Thought I would answer some questions about Wings Over Vietnam really quick: 1) Yes 2) Yes 3) Sorry, no 4) Resounding Yes Hope that helps (grin). OK, now to be a little more serious. The game is a sim in the same vein as others made by TK and his crew at Thirdwire . They have been working on this one for a while now, and it is looking fantastic. Thridwire have taken the time to drastically increase the potency of there engine, and this game really shows it off. As you can see from the screen shots, carrier landing and takeoffs are just one of the many improvements. For more information, screen shots, and what not the official site is WOVGame.com . The site will be updated with more shots and information as time allows. Someone asked for a screenshot of a cockpit…here you go, this is from the F 105.

They say the tape guages are the easiest to use. Needle just goes up and down instead of round and round. Kinda like the Su~27 fuel guage from Flaker sim, but that is split into two tapes that overlap, bizzaro.

Now what exactly does the fancy "tape gauge" give you that is so important?
IIRC the tape gauges were much easier to read when going low and fast, which was very bumpy.

The tapes display speed, altitude, vertical speed and a whole load of other information.

Absolutelly agree Joe  Hope that DIANE is modeled... This would be the second sim ever to model an A-6B out the box. The first was Flight of the Intruder. Still the best encarnation of the Vietnam War in a sim IMHO.

Here's a description of DIANE :
DIANE System
Digital Integrated Attack Navigation Equipment
AN/APQ-92
Main search radar, provide both a navigation and attack facility
AN/APQ-122
Tracking radar for terrain mapping and traget location
AN/APN-141
Low altitude (up to 1524m -5000 ft) radar altimeter
AN/APN-153
Doppler radar for navigation and to provide ground speed and drift angles for ballistic computer
AN/ANS-31
Inertial navigation system, provide data on heading altitude and horizontal and vertical velocities
AN/ASQ-57
Integrated electronic control system
AN/ASQ-61
Ballistic Computer, provides flight pattern data, cruise control and data for weapons selection, fuzing and delivery
AN/ASW-16
Three axis autopilot
AN/AVA-1
Pilots display unit, provide data on flight parameters, such as terrain clearance
CPA-728A
Air data computer which provides altitude static pressure, Mach number and airspeed information for the ASW-16, the AVA-1 and the conventional flight instrument
I have to say I don't envy the avionics programmer, although I'm sure a lot of it can be abstracted in the game.

I have absolutely no idea if the B version will be in the game or not, but both the Shrike and Standard ARM are already in Strike Fighters so it doesn't seem impossible.

Seriously, doesnt that half open F105 pit look slightly weird ? Kind of like a mixture of IL-2 and SFP1 ?

Oops, sorry I thought the B was the most common during the Vietnam War, but You are right. Then aggain since SEAD weapons are allready modeled in SF:P1 we might get both versions . And I want to fly SEAD missions a la Flight of the Intruder´s Hollywood incarnation...

Curious about this myself. If there is no mission builder and a way to fly custom made missions then that's a huge let down for me. A big part of Multiplayer is flying custom coops and custom head to head missions.IMO

We got a 3rd party mission editor that works great and it even has a tutorial.
