Thank you for keeping Microprose alive. My aunt worked for Microprose in the 80's and early 90's. I still have many sealed copies of games she gave me for Christmases and birthdays.
With a coming MP mode + dynamic campaign with VR support you definitely have caught my interest.
Dynamic campaign ? Wishlisted it.
This was pretty much what the game claimed it was going to do almost a decade ago, I'll believe it when I see it
Man i thought this was abandoned! Thanks for bringing this back to my attention
I believe it was around way before Razbam's Harrier for DCS...
I'm with you I thought it was abandoned
I refunded this mess back in 2016.
Finally the solution to CAP 2 that was abandoned by developer. I'm glad that Microprose bought this over from the developer who abandoned it. I hope Microprose (MP) would add more aircraft to this game
Someone at Microprose must really like the Harrier, considering it's now the star of 2 flight sims they're publishing
What's the other one?
@@Joshua-by4dc Tiny Combat Arena, great game but still short on content. I personally never liked the Harrier, special plane but ugly and it compromises conventional takeoff/landing that are always a highlight of any flight.
@@trevorphilips2090 I think it's a neat little plane and the VTOL ability gives it some interesting options for missions but I agree that something a bit more capable like the F-16 or the F/A-18 would probably have been a better choice, at least in TCA's case. At least you can sorta fly the AI planes in TCA with a cheat code
@@TacticalBaguette I know it is possible to unlock them, but without interior, right? In any case, I do hope TCA will be fleshed out as I love the presentation and the concept of the game. Plus it easily runs on old integrated graphics.
@@trevorphilips2090 Yeah no cockpit as far as I'm aware. I believe the dev mentioned that post 1.0 aircraft additions are possible, but until then it's just the Harrier that's fully modelled
What the hell, I've had this for years. I thought it had been abandoned. It's fantastic to see further development on this.
Sold at the "dynamic campaign" step
I really hope the devs did study the falcon 4 experience and improved upon it
Update: the dynamic campaign seems to have bad reviews. So postponed the purchase until I see a fresh review of the content
They have a history of great dynamic campaigns
It's being on Early Access for years now, but at least someone says something about the game, looking forward for more info.
AV-8B is my fav jet and and I've wished for the Osprey in DCS. With all the uncertainty around RAZBAM & DCS at the moment, this is very welcome news! I'm going to check it out immediately!
Very interested to see where on the scale between casual/arcade and hardcore/study this sim lands. Really hoping for authentic feeling flight model.
Fingers and toes crossed for this one! It's the first I've heard of it but it seems that it's been in early access since... 2016!? Ouch. Here's hoping they stick the landing and it doesn't end up in the perpetually unfinished graveyard.
The only uncertainty is with the continued existence of Razbam
@@vimfuego8827 RAZBAM has the largest catalog of the third-party module devs, and ED has already lost one dev to a similar situation in the past. Can't imagine that it is easy to find devs for a game like this, but if they lose a large partner like RB it will only be that much harder.
Finally, after 32 years Domark's AV-8B Harrier Assault have a sequel!
This sequel has been available for 8 years and never finished.
I wish this comes out in one of those boxes with artwork, manual and a jacket patch! Remember those days? I would buy 2 just to be safe...
I'm really loving the fact that microprose is relaunching all these games from my childhood. That being said I went over to steam after watching this clip expecting to buy, but then saw all those abandonware reviews. Even though this is one of the very few MP promises you can already play, this one will have to show some progress first. Also, why make tanks controllable when this game is called combat air patrol. Focus please, this could be a good game.
Thank you Ed for still working on this one!
At the advent of perfectioning the VR technology, we need more games like this.
I was so disappointed with this game being stuck and basically abandoned for years. I’d love to see development resumed on this, but I need to see some clarification on what’s happened since it was last developed several years ago and why the hold happened.
I’d also like to see multiplayer and Multicrew developments for the aircraft that support multiple stations before I consider this game back into my rotation.
I do very much hope that MicroProse’s funding will help to achieve this.
As a long time DCS player I am interested in an alternative choice as currently I have none.
Falcon BMS
BMS is better in some ways and will evolve even more
@@bradule1980 hows the physics? i keep hearing its still like flying on rails.
@@utley Viper is great Eagle is still being worked on
Added to wishlist, good to see its not dead!
8 years of early access, just another Star Citizen? Finish it with full features then yes.
Exciting stuff! Wish the dev the best of luck
Well done Ed, thought I recognised your face in and around Norton on Tees LOL
Officer: Marine, what you do this weekend?
LCpl: sir I spent my whole paycheck on CAP2 for every downloadable content to learn to operate almost every weapon systems we have.
Officer: promote this Marine ahead of all!!
This looks awesome, I'll be getting this.
It’s not new. It’s been in development hell for 8 yrs.
If it ever gets out of access I will have a look. I bought this title back in 2022 and there was no support or updates from the Dev, couldn't get the HOTAS to work and it was limited in what you could do. I do wish you every success and will follow development closely with a view to buying again in the future, but just been bitten by E.A one too many times.
I believe the original was made by one person and the micro. picked it up.
@@anthonyj5298 That's correct Anthony. It sat on sale on Steam at a standstill. The shop page looked impressive enough for what it was. As with all things you don't really know until you give it a try and what was there, although promising was left in limbo and there wasn't much there at all and no words or timescale from the sole Dev. Then skip forward to Microprose buying up the names and rights to what we're their titles in their heyday as such. My guess was they purely wanted the name, but it seems that there was enough promise to build upon the framework there already. I am shocked that it's the same Dev though, maybe he just ran out of money, which is fair enough. What I'm a bit naked over is it remained on sale for all that time in a barely playable state and most likely would of remained so.
i will definitely take a look at it when its ready
I played original Combad Air Patrol, with my friend. Old school days..
First update in like 3 years? Wow
they got the rights to it, it wasn't made by them
I heard 'VR mode' and now you have my FULL attention.
Hello Ed! Glad to see you again! We're rooting for you.
Kudos to Microsoft for picking up this project.
This is great news! The work already done is impressive, but not fleshed out - hooefully this gives it a new lease of life.
I LOVE that Microprose is back! and this looks fantastic!
Remove at least a few "coming soon" badges. The DCS community is happy to help. I'm keeping my fingers crossed because it's quite good ;)
Been waiting for this!
Looks awesome, sold me on the VR bit lol
Very interested in this now, especially once we get MP!
Looks promising! Looking forward to the end result.
Brilliant
finallyyyyyyy, man so excited. this was one of my most anticipated combat sims
Please include output telemetry for motion rigs and buttkickers.
Hell yes definitely interested....add some flyable migs 2
Looks great.
Always love to see something new from MP but the AV8B 2 radar model was never intended as a CAP aircraft as that is primarily an Air to Air function. It was given the radar variant to basically justify its continued existence as attack aircraft have historically struggled to stay on the budget for the services that field them. I was with VMA-513 in Yuma from 02-06. We sent our Harriers to red flag and they got flat out trounced every year in any CAP functions they were given. That being said, I really do not care if you call it Breadwings, so long as it has all the functionality detail of the f-16 in BMS. Rooting for this to become a new platform for more combat aircraft to be simulated.
Wow, this looks awesome!!! Thx
VR interactive controls and sticks. That sold me. And the Harrier, which I love. Too bad it couldn't be the Sea Harrier in the early 1980's, which is the only time the Harrier was THE plane in a war (Falklands conflict). But, I love VTOL VR, so a Harrier sim with full controls in VR will be great. If it works.
This looks like VTOL VR and DCS had a baby
VR cockpit with hands! I'm in
+1 :D
Sue looks like the V-22 proprotors are spining the wrong direction thought the pitch looks correct. Should spin so they are going up towards the fuselage and down when away.
I'm all for more games like this. Just please release it in a more complete state than Carrier Command 2, that game really suffered from early launch woes.
Exciting news 😀
Games around different planes works. With DCS breaking down. Fan of the Harrier, just need a game like this for the tomcat and I'm golden
It's good to have a harrier simulator with a harrier variant that have radar and AMRAMs, the night attack variant on DCS is very limited
It's Alive! looking forward to further work on this. Thanks
New? Nope. I have bought this sim years ago. But… it’s really fantastically smooth and immersive. A must have! In VR, it’s breathtaking.
Well, thank God for that! We'll need a new Harrier game now that Razbam have fallen out with ED.
All I heard was VR mode, sold!
We love you microprose, a glimmer of hope when all sim world is stagnating.
It's only Microprose by name, some rich guy bought it.
@@Waffle4569 And now the rich Guy need some more money. So he advertise an already dead game from 2016??!
@@vrambassador Who knows. He goes around buying up indie IPs for rather lowballed amounts, and gets people hyped up as if there's an actual MicroProse team behind everything
They are planning Falcon 5.0
I'd love a Linux-native version to play on Steam Deck 🥰
Wonderful to see you preserving history
You can do more, a Sea Harrier Falklands Campaign would be awesome.
I'd kill for a Sea Harrier simulator or a Sea Harrier module for DCS
In CAP2 The Osprey gets grounded every other flight. 2 STARS.
Looking forward to VR mode
Interested to see this make a comeback, but what about this new "major update?" What kind of fixes can we expect? Content?
It's like a modern sim overhaul of Battlefield 2!
Very good news❤
1. Micropose still exists? Didnt even know.
2. It either looks rly good for a Mobile Game or rly 2010 for a PC Game ^^
Don't know how to answer number 2 but for number 1 the answer is "in name only". Hopefully they can deliver on both CAP2 and Falcon 5.
@@NuclearFalcon146
I hate this brand name selling, it's misleading and should be forbidden. But it explains alot.
wait, wait, wait, are you telling me microprose is back? escaping the clutches from hasbro?
Lets wait and see if he is fulfilling those promises
No money from me until the real 1.0 release
Does this mean we can start looking forward to a modular Falcon 5 to compete with DCS!?!
Can you make the music louder?
I can nearly hear you..
great news
it needs more coop!
I'm glad the dev is willing to develop a sequel and avoid direct competition with other hardcore sims on the market, but why does it sound like Nuclear Options? How is it different in gameplay mechanics?
This sequel was launched in 2016 E/A and is still in E/A with literally no updates for years. Game still looks like a game from 20 yrs ago.
First game I everplayed was microprose gran prix in a compaq notebook greta work, nice thay you're moving foward dictating trends.
finally some competition against dcs
Has this really been in Early Access since June 2016?! 8 years? Can you advise the reason for this so i can decide if to purchase this?
the main reason is because it's not Assassin's Creed.
Prior to this announcement *CAP 2* was _not_ being published by MicroProse so, I believe, no longer in development or in slowed development. And why do you have to decide _right now_ to purchase it; how about waiting for the release of the *MicroProse* version . . . .
Don't buy till it's officially released. I bought in the early access as soon as it was announced. Before EA there was an interview with the dev that made it sounds the full game was months away from release. Lots of missed deadlines and broken promises. Just wait for community feedback before purchasing.
Is this study sim level? What's the level of simulation detail aimed for? Looking forward to another flight sim for my collection!
Siiiiiiick bruh!!!!!
Do you offer external views for "replay"?
>Combat Air Patrol
>You fly a ground attack plane
And tanks. And helis. Yeah the irony made me laugh, too. Can't wait for their next instalment of Railroad Adventures, so I can race a Miata around the Nürburgring.
Its the AV-8B+, which is fully multirole. Although the USMC don't really (need) to take advantage of it, the Italian and Spanish examples fully take on the fleet defender role with AIM-120s. It's certainly got more endurance in the role than the Royal Navy's Sea Harriers ever did.
Just channel reliving the old Kuril Islands campaign from the Marine Fighters expansion to US Navy Fighters.
This variant in this game have radar and AMRAMs, so don't worry
@@Joshua-by4dc It's still funny.
Those 3d models could use some work.
happy to see it, but really I want to see a game this but based in europe 1989 with the dynamic campaign, basically like old school falcon, but in europe instead of korea with more planes then just the f-16
Do you get wingmen?
RIP to the Welsh farmers at 1:26
This "Early Access" was released in 2016. Excuse me if I'm not excited for this vapor ware.
Noice
add a Italian Harrier II+ variant and Im in
What's the difference?
Choices of flyable/drivable units is quite weird
Did I just hear "VR"? ^^
I thought this game was dead???
What the hell where have you guys been lol I haven't seen Microprose game since late 1980s
can you bring us B17 Bloody 100th instead
Is Micropose BACK at the genre they helped define when I was a kid?!
Yeah see I was very excited when Microprose came back a few years ago and started publishing 90s type games for us old farts to enjoy, but asside from Highfleet, every single one of them has been a disappointement, broken games abandonned and incomplete, lacking documentation or good UI, devs not supporting the product until the end and other early access shennanigans. I'm having a hard time purchasing another Microprose backed game, because they don't back their game until completion.
edit: yeah, checked on steam, it sits at 46%. there you go...
More Il2 than DCS, please. I'm thick af when it comes to flying with my hotas ( iracing is a different story)
Please make a better ejection Sequence...with a following view for the pilot when he punched out!
Will you release this on a non-Steam media disc- DVD or Blu Ray? I'm done buying digital download games that get taken away, or lose support after a "purchase".
I loved the original
Dynamic Campaign? Say nor more!
Well, no more razbam Harrier so gotta look elsewhere
I was interested and about to buy on steam but maan.....negative review is all over the place. I'll wait and see.
Holy shit. Bought this ages ago. Was sure it was dead.
Any plans for F-35B?
Hey micro. Try Bethesda. The largest gaming moment created by me. Famous
