What do you think it is that Luthier thinks will have Competitors squirming?

Capture the flag at 20000 feet maybe?

more like fighter command !

They don't really have any competitors tbh. Rise of Flight isnt a competitor as it's a pay per month subscription , and I doubt you could call DSC A-10 / Blackshark a competitor either as it's modern warefare.

It's probably dynamic weather or something like that. Somthing that isnt in any sim yet.

the ability for the player to man crew-served weapons (or any military vehicle in the game) while playing online??

the introduction of dynamic weather based on actually conditions for each day of the battle?

The ability to send out recon planes and have them impact the mission generation for the online dynamic campaign generator?

But I wouldn't call that a "major feature", rather a fairly minor programming effort. It may have a major effect on gameplay, though.

I'm certainly not aware that any other flight sim has a glint model. RoF certainly needs it, as it was quite a large factor in WWI. Maybe because of those flat, shiny doped wings, rather than curved aluminium ones.

Strangely, I don't recall WWII pilots mentioning it much in the accounts I have read. But you can imagine that a formation of, say, Heinkels at a large distance would remain at almost the same angle for quite a while and those big glass canopies would reflect at many angles.

It would be cool to have something like this, but it's already been done and guess where of all places? Rowan's Mig Alley
