• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Top Gun 2?

As soon as I heard this the plot popped into my head...

Tom Cruise is now the top instructor at the Top Gun Academy, long divorced from his fling from the first movie... An event of some sort happens somewhere on the opposite side of the globe and he's the only one with the experience, the techniques, and the looks that can take on the enemy single-handedly... OK, Iceman can come too.

I'll be it'll be an all out tear jerker... from laughter. I'm sorry, I should let it be because I was just a pessimistic about Star Trek (2009) and was surprizingly impressed.
 
Top Gun was an awesome movie...a quarter of a century ago.

You can't go home again, you can't recreate what they had back in 1986.

Just let it die...
 
To be honest, I don't think the movie has aged quite that well. Or maybe, I haven't... The flight sequences are still cool, but all the crappy love story kind of kills it. Plus if Maverick did even a quarter of the stunts he pulled in that movie, he would be out on his Rear Admiral so quick his head would spin. Just that drop below the hard deck probably would have washed him out of the school...
 
...of course, I don't think I'd get any resistance to the fact that it blew "Iron Eagle" out of the water. I think the only other aviation movie I laughed harder at was "Hot Shots"... but that was meant to be laughed at!

And yes, Maverick would've been flying a desk for quite some time... maybe not discharged, just disiplined.
