Flanker562's Mods

Looks like the lua for the AMRAAM is now locked. I haven't explicitly heard anything from Darkcode to be honest, but it's not looking good or he would have sent me the AIM-260 mod already that he made for himself, for me to edit. So what does that mean? I could speculate and they're maybe changing things (the obvious is disallowing mods of their missiles) for either good or bad for the modding community. My years of experience with the company gives me little insight on what they do, I don't talk shop to anybody, so even if I was told, I wouldn't be able to say anything anyway so there's that. So for now, I am thinking of taking down my missile mod, concentrate on manuals here and there, and also liveries when the CJS Super Hornet Mod goes to 2.5. As for the missile mod I'll keep it up in case things work out, or if they don't, I'll delete it Saturday and go from there.

Okay some possible good news: PlaneBot on the CJS Discord may be able to get a missile mod working. I will ask him if it's okay if I use it for my own edits, based on what "i think is good", but may be just a range edit, or whatnot, but I intend to work on the mod, or just delete my mod, and use his. He's modifying the Modern Missile Mod, so that will be that coding. PlaneBot says there are some bugs, but if it gets working, then we won't have to worry about missile issues, at least until the next patch shows up, and ED does something else to bork it.

Okay I planned on deleting the missile mod yesterday, but totally forgot, and when I did it was kinda late in the day, so it'll be deleted shortly. I'm keeping the mod around though on my hard drive, and will (if PlaneBot allows me) mod the files so that it works. Still haven't heard anything, so maybe he's still running into problems and bugs to iron out. Darkcode has been silent, so he's probably not working on it or is just busy with IRL stuff. I haven't flown in weeks, and frankly waiting for 2.5 for the CJS Super Hornet Mod to work on adapting my old skins to that mod standard. Once that's complete (and that will be posted on a different topic that I maintain) I'll see about other things.

Still no word from PlaneBot or darkcode (I think he's at school, or I might have heard from him) on the missile setups. I don't think right now it's humanly possible, and right now we're all recovering in our own way from Wags's death anyway, so they're gonna come out with whatever they came out, and so on. I don't put them doing much given the footprint he had on the sim, so right now just wait until the next patch and play the mod game, to see if they locked it down, or allow us to mess with it, but given the way it was going, who knows now with him out of the picture, so we'll see. Not much on the DCS front anyway, I get more play out of another game, so keeping busy with that until something inspires me to work on something for DCS.
