Guys

Here is a small sneak preview of the upcoming MAIW Topgun package. The shots are of tests going on of the Miramar main ASP.

Hope this will stir up some interest and tease you a little. Wait for the teaser video which Im going to be doing this weekend. LOL

Looks great, Nick ! Cannot wait for the package. Hope it will not impact my PC (1,6GHz, 1240MB RAM, Intel 915GM Graphics 128MB RAM) too much?

It probably will a little, but the ammount of aircraft there will drop dramatically, when the Flight plans are done. Most will be off on flights most of the time. I get really good frame rates even with all these aircraft on the pan, because of the fact that they are low-poly. What you are seeing in these shots is only about 2/3 of the pan too.

Looks good. Although this will be the first MAIW package I will not be downloading when it comes out. I like to keep my AI as up to date as possible and since the F-14 is retired in real life I am keeping it retired in my flightsim.

My virtual world is just that - MY virtual world. Therefore I have aircraft flying that I want to see. My local airbase (Wattisham EGUW) has Hunters, Lightnings and Phantoms flying in and out - all aircraft that have served there over the years. Not very realistic, sure, but these are the aircraft I want to see flying!

I already have a Miramar package installed with mostly -18's, a few -14's and a couple of F4's, but this package will definately be added to my collection.

May this whet your appetites a little more gents. These are the repaints as they stand at the moment for the TOPGUN Tomcats, A4s and the Mig-28 (still to be decided on) Tomcats shown as CAG and Low-Vis for each squadron, you can see the squadron on each repaint. Plus the TopGun students and Aggressors, including Maverick and Icemans rides.

Base F-14s:

Can't wait to put the headphones and crank up "Danger Zone"

Iceman: You two really are cowboys.
Maverick: What's your problem, Kazanski?
Iceman: You're everyone's problem. That's because every time you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous.
Maverick: That's right! Ice... man. I am dangerous.
