I dunno, the F/A-18 is ok, and I assume it will get some nice adds to its functionality. But its never going to be like a 3rd party.
But the planes aren’t my real concern. My concern is that when I think of what the basis of ‘Top Gun’ school is. It’s air combat and maneuvering school. It is not carrier landing school.
And I think having good difficult carrier landings (read that as - similar to DCS carrier landings (but understanding that no matter what it will be a bit simplified) would be a really fun thing to add to MSFS, and I think a lot of people will enjoy that and a lot of people who have never tried such a thing might be impressed. DCS Carrier ops in VR is some of the most fun you can have in a flight sim, if MSFS can get 70% of that, that’d be good.
BUT BUT BUT… What I want to see is some air combat simulation, like real world Red Flag exercises. But based on what Reno is, I don’t think they have the underpinnings for that kind of add on.
I mean maybe they do… Maybe they make a complete fool of me and knock this out of the park. But thats what I want a ‘top gun’ add on to really focus on.
I fully expect to be sorely disappointed, so maybe at least we get one more fun jet, and a good carrier thing.
