Rick_Rawlings Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 I had some Korean BBQ with someone you guys know tonight in Vegas. He says "Hi" and to hold onto your hats! https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonvwil/ 28 2 5
FlyingNutcase Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Ha, awesome. Jason's looking upbeat. And great food!
PaladinX Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Bring some good flight sims to Microprose, Jason! ? 6
Lusekofte Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Yeah Microprose , that make sense get those B 17 flying 1
Chief_Mouser Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Not the B-17, that's already announced. Dare one whisper the P-word?
tattywelshie Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Well that's very exciting! Those of us of a certain vintage have amazingly fond memories of flight sims produced Microprose, looks like the old times are coming back!
DBFlyguy Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Congrats to Jason! Definitely looking forward to this new project he'll be working on.

Jason is now "Executive Producer" at MicroProse, thus, theoretically, he will pilot all projects in the company, including the B-17 games. Godspeed Jason! 4 2
JimTM Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Well done Jason! My best wishes for your future success.

Jade_Monkey Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Cool! Glad for him and also for flight sims in general! 1
No105_Swoose Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Great to see Jason smiling. Hope 2023 has started well for him. Hmm…. I wonder if there is any significance to the choice of a Korean BBQ restaurant vis-a-vis’ the setting for the next 1CGS game?

DragonDaddy Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 New Executive Producer at Microprose working on a new unannounced project. I like the sound of “new unannounced project”. There’s always room for more new toys! And the older toys, too. I wonder who will announce their new project first? 1
Voidhunger Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 I hope its a late war europe theater in which i can finally fly my belowed Me163.
Frequent_Flyer Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Congrats to Jason, fingers crossed we have a viable shot to land on an aircraft carrier or a coral sand landing strip sometime in the near future.
timothy55 Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Happy New Year and Well done Jason. I have no doubt you will achieve big time in your new position.
S10JlAbraxis Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Best of luck Jason! Perhaps a remake of - 1942: The Pacific Air War? 2 1
Canvas25 Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Good luck Jason! We will follow what happens in your world
Noisemaker Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Microprose could use this kick in the ass after all these years. I hope Jason can give it to them. If not, then maybe Janson. Patiently waiting on those B-17 releases (Well, maybe not that patiently). 1

Or European Air War...or something different. This is obviously related to the B-17 project though, so I'm sure they'll be using the same graphics/game world engine. This is going to be the first sim built from the ground up with vr in mind so that's something. I'm too young for EAW (just barely), but the videos I've seen of the game play, graphics, presentation, and immersion for the time looked to be groundbreaking so I think Jason + Micropose could be a really good thing for us simmers. 1
Gambit21 Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Best of luck and best wishes to Jason and his endeavors. It's a really great time for flight sims right now. 1

PB0_Roll Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Hello Rick. Best of luck with next projects, Jason.

Furni Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Congratulations Jason, looking forward the future project what ever it may be ??
Mad_Mikhael Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Glad to hear that Jason is already working! ? (Not that he doesn't deserve a vacation ?). MicroProse + Jason sounds exciting! 1
Pollux Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 This is very good news for all simulation fans. good luck and happy new year. 1

343KKT_Kintaro Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 4 minutes ago, theRedPanda said: Tell me the next expansion for il2 without telling me the next expansion for il2... It depends on what precise exact term has been used on the menu at this restaurant in Vegas. a) If the restaurant owners used the term "bulgogi"... then, sure, absolutely sure, the theatre of operations in the next survey type of MicroProse is Korea in the 1950s. b) If the restaurant owners used the term "yakiniku"... then, sure, absolutely sure, the theatre of operations in the next survey type of MicroProse is the Pacific in the 1940s. The above is proven-demonstraded scientific fact and shouldn't be the subject of further discussion. Enough is enough, only I me myself discovered the very truth about Jason's next project. End of story! ? 1
Boomerang Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Thanks Rick for the post, much appreciated. Think Jason mentioned he liked Micropose's B-17's somewhere within these forums in the past, geez, had no idea it was that much :) This is great news.
Mad_Mikhael Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) So what we know so far, an unannounced project and no EAW. Edited January 7, 2023 by Mad_Mikhael
