Two things: 1) The F-16 is forty years old, not sure it would be my first choice to cite as an example of "modern aircraft." 2) Via Wikipedia: "The Fighting Falcon's key features include a frameless bubble canopy for better visibility." Gee, that sure sounds like a useful feature. I wonder why that doesn't survive the next 900 years?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_Cerritos_mid-air_collision One of the key contributing aspects of the crash was that the pilots did not use the seat adjustment in the DC-9, which would have helped them overcome a large portion of the visibility problem that cause the whole thing. It was even part of the checklist (that the pilots ignored). The DC-9 is a 50-year old airframe. Any bets that every single airliner since has had the same adjustments and the same point on the checklist?

I wouldn't be surprised if in fifty years glass windshields become vestigial and all real work is done via a constellation of cameras that can give an unobstructed panoramic view from multiple angles (assuming in 50 years pilots haven't already been completely replaced by AI). Enthusiasts are already replacing rear view/wing mirrors on cars with cameras and an on-dash screen, and of course drone operators fly entirely remotely a half-world away. Given the depths of space, what one can see with the unaided eye is absolutely pitiful compared with what IR and near UV sensors can detect, along with radar. Defending poor sight lines in a spacecraft a millennium hence seems as ridiculous as a modern day soldier arguing that the arms on a particular trebuchet doesn't have the same stiffness of other models built by William the Conqueror. But no, we're still pretending we're flying P51s but in SPAAAAAACCEEEEE

Flying P51s in space are perfectly cool and good. "Realism" in a silly space game with ninja turtles is super dumb anyways. The issue is that there is no excuse for giving you a poo poo view on purpose, for balance, "realism", or any other reason. It's just loving stupid. Chris Roberts is a retard. Anyways, space game WW2 dogfights are going to be inherently worse than the ones is a proper WW2 game. One almost instinctively knows how a plane should "feel" when flying, that there is an up and a down (and going up is harder than down), that there are all sort of visual cues to help you orient yourself, that weather matters, etc. Space WW2 dogfighting is just a lovely imitation that was pretty popular when computers weren't able to render much poo poo so setting your game in the blackness of space was a good way to avoid drawing stuff. But nowadays there is no need for that, so you can get the proper dogfighting experience, against a properly beautiful background, instead of asterioid field #251.

We are pretty drat close now and I'm sure the only reason we dont have such things in planes and cars is simply because of the government taking ages to adopt anything new .... like we are seeing how with laser headlights being banned from entering the market And plus there is the good old mechanical fall back of glass and mirrors when the little cameras get broken or filled with dirt Cars are going to look so goofy the first few years after manufacturers finally remove wing mirrors though ,

Re streamer chat : some of these people command massive audiences in the 10s of thousands per stream.... if a game company can get them to show off their new game it almost guarantees it will be a hit upon release The problem is lots of 'streamer games' fizzle out shortly after release So I fully encourage cig to throw money at the lovely content makers and have it get them nowhere

This is the kind of quality coverage the game enjoys these days. As with GamerMax, who spoke of the ability NOW for players to agent smith into NPCs crewing GamerMax’s Idris, the fictions fly fast and furious. A backer has supposedly written this and presents it as truthful yet from the very title and throughout, it is an inflated distortion of reality. The alternative and truer telling offered by Eurogamer not long ago, Star Citizen, I am disappointed, is one offered from outside the distortion bubble looking in. Screenrant and GamerMax are inside it looking out. If we’re racing towards an MVP, Star Citizen backers will be less and less afforded the opportunity for Futurecasting. The Future will have become the Present and they will have to decide what they choose to see before them and whether the road that lead to it was the right one or if instead the leader went off course. GamerMax was already engaged in that imaginary debate with imaginary strawmen in his video yesterday. He may need to prepare for having it for the rest of his life, and with real people, if Chris Roberts ends up delivering the exponential version of No Man’s Sky. SCREENRANT: Star Citizen Has Over 2 Million Invested Players Now quote:The largest crowdfunded project ever just keeps getting bigger, and so to does the scale and scope of the project itself. Star Citizen, the most ambitious space sim and perhaps even the most ambitious video game overall ever, has been in development for so many years that I can’t even remember when I backed it. This week, Star Citizen celebrated another monumental milestone in reaching two million “Citizen into the ‘verse.”

And still just one system and still so many features and mechanics missing before they will be able to make a 1.0 release. A lot of new assets though! New outfits! New ships! All stuff that idiots will pay real money for! This is good for Just Starting Citizen. I'm now wondering if the game will be released by 2030.
