Combat Air Patrol 2 Is Back (Quick Look at the New Build)

Some time ago Microprose announced that it will be publishing CAP2 which was released back in 2016 in Early Access (then it was called Greenlight IIRC), but over the years it had troubled development due to lack of focus and feature creep. At one point updates stopped comming and it seamed like the game died. Will Microprose change the fate of this promising indie flight sim? We'll have to wait and see.

Today update was released, that from what I can see at a first glance reworked its GUI, improved animated pilot model and introduced some other minor changes. The flight model still feels strange though, and I hope it will be improved. The game is still in rough shape but at least we know it's being worked on again, so hopefuly we will see it getting better and being released finally in fully working and playable state.

Personally I think that if Ed sticked to his initial promise - only AV-8B with sim-lite approach and dynamic campaign (possibly simplistic) in single theatre the game would be ready by now. I don't think we need all the complex avionics and additional aircraft and terrains right now, until the base game loop is properly working.
