As a mad keen flight simulator gamer, I was originally excited about the prospect of this game. The revelations about its arcadey setup somewhat disappointed me at first but the in game footage looks promising.

There is a major issue here though - wannabe pilots want to be able to experience some realism here, and that means taxiing to and taking off from the runway, and landing.

Otherwise the game is just a decorated version of a something you'd find in the arcade of a motorway service station - the aircraft in constant motion whilst the gamer just randomly shoots at targets.

I appreciate that in real life take off and landing is a complex process with flaps and landing gear etc but we can accept a touch of simplicity. eg...hold the X button or whatever to deploy the landing gear.

Im hoping the members of this forum can add their comments on this and hopefully UBI will become aware that this addition could really increase the accessibility and potential of this game.

I'm sure you will be able to take off and land. It was in blazing angels. I don't see why they wouldn't include this in Hawx seeing how its the same developers, it will probably be very simple though. I wouldn't expect Falcon 4.0 style takeoff and landings.

Lol, I think you are right : " we should not except too much"... But a night carrier landing with wind & fog is so goos in Lock-On... Would be great to perform that kind of action in HAWX ^_^

We can still expect much, but not in terms of Lock-On/Falcon 4.0 super-simulator style gameplay. Don't forget this is an Arcade game and it will have other cool features.

From what I've seen there is alot is being planned for this game.

Yea, i do hope that they include takeoff and landing functions, it would really make the game that much better! Even if it is simple, it would be great fun and an added bonus, so we can actually get the feeling we are piloting the aircraft.

I Agree With EVARY POST In This Thread

I think they would be crazy not to

Also, emergency lauches. There's got to be at least one.

i think there should be Take of and landing, and you should have a choice to taxi to, not like in ACE COMBAT, and VTOL would be cool to

TKE OFF AND LANDING MUST BE IN THE GAME,

it would also be cool to have a aircraft carrier in the game, and a night landing on a carrier would be awsome, but i think a carrier needs to be in the game, thats one reason Ace Combat 5 is better then ZERO

There were no carriers in ZERO?

Did the carrier landings affect the gameplay instead of upping your score?

Hmmm, I think missions that are carrier based should give those who choose to fly naval fighters a bonus especially in Co-op.

no, there were not any carriers in ZERO, there were also only 18 levels and no online play, thats wy i think ACE COMBAT 5 is better, but there was no multiplayer in 5, so ACE COMBAT well no affence, but it sucks, it is still fun for flying though, and it was an ARCADE style game, not half and half like HAWX

Ill buy 100 copies of this game if there is Take off and Landing... Most important thing in a flight simulator. I think where they are making a huge mistake is making the game like an arcade game... Give me a break, thats like a slap in the face.. The developers are assumming everyone in the world are incompitent retards and need an easy flight sim.. Which is only going to steer towards a fraction of the people who can't play a game. And the hardcore simmers or going to drop the game like a bad habbit. Heres a tip, Make sure Take off and Landing are in the game. And dont make the game easy. Easy games are forgotten in 2 weeks.

Looking through the forum page here at Ubi is rightly telling. The most popular games here at Ubi forum wise are for flight sims. These are hard core flight sims too, not stuff like Blazing Angels.

from what i get out of it from the trailer i think you can take off and land i just hope from all the hipe it has this in the game
