Shimonu Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 But, $70 for only the F-14A & B & RIO AI & A-6 AI & the soundtrack & all features available on release? Very disappointed.. Yeah! With that price they could at least include a personal foot massage and 10 hours of personal training in the Tomcat. Geez, we're barely getting anything... :music_whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ifikratis Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Bonus can only be used on old stuff or stuff that doesn't sell well. Are you sure about that? The F/18 for example is in the bonus program. Bonus cannot be applied now on the Tomcat because its on a pre-order discount. I guess when the Tomcat is released for Early Access, bonus points should apply. EDIT. Just read the bonus policy again and indeed there is no bonus for products labelled as ‘new’. Very reasonable indeed. Especially this tomcat deserves every penny and more. Heatblur deserves all respect for this piece of software masterpiece.

JumpinK Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I have a question, Can you play single player as RIO or just as pilot? Both. If you play in RIOs seat, AI-pilot flys the tomcat. (Forgot the name heatblur has mentioned) "Landing on the ship during the daytime is like sex, it's either good or it's great. Landing on the ship at night is like a trip to the dentist, you may get away with no pain, but you just don't feel comfortable" — LCDR Thomas Quinn, USN.

captain_dalan Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I have a question, Can you play single player as RIO or just as pilot? As the AI in the front seat will only have limited functionality/capability, you probably won't be able to fly the whole mission as a RIO when in single player mode. EDIT: intended use it to probably hop in the back from time to time, to do some fine tuning to what you want the RIO to be doing.

CheckGear Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 My only complaint: I hope the Jester AI command menu is still work in progress, because I think it is way too big. It shouldn't block your view every time you want to talk to your RIO. Or at least transparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrEaSeLiTeNiN Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Or at least transparent. Yep. When I first saw the trailer everything was wow until the Jester menu popped up. It could be a little more discreet or perhaps have voice activated options?

yngvef Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Yep. When I first saw the trailer everything was wow until the Jester menu popped up. It could be a little more discreet or perhaps have voice activated options? I also hope they make the menu into a normal vertical list rather than a radial menu. Radial menus are, in my opinion, only practical on console games where you select the option with a small analog stick. When you are supposed to press a number key, it's much easier to find the correct option if it's listed vertically. A minor thing perhaps, but I hope they take a look at it.

Greyman Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I'm hoping that the menu is compatible with Voice Attack and/or Vaicom Pro, so that we can just tell the RIO what we want them to do, without having to press any keys. In VR, that would be especially useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In VR, that would be especially useful. That's what I hope too. Being able to set up macros to control Jester by voice command would be a great approach. A simple key press for each command would enable us to adapt Voice Attack or any similar app. Very elegant solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
