On The Horizon - A New Combat Sim
Posted: Sunday, October 17, 2010 - 18:22
Aerosoft and Thunderworks Ltd. have created a partnership for the development and publication of a totally new combat flight simulator for the PC Windows platform. Under the title "Jet Thunder" it will allow the virtual combat pilot to fight for air supremacy over the South Atlantic during the Falklands/Malvinas conflict in 1982.
In the first release the user will be flying an RAF Harrier from the detailed HMS Hermes and battle the Argentinean fighters in support of the Fleet Air Arm Sea Harriers, defend the British ships from attack, prepare the landing operations and provide close air support for the Royal Marines and Paratroopers. The Harrier is expertly modeled and fully operational. From a 'cold and dark' start, all the way to shut down the systems are as they are in the real aircraft. In 2011 there will be additions that expand the project to Argentinean aircraft, more British aircraft and more game play.
Interesting or tacky...? Depends what end of the Atlantic you come from i suppose...
