ever
They'd be idiots to get involved with DCS. Eagle Dynamics has a really poor track record with paying their 3rd party developers.
