Hi No105_Rigger,
Thanks for the suggestions!
Let's see, some random replies...
Night Missions - absolutely! We have cool dynamic light sourcing effects, it would be shame not to show them off in night missions!
FAC - maybe... we'll be experimenting with this to make sure we have something that is easy for the player to understand and have fun with.
Communications - yes.
In-flight refueling - probably not.
Next waypoint button - sure.
Fly as backseater - probably, but it won't be very useful in the initial release... we'll be automating most of the backseater functions so the game is playable by single player...
In-flight emergencies - well, generally, I don't like to put this in the game because its something the player has absolutely no control over... the player could be doing everything right, but due to some random chance, the player is unable to successfully complete the mission... that might be realistic, but that doesn't make for good gameplay, in my book... If we do have some emergencies, it'll be some function of the player action (ie, things could break when the player pulls too much G, for example).
Ajax, we have no plan to include F-105 in the initial release... you must be thinking about the comment I made about F-100 Wild Weasel...
