Do you love the SuperBug of VRS or not ?

[Bjoern]

Despite the technical quality it simply doesn't tingle my "gotta have" receptors. I can't see me spending hours and hours and hours in it (it's no airliner either), so a purchase isn't an option at all. Those average 30 to 40€ are a huge investment, especially for me.
I always think twice before pumping money into this hobby.

So, in summary, so we have:

5 "Not sure's"

8 "Yes's!"

5 "No's!"

My only problem is the latest version of the ACM quit working.

It certainly is comprehensive.

All these goodies sound impressive... Do they all work in multiplayer?

I don't usually spend money on modern jets for FS, but I had a special reason to get the FS9 SuperBug, being somewhat involved with the real one. It was (is) quite amazing. I haven't decided if I want the FSX version yet. I did notice they made the digital display symbols white, which reflects a more up to date configuration than the green displays in the FS9 one, so that's cool. I also noticed the ALE-47 display is still in there, and it hasn't been in the real one for years and years! But I'm just being a picker of nits... I'm sure the FSX one is as good as the hype!

I prefer something easy to install, reinstall and burn in DVD without modification in my fsx CFG or other problems

My favorite military jet is
Payware IRIS F-14
Freeware Mirage 2000 5 Rollus

And Moe: you know that hundred ya owe me? ...just take half and buy the darned thing.

It has an adjustment of 5 levels for betterFPS/ better Visuals....I have it on setting 3 and have gone from ~40-50 frames to 20-30. On setting 3 the visuals are really good, I may be dropping it back to see any improvements.

That makes me uneasy as it probably means you are losing parts of the model to make up for it.

Looks like a fantastic addon, but I don't have the time or inclination to learn the systems and without actual combat, I feel like it would be wasted on my system. I'm not much of a jet jocky though, did it a bit in FS9, but I would prefer nap of the earth io a blackhawk/apache over mile high sorties.

I really support them though and hope it does well for them!!

Hi,
Interesting but never ending thread, isn't it?
I have the feeling that each simmer has a different way to fly with FS, and even among modern jet lovers, you will find many different expectations.
May be it depends mainly on Superbug "level of love", then, are you, or not, interested into avionics and systems procedures. And, last of course, on how much time do you have.

Personnaly, even if I'm a navy fan, my "Mustang" is much more a F14 or a Crusader than F18. After that, I'm more intereseted in flying skills than avionics : failure and security procedures, for instance, are not my priorities when I'm flying with FSX. And last, I don't have so much time to learn how to take off with a particular plane, so imagine what I'm thinking about a 300 pages manual... (lol)

For now, I'm very happy with Iris and Dino's F14s, I can't wait for the Razbam coming products (especially the 'eyes ones : Buckeye and Hawkeye) and I would love a Crusader... If they are Accusim or similar? why not, but to my own opinion, "realism" doesn't means "deep system features": in FSX, the pilot has only one mouse-hand with only two clic-fingers and a 2D-19inch wide view...

Regards
S.

Agreed there is a thing as tooo much realism when you not actually in a cockpit surrounded by switchs and able to actually move your head around without the use of track ir or similar, Personally I'd love a Crusader especially the Aéronavale versions to go with your Etendard!

Hello :salute:

In first I would like to thank everyone who took the time to answer my question!
Yes you all right, some people like the aircraft such have warbirds, some people like the helicopters, some people like jetliners now military aircraft...

I have the F-18 CaptainSim drank the SuperBug is really has success (for me), although the documentation is wide (over 300 pages) is has very technical and had fabulous.
I know some people gift(donation) t like the airsmooth where to spend much time reading to learn how to fly.

BEFORE FSX I USED SU-25T FLAMING CLIFF AND FOR me this is really the best military aircraft for has PC simulator (I really coils too IL-1946)!!

The only criticism I could say about the Superbug is that there is no documentation the Superbug internationally because has flat is really complicated drank with time and patience I think everything will be OK.....

I would like to thank you for your answers and wish you to spend a very good day
PS: I am really sorry for not to have answered more quickly your posts.

I'm very sorry for my poor English, best regards.

I started simming a year a ago, and I immediately bumped into the FS9 Superbug on the internet (it´s spelled with a noncapital-I here) and I´ve been waiting for this day pretty eagerly.

So, I installed the Bug this morning and wen´t though complete cold/dark start, followed checklists etc, tested the fantastic FBW-system - it really feels great and even the real Navy pilots seem to like it, and even did some carrier ops after 2 hours of random testing.

Everything is really well done, so the immersion factor soared though roof. So much to learn, just the way I like it usually. I haven´t especially waited for the plane´s weapon systems, but they´ll probably keep me interested in some way or another for a long time.

I do really recommend TrackIR and a proper force feedback with planes especially like this.

By the way, is the real plane´s joystick as static as F-16's for example? [LINESTRIKE]It doesn't seem to move much while airborne.[/LINESTRIKE] It was some kind of bug. I´d like to still hear about the feel of the stick.
