GONE GOLD posted on 10 AUG 2005 by Sean Drummy
GMX's flight/battle simulator is now set for a fast approaching August 26th launch.
GMX Media today sent word of their flight simulator sequel Battle of Britain 2: Wings of Victory (interview), going gold with an official release day of August 26th. The company assured gamers that all finishing touchs had been applied and that now that the title had entered the shiny yellow form, no alteration in the release date was likely.
Battle of Britain 2 is a World War II flight simulator that is being hailed as having unprecedented detail and realism, apart from the glitz and glamour that also accompany its visual and audio aspect. The game also includes an immersive/fully active cockpit design, ultra-realistic weather technology, and a complex command system for total control over one's forces on the aerial battlefield.
Battle of Britain 2: Wings of Victory in-game features include:
- New DirectX 9 technology
- Clickable cockpits for the ultimate flying experience
- Realistic starting procedures via mouse
- Built-in native track-IR support with the latest 6 degrees of freedom support, including moving your head forward, backwards, left, right, up and down
- The industry's best padlocking system
- The industry's most natural g-force movements
- Authentic re-creation of the entire Battle of Britain campaign
- Experience epic battles with hundreds of aircraft in the air
- Thousands of aircraft are tracked and combat ready from their historical airfields. Knocking out enemy airfields hurts the enemy's ability to launch aircraft from those specific airfields.
- British coastal radar network spots planes, reports data to central command, aircraft readiness is checked at nearby airfields and interceptors are appropriately vectored
- Damaged radar systems create "outages" or "holes" in the defensive screen
