For those of you treadheads that aren't permanently anchored to the ground ( ;) ), LucasArts has finally officially announced it long awated sequel to Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe.

As a founding member and major participant of the old Prodigy SWOTL GROUP that created so many mods for the venerable old combat flight sim, I'm excited about the prospects. The screen shots currently shown are not quite as stunning as one would hope but I'm hoping that they are an alpha stage set of graphics, but then SWOTL was never a visual stunner.

The game was first mentioned about a year ago and at the time the rumored title floating around was SWOTL 1946: Hitler's Revenge.

For those interested I've opened up a SWON board at Panzerblitz.

It all started when I hex edited the FW190 into a FW190D-9 and just exploded from there. Before long our little group were making all sorts of things from new planes to completely modified campaigns with graphics to match. SWOTN a night fighter mod for SWOTL, another mod changed things to the Eastern Front, There were many modified planes created with various weapons. We imported some graphics from LA's Battle of Britain which didn't always look right but got the idea across.

You can find all of our work and some of others in storage on-line at one of my groups members website SWOTL Homepage (http://swotl.home.attbi.com/).

I can't get the stupid screenshots link to work! If this is an example of LucasArts abilities, I think they should go back to basic training. One would think that a company interested in selling a software product would be careful enough to check the links on their web page. If this is an example of their QC, I can just imagine how buggy their game will be!

Must have been a momentary glitch. They all worked fine for me each time I tried them. You can see them in the threads on SWON board I setup.
