So, you like the game? (and presskannekaffe and julekake of course). Are u
happy with the fps and the representation of the Norwegian scenery & light
conditions? I'm still waiting, you know...

Sander, I have a proposal for ya. During the time that F15 was
popular, I had an acquaintance I made here that was an USAF
Air Traffic Controller. He made a mission that gave vectored
landings to an air field at Al Kharg. It was most fantastic. Used
real ATC vectoring etc along with voice recordings put into
the missions.
It would be EXCELLENT, as a Norwegian ATCO, if you were
able to do the same thing in vectoring a flight of FA-18's into
a Norway base in say, Heavy weather.
I propose a take off from the carrier, perform some mission,
like anti shipping, then come to the Land Base for recovery.
Your voice could then vector the fighters to the proper
course for ILS recovery.
So...you can be famous if you want to! I know that FA-18
has all these same capabilities as F-15. I can even send
you the F-15 mission if you want. I think I still have it.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to find Norwegians in Austin, Texas?
:-)
Seriously, I don't think you should be getting the Russian controller in
Norwegian airspace. We do have a "Scandinavian" controller that you should
hear in that case. I'll check into that.
I'm curious, what do you think of the accents overall?

The in game speech was recorded in Austin, Texas, and the cast includes a
sprinkling of actors from F-15, LB2, Wing Commander 5, and a project that
never saw the light of day. Some of the people I wanted to reuse from F-15
had moved on to bigger and better things in L.A.; for example Toni Perinsky
(I know I probably mispelled her last name...sorry Toni!) who was the
"Female SAR helicopter pilot" in F-15 recently appeared in the movie
"Varsity Blues" (she was the...ahem...Health teacher). Of the 39 parts, I
think I was able to precast 10-12 people; the rest came from open auditions.
Lots of talent in Austin thanks to all the indy studios.
The "newscasters" used in the campaign videos were actors from the Bay Area;
we cast them remotely based on demos they did in the EA Redwood Shores sound
studio, and all that recording was done in Redwood Shores.

I sat in on a couple of the voice audition for what I'm assuming is the project that never
saw the light of day...
Talk about interesting. What cracked me up is when it was asked if some of the actor
could do accents.
"Ok, now can you do a British accent?"
"Ok, now can you an Irish accent?"
It seemed to me like every single person that I saw before I left the auditions to the
pros had worked on Walker, Texas Ranger, also. :-)

That's partly why she won an Oscar. Gweneth is a also a
TOTAL BABE in 'Emma'. If you haven't seen her in that one
run, don't walk to your favorite video store and rent it.
That's when -I- fell in love with her.

The Bitchin Betty part is probably the least favorite role; it's very short,
and the words are recorded seperately in order to get that "chopped up"
betty sound.
BTW, as I joke I had hoped to be able to cast Ginger Lynn Allen as the
female AWACS controller in F-15 (remember, this was shortly after she had
done Wing 5). Too bad she was unavailable...:-)

Her part was somewhat larger in Wing 3...she was one of two potential "love
interests" you could hook up with during the course of the game. I think
there is a patch out that will let play Wing3 in Windows.

No, and that was a shame, as I thought the storyline in Wing 4 was
excellent.

OK thx. But Wing5 has better gameplay, no?
CJ "Smut" Martin
> OK thx. But Wing5 has better gameplay, no?
Dunno, that's subjective I guess. IMHO, Wing 3 & 4 were more interesting
because of the interactive movie cutscenes where I as a player could make
certain choices that affected the storyline. Wing 4 took this to the next
level...there were multiple possible endings that were very different.
Wing 5 dumped much of that, but the graphics and space combat is
spectacular. The mission briefings were also very well done...oh to be able
to do that in a flight sim!
So I guess they all have their strengths. All of them are great escapist
fun.
As always, IMHO.

I've never been big on space sims, but have had a few (Starwars
mostly). I guess you can't do that cut scene movie stuff in a
flight-sim because you need the money for realistic flight-models etc.
and they don't.

Hummm..I saw Varsity Blues...and the "Health Teacher". Wish my teachers in
Highschool looked like that...and danced like that!!!
Great game CJ. The more I play it, the better it gets. I have never played
any computer game as much as I have F-18. I do have occassionsl CTD's and
lockups, but usually after 2 or 3 days of heavy playing. This is going to
sound dumb, but since the CTS occur just after a HD access in all cases, I
remove my swapfile (not on the same drive as F-18), reboot, and then
recreate it. It seems to get me going for another 15 to 20 hrs of flying.
I also had to go to my voodoo II cards and not my TNT 2 Ultra. Don't know
why, but always get CTD's with the TNT. Tried every driver out. I am sure
it has something to do with my system, but for the life of me, I can't
figure out what. Once again..great sim!!

Instead of being fluffy filler, I thought the cutscenes were so good in
WC4 that I wanted to skip the combat scenes so I could get to the next movie!
I can't think of any flight sims that have had that problem. I thought the
actual missions got stale (fly to point A, kill fighters, fly to point B,
etc.), but I still remember the story and cutscenes vividly. And it was
unusual (and still is) to have a sim game present moral dilemmas.

Hmm, I guess you can make some pretty nifty briefings when your budget is
in the several million dollar range. As for the graphics and space combat,
they were much improved over WC4, but I thought the story and writing were the
worst of the series -- Chris Robert's departure must have had something to do
with it. By the point where

How so? Were there cutscenes in Jetfighter III or something? I don't

What do you mean by "Wing commander type design"?

That whole end series was great.
The whole thing where the big ass carrier turns around and everyone on
the little carrier gets the "oh.... sh*t" look on their face.
That and the sequence where you let Tolywn go after you captured him.
The best use of FMV in a game, ever, IMHO.
