Hey guy's,

Can you please ask AMVI_Jeremy to register himself on the forums, so I can arrange his Area51 forum access??
Let him pop me an email when he did and I'll get him settled ASAP.

Thanks for your help!

Intervista Tv a Dirk "Pacman" - Vice president Q & A

Traduzione (by BelgianTiger_6 - Beta Tester):

I'm Dirk, I'm exectuvie at XSI, a company that is currently developing a new flight simulator for the PC.

A Belgian game developer?

It is an American company but several Belgian persons are involved.
FighterOps is a modern combat jet flight simulator. We have done research on all the old, and current flight simulators and we have tried to combine all the good concepts from those others into one sim. So we have gathered a group of modders from MS FS, Falcon, Lomac, IL2. These persons work together pure out of love for simulators. At the moment, no one from this group is getting paid, so you can't really have a better product than the one from a group modders that join together to make a sim out of love for it.

How long have you been working on it , what is the current status?

We are now working on it for about a year, we have been able to purchase the X-Plane code, which helped us a great deal. We are currently in the prototype phase, which means that we are currently adding piece by piece everything that we wanted to incorporate and we are testing it. We have the cockpit, the airplane, there is no flight model yet but you can look around within the cockpit; TrackIR is supported

You have also taken photographs from the hangars, airplanes? Maybe you can tell something extra about the research?

Yes, thats correct, we are lucky that we got in contact with the US ministery of defence, and they are supporting us very well. We received acces to military bases. The first release will let the pilot enter within the usaf, and he'll receive his training. So it was very important to receive acces to Laughlin AB, we got permission to take photographs, make audio recordings, within and without the cockpit.

When I hear you talking about the word Simulator, my reaction is, this will be for a limited group of players or will there be an option to select for a more acradish play?

In the flight sim community there are 2 groups. The harcore group, and the more casual flightsimmers. For the casual simmers, there are allready many sims available: Lomac, IL2. We are going to have 2 modules, 1 for the hardcore group, where few realism options can be altered; everything will be full realism. The casual group will be able to fly this sim like any other sim. So iits perfectly possible to just jump into an F16, online and fly against or with other players.

Okay Dirk, this looks very interesting, we will certainly follow this project in the future, so if there are any updates keep us informed. Thanks for visting us and good luck.

Ok Thanks.

Ps: Spoilerando dal diario di sviluppo n° 9 l'intera sequenza di eiezione sarà  specificamente animata

[Pacman]

If there we're people that have been there during the TS meeting where Wipsnake explained the working of an ejection seat......you would be able to start having an idea how detailed this is going to be

La domanda la faccio in italiano e spero che Pacman la comprenda comunque:
Darete la possibilita a sviluppatori esterni di produrre add-on per FO, un pò come accade per FS?
FO prevede l'apertura di più finestre contemporaneamente sul monitor?
ciao!
