Simbin has for a long time been a fixture of the sim racing community as the makers of some of the most recognizable racing titles ever made. GTR, GTR2, GT Legends, Race 07 and Raceroom are just some of those games. Recently Simbin has been in the news with rumors of bankruptcy, closing up shop or some form of restructuring. With that going on Shaun Cole of The Simpit was able to sit down via Skype with Jay Ekkel, the licencing manager for Simbin. They talk about the company, its past, its future and a little bit of general sim racing talk.
The company is going through some restructuring there is some great insider stuff in this interview.
AC: V is an arcade flight game that is set in the Vietnam Era, and is based on the historically accurate situations from 1962-1975, as understood from our own current perspective. The game boasts over 20+ types of aircraft, including fighters, bombers, and choppers, single-player campaign mode, 3 multiplayer modes (Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Capture The Flag), 4 levels of difficulty (Easy, Normal, Hard, and Navy Pilot), and Instant Battle, where you can immediately dive right into a dogfight and can choose aircraft, location, type of weather, and number of enemies. An auto-aim feature is also implemented in the game, but the degree of its usage is dependent upon the set level of difficulty, and is turned off altogether in multiplayer mode.
“Oh, dear”. Probably not a the most obvious way to start a review, but while playing, Air Conflicts: Vietnam, I found myself inadvertently speaking those very words aloud. Rather than screaming and shouting in frustration at all that is wrong with this rather disastrous attempt at a video game, I instead found myself sitting back, caught in a strange emotional quagmire of disappointment, shock and pity.
Awwww yeah, THE WAREHOUSE AND LOGISTICS SIMULATOR!
