Stirring the Pot

I heard somewhere that Lead Pursuit's site was down. So, I went to take a look and found this on the news page:

Thoughts?

Hey "Holly"!

In here... within this forum of freaks - all we really have in mind, is to do a replicate of the F-16 cockpit - with all the instruments functional - rather than using a keyboard & mouse, when flying that "oldie"... FALCON 4.0...


Seriously mate... you have got to look through a lot of threads during the next weekend..... but after that, I?m sure you know more about what it is all about.

And please...... do not get "scared" by users allready.... 

The stuff you see with people, already having a pit..... THAT is your motivation - just like me 

Take care mate,

GUN

What GUN is trying to say is that Falcon 4.0:AF is not the most favorite sim around here, because of the problems we encounter interfacing Falcon AF with our cockpits

I'd love to jump in here but I'd be writing all week, wouldn't know where to stop.  Avionics, customizability, cockpit integration (as mentioned), VISUALS, lots of internal operations not modelled, basically all comes down to REALISM -- why build a pit if you don't care about realism?  And why use AF if you do?

All I got out of that was "Happy New Year.  Full stop."

Ehm... Maybe some one bought it.

Holly works at an F-16 flight simulator facility (Flightdeck) that is licensed to use AF in there sims. AF works well for public use and I can see his interest in the status of Lead Pursuit.

Right, I know that AF isn't a pit builder favorite for numerous reasons. I should have placed emphasis upon the "Hard at work" part. It's been four years since AF's release and I'm shocked that LP hasn't followed up yet.

I should have been more clear: Do y'all think that 'Hard at work' means hard at work on a new product, or "Hardly working".

Viperpits tends to have a minimal amount of the political stuff that goes on in some of the other communities and generally better info, so I thought I'd pose the question to you.

Didn't want to bring up work and create the impression I was sneaking in a plug. I think my avatar is enough of one.

Obviously we are very interested in LP's status for a variety of reasons. With the weird happenings in transferring of rights with Falcon lately we're always concerned about where we are legally and what the effects are on our rights to operate using Allied Force. Additionally we're concerned with respect to future development of software by LP. As a simmer I'd love to see LP put out a product that could compete with LOMAC in terms of visuals and Falcon in terms of being a study sim. As an employee I'm concerned about our ability to acquire the rights to any new LP product, especially considering their past actions with their product.

I was just fishin' for any good gouge to be had.
