New Babylon 5 combat sim demo

[Kruzin]

This is supposed to be a prequel for another upcoming game.
It's called IFH (I've Found Her): Danger & Opportunity.
Haven't tried it yet, still downloading, but it looks good from the screenshots...

Cool, I saw that pop up on... err... *cough*Suprnova*cough* and wondered what it was. Downloading from from your link now, 305 kB/s (2.5 Mb/s) off the BlueYonder mirror.

Well, it seems to play pretty well on my rig.
I can see that I'll need to dig out my old flight stick if I want to play this one.

I did get it to go into surround mode, but it made the ships and parts of the HUD invisible...

Whoops... getting lost in hyperspace is a bad thing. Seems to run pretty good on my 8500 too, although I had to turn motion blur off, it stuttered something bad with it on.

Read this hint before doing the training mission to save you some frustration when looking for the lost ship.

Haha 392KB/s (which is above my download limit actually)
Cable rules all especially since the speed will be upgraded next month... (or maybe it already has been )

overall download was a little under 9 minutes.

[Umfriend]

knirfie, who is your ISP?? You are talking 3.6 Mb/s here..... WOW

Congrats to all others as well

[Marshmallowman]

cool download speeds, but is it *worth* downloaduing ?

[knirfie]

Umfriend, it's Essent, the only "good" cable ISP in the netherlands...

[Jon P. Inghram]

As to being worth downloading, I completed the training mission and the first "real" mission before growing tired of it and uninstalling. The flight "physics" are nothing new, it's very similar to Elite 2: Frontier, which means space battles turn into jousting matches. But unlike in Frontier where your lasers were realisticly effective at at least hitting the target, the B5 PPG's are so slow that if the baddies just weaved back and forth a bit they'd likely never get hit. Oh, and hyperspace gets old very quick, between the annoying sound effects and the nausea inducing background that, while perhaps looking cool in the TV, would NOT be something you'd want to stare at for any real amount of time in real life.
