My fabulous career
On September 18th 2002 MiGMan interviewed Scott Lee and checked out the beta. MiGMan : What about choosing to fly one aircraft type? Scott Lee : As you go through the different missions you have access to the (appropriate) squadron aircraft. In the beginning I don't have a personal aircraft. For me to obtain new aircraft I have to gain 'prestige points' through kills or whatever. Once I gain enough points I can go in and buy whatever aircraft are available given the time frame. Obviously I couldn't buy a Luftwaffe aircraft while I'm flying with the RAF! Then there's my squadron. This menu shows all the guys in my squadron and what aircraft are available to us. MiGMan : So you'd have a reasonable amount of control over your career path? Scott Lee : Yep - that's the beauty of the role playing part. MiGMan : That aspect is something I think people will really like because the "canned campaign" approach which forces you to change aircraft a lot makes the flying really difficult in my experience. |
Scott Lee : That's a great example of how over time a franchise like Microsoft Combat Flight Sim 2 can borrow from other genres in the gaming community like RPG's (Role Playing Games) and introduce some of those elements into it. Those are elements that I think everyone who is a simulator enthusiast wants. You know "I wanna feel like a pilot!", and in this case "I wanna feel like a World War 2 pilot". MiGMan : Also I think you want to feel that your actions have some consequence... and that if the guy dies... it's a bummer! Scott Lee : Right. Back to Combat Flight Simulator 3 Email MiGMan with your experiences or any information related to this sim. |
