The Lordz Games Studio strikes a licence deal on Check Your 6!

[DennisS]

It's not even clear that a skirmish mode will be added:

I think there's a misunderstanding on Skirmish mode. This isn't something that is planned. can you let me know where I said this as it must have been some mistake

Another dev said this here : http://steamcommunity.com/app/715800/discussions/0/1700542332319427385/

Hi everyone :)

Dev here - we have the Skirmish mode in the devtest, but it still requires some improvements, so while we keep working on making it available for all of you, let us know what else we might improve in the game overall.

Oh ok that's news to us....!

Yeah, I should probably explain - we have a skirmish mode in devtest, but it's not complete - as mentioned above it requires some real improvements and it's not yet approved to be released. Sorry if my comment misled you.

So the publisher doesn't even know that a skirmish mode is being worked on by the devs? 

That was me, all over that thread. I got conflicting information from Grey, the developer, and Iain, from Slitherine.

Apparently, the skirmish mode is a thing, but under continuing development, or is a thing, completed, but yet to be implemented, or is NOT a thing, but under consideration, or IS a thing, but Slitherine doesn't know anything about it. Clear?

Not to me either. Without some sort of skirmish mode, or dynamic campaign, then all we get are 17 scripted missions. Once these are "solved", then it's on to a different game. Not thanks...I'll wait.

I considered doing just that, but decided to stick with it. I found it was my rudder pedals that caused the cursor drift, so unplugging them is a temporary solution. There are, however, many other things about the game that irk me. But I aim to push on and conquer the beast.

I am thoroughly confused as to what game is actually being discussed in this thread now...

I can understand your confusion. It is actually Check Your 6! that we're talking about. The issue is that other input devices, such as those used for games like flight sims, conflict with it. I've never had this happen before and wouldn't have worked it out if it wasn't for the above cryptic discussion.

This game got me to want to replay Talonsoft's:  Spitfire/Battle of Britain and 12 O'Clock High.  I have Windows 10 and I can't even get these games to install.  Anyone know how?

Have you tried right-clicking on the shortcut, Properties> Compatibility> Run this program compatible for [select OS]?

[Johnnie]

IronX:  Thanks but no joy.  Tried what you suggested and I can't even load the CD.

[IronX]

That's too bad. I guess the only way to run them would be on a machine with the original OS installed, which is pretty much a non-starter for most.

The wargaming community could do with a good WWII strategic air game that's designed for today's computers.

Both games were reissued under 1 title by matrix and Eagle Day Bombing the Reich.  Runs fine for me on Win 10. No CD, just Matrix standard key.  Of course it would suck to have to buy them again...except that they are somewhat improved...bugs, data errors fixed etc.

CY6 reminds me more of Avalon Hill/Big Time Software's Achtung Spitfire and Over the Reich than it does the Talonsoft games.

Looks like it's possible but you would need to somehow install it first. A virtual machine might work.

[Johnnie]

Staggerwing:  Those are the games I am talking about (Achtung Spitfire and 12 Oclock High) not the two games Matrix re-issued a while ago.
These games, AS and 12 Oclock, won't run from the disks I have, on Windows 10.  Old Games sells the two games as downloads.   The Old Games download version of 12 Oclock High runs fine with no tinkering.  I can't get AS to run at all or even install.

So is CY6 worth the money to invest in? Seems like it's kinda pricey for 7 missions, no skirmish mode or MP yet.

after reading through the posts
maybe we should rename the thread to: The Lordz Games Studio strikes a licence deal on Check Your 6! 
...if someone get it in this state and for the full price ^-^

Well. Price is relative to the individual I guess. It's 20 pounds and I have spent considerably more on a few beers on a night out so horses for courses.

It is a nicely put together game bit I find the lack of skirmish or scenario creator puzzling. It's an air game so it's basically choose your planes and of you go so as compared to say a land based game it should be easy to put together. I can only suggest it is DLC that they have in mind but think that should be more aimed at new campaigns and planes. So yes I think it's worth it but may have a different view on things.

I must say though that I thought the control scheme in that Sid Meier mobile game was better and clearer.

In its current state, I think the $30 ask is a bit high.

The graphics are good but not great, the sound design is surprisingly poor, and, as I've said, that yoke interface I can do without.

Clean at least some of this up and get a full scenario editor with a quick-skirmish cherry-pick system and I think the price is dead on.

And, of course, +2 for live MP!  It's easy, intuitive, and a fair amount of fun.
