Checking in after many years... what is the status of FC2?

[Jodet]

I see I can buy it.  Does what you buy in November 2022 have career mode, campaigns, tutorials?  You know, stuff you can get in ROF.

 

So where is this franchise now?   

 

Any comments from folks who went ahead and bought it very welcome.   

 

I bought FC1 even though there wasn't much there  to show my support for WW1 sims.    Beginning to think that was not money well spent.

Latest info is that FC2 and career comes out in february 2023. So some three (long) months to go ?

In short:

 

FC2 planes have been released.  Map is nearing completion,  quick mission update will follow new map release.   DM fixes are currently being worked on. 

 

And...over 100 players on the Flugpark for the last Sunday night fun fest..?

Oh sorry, has there been any updates to FC2 that I might have missed?

 

No there hasn't.  So my comment is completely correct.

 

OP asked "So where is this franchise now?". 

 

Not "So where will this franchise be in an undefined period of time?".

 

(Sigh) Again, it's plainly obvious you've not been paying attention to anything posted recently, or else you'd had refrained from posting what amounts to nothing more than exaggerated hyperbole. Besides the Development Diary update last week, Han and Loft took quite a few questions about the state of FC in their YouTube interview. If you'd watched that you'd know that this "oh, we're just getting a bunch of broken FMs and nothing more" is a laugh.

Last time I'll comment on this thread.

 

OP asked what the current state of play is.  I answered.

 

OP didnt ask what the future state of play will be.  And I have not commented on this.  So the most recent commitments in posts and DD's I have not commented on in this thread.

Well, I guess I'll buy it when it goes on sale. 

 

I'm guessing that happens between November and January.

There’s a book coming soon containing some very sophisticated models of ww1 aircraft performance written by an accomplished professional aerospace engineer. Check out Ander’s website https://militaryaircraftperformance.com

 

Book is due soon and he has already given us a taste of the content with some very interesting data showing what Rise of Flight got largely right or may need tweaking. Short of building exact replicas and pushing them to the limit we won’t get a better resource.

Make FM claims in the appropriate place with the appropriate documentation please.

Provide documentation from a book that has yet to be published? At any rate, some info on the subject is referenced in another thread.

I will once it’s been published! Anders has already shared some of the data on another thread. Thanks
