[simpits-tech] Thoughts

[kelly Mclaren]

Stig, don't give up hope on a F16 pit.
Thist was taking from from Comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.flightsim news group
Marc..


Hello I am the former President of Military Simulations the producer and
developer of Back To Baghdad. Would there be any interest for an up to
version of this F-16 game if it included continuous 10M Satellite Imagery
along with 1M imagery of important detail areas all flying at 60Hz on a
GEForce 3 and higher graphics card. If so please let me know what features
you folks would like to see. I am doing an initial study to see if there is
any interest in this product before I commit the funds to do another build.
Our product has transformed into a full Military training system so I need
to move it back to the entertainment area if there is interest.

Thanks,

George T. Keverian
