Remember the thread with a short vid that I posted some time ago?
Here's a demo version of this little mod of mine.
It includes 2 trainings and 1 SP mission.
Now, a few things that need to be said.
This mod is not for everyone. When I came up with the idea of making it, it was just because I was bored of this "artificial atmospheric" flight model and few other arcadish things. Then the whole idea evolved, into something like this.
Now, this mod is only playable on Insane level of difficulty. I didn't checked anything else so it probably won't play as it should on other levels.
The second important thing, is that this mod is almost not playable without some High-end stick. I use X-52 and use all available buttons/switches/hats. Playing without it can be a pain in the ass.
The mission included in a demo can be a bit unpredictable. This is because that was to be the first mission of a non-linear campaign and I wanted to make it random. As a result, each time you fly it it may start with different conditions.
In case the previous post have been missing the mod features:
- Semi-Newtonian flight model with much faster fighters.
- Changed missile properties (now fighters have much few missiles, but they are more capable).
- Increased difficulty.
- Other cosmetic changes
And here's a few tips if you find it a bit too difficult.
1st. I strongly suggest finishing the tutorials. They're not very good in terms of mission design, but help in understanding new flight model and fighting system.
2nd. Before you even start fighting make sure that you have side-thrusters controls and shield controls close. These two are very important in a battle.
3rd. Use your missiles carefully. If you'll use them in a default FS2 style you'll soon end up without your ordnance and with empty kills count.
4th. Command your wingmans. This is crucial in the mission, in which you're a squadron leader.
5th. In the mission, after killing fighters, focus on destroying large beam cannons that are pointed at the node. This will surely help with keeping your capships alive.
And last but not least, here's the download link:

PS. Mod is compatible with the latest RC.
PS2. "War is Hell" is not the final title, but I couldn't figure out anything else. Post your ideas, if you have any.
