So I guess I probably should too.

Hello folks. It's been a hot minute. It's me, your favorite goober who never friggin posts... ever.

But being in the game for something like six years now I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring after the play test recently went live.

It's actually really great. Particularly on the visual side of things. Reflections look good, and shadows are so much better than SP1.
So far the multiplayer lobbies have worked out really well. The topic of people bringing nukes into lobbies has probably been beaten to death at this point, but that's not really a problem with the game itself. The menu is very straightforward, and joining a lobby is super easy. Physics and collisions are also greatly improved over the SP1 MP mod, which is nice for those folks I've seen bring carriers.
One thing that has me super stoked in the play test is the texture system. It far exceeds my expectations with the patterns and color choices. Now planes shouldn't look so flat all the time anymore, which is a complaint I have for the graphical style of SP1.
The stock aircraft as well look really good. In particular the ground vehicles which look fantastic.
It's a real shame I'm working all week this week, cause I'd definitely be no-lifing this demo if I wasn't

But now that the gears have been turning, I have a LOT of hype for SP2 coming out.

The folks at Jundroo really cooked in this one
