wingnuts : will the flight model hit saturation point? or be flyable to a thick skulled person like me?

arnold.hendrick : We plan to have realism settings for the flight model. The F-4 was a VERY tricky plane to fly in certain regimes. On the other hand, we are also going to unbelievable extremes when it comes to accurate flight modeling...keep an eye on our press announcements in the future... you may see some eye-popping surprises in this department that may just take the industry by storm.

dead_man_flying : So AW:V allows for pilot and WSO flying simultaneously? I remember there being some discussion about the difficulty of implementing this.

arnold.hendrick : It is theoretically possible, in the USAF versions of the F-4, for the pilot and WSO to fight for control of the plane. We haven't decided whether we will just let the pilot win. In all the other two-seaters, the non-pilot didn't have controls to truly fly the plane ... probably a wise move. :)

seal : how are the missiles modeled ? arnold.hendrick : The missiles have their own flight model and guidance model, based on the actual weapons...we have some very remarkable people helping with that...and as I mentioned before, the missiles of this era had a lot of limitations and problems. Picking a good missile shot in this time period is a very fine art.

kevlar : Why do a jet sim, when for so many years AW has been a ACM (guns ) game using WWII fighters?

arnold.hendrick : Well, we wanted to branch out into a new period... something nobody has done much at all about.. ...and we really wanted to get a good massively multiplayer online JET game going...since there's plenty of competition in WWII already...and of course, the war itself is very different and very interesting. Oh, and....we aren't afraid of a little experimentation

quickster : Is the Macintosh being considered in future flight-sim development?

arnold.hendrick : We are not working on a Mac version of Air Warrior: Vietnam. Can't say beyond that, as I mentioned before.

zyr : what will the game requirements be (hardware)?

arnold.hendrick : We haven't said yet, sorry... You'll want a very powerful system by current standards, but then, the game doesn't have an announced date yet.

acidox : will we get to drive non aircraft vehicles?

arnold.hendrick : Sorry, in AW:Vietnam you can only drive airplanes. There aren't many other things to drive, actually. :)
