Re: Double ejectee
Bill Hart posted this on our review section now he has received his boxed copy - I thought you caps may want to read it.
As someone who logged well over 1000 hours in the real thing and has checked out at least three previous Sea Vixen Flight Simulations I am more than delighted with the SkySIM product. I can only fault it for one aspect. As I was an Observer and thus flew in the coalhole as we called it, would have been nice to see that part of the cockpit included. Having said that I am more than pleased with what is delivered. It performs well on my current system (Pentium R 4 at 3GHz, 1 GB Ram,GeForce FX5900U Video Card with 256MB - 4 years old) and I anticipate even better performance with my planned Quad Core/Ge 8800 future system. Maybe a future standalone version, similar to the B17 program by Micrprose, where one could switch to the Observer cockpit for interceptions/navigation functions etc. At the same time possibly activating the other weapon system and using the PAS (Pilot Attack Sight for the uninitiated - normally referred to these days as a HUD)
Keep up the good work - Bill Hart
To add to my earlier notes, wrt carrier landings, the Vixen was a difficult aircraft to land as I'm sure all the surviving Vixen Drivers will agree. It was an adrenelin rush for those of us who flew in it and accidents and incidents abounded resulting in many of my friends paying the ultimate price. As an afterthought, couldn't locate the RAT (Ram Air Turbine lever..for emergency hydraulics...very minor point)
Have to say the graphics are absolutely brilliant, never saw a cleaner Vixen - even when delivered new to the Squadron.
Bill Hart oh - for the record check out http:/www.seavixen.org/ for more Vixen information
