No ingame footage as it was never made. It was cancelled by THQ as they got scared over something. Real shame. The trailer is just part of the release of the resources.

Wow, that looks indeed very well made.
Nice Effects.

Sometimes I get the feeling that most Games that get canceled would be a huge Success.

I wonder though why THQ got " Cold Feet ".

Yeah, looks like a flight simulator, but in arcade style 8|

I think, they didn't. They just make another game. :cool:

Thats the first flight / combat sim I have seen that actually looks fun. Bit deceptive as thats just a CGI trailer though.

From what ive seen HAWX looks pretty cool if i remember right so i still have that to look forward to.
Shame about this game though, the CGI trailer looked pretty slick.

There's more than enough room in the PC games market for an arcade style pick-up-and-play flight game.

I would have been more wowed by this if it had showed in game footage, but I guess now we will never know.

Well whoop-de-doo, American planes (even freaking F-14's!) owning Sukhois. Frankly I get seriously tired of that...
Anyway, it does look cool, and it was certainly a very nice trailer. Shame it was cancelled - I've been wondering about getting a flight sim for a while and this looked like it might have been a good one to try.

^Try Lock-On with Flaming Cliffs add-on.

It's the best modern combat flight sim I've ever come across, despite its confusing controls (joystick is a must). The amount of scenario you can come up with the mission builder is infinite, with my favourite being massive air-to-air battle between A-10As and Su-25s :P

Sad it was canceled as it would have great potental. There few flight combat games like this that are for PC.

Also the A-10 in the vid dosent look like an A-10.

Now that's a shame, cos the setting of this game actually looked quite intriguing. It had something of an arcade feeling to it, kinda reminding me of UN Squadron. Too bad, apparently, there's no room for wacky, easily accessible flying sims these days. This one might have been interesting and that's coming from somebody whose sole experience with flight simulators is Google Earth's flight sim feature.

So did the Su-37s behind it, though they apparently weren't bothered using it.
