It's largely because the folks who kind enough to produce these are subject to real life constraints. More often than not, the progress that's made is slow, particularly with .ini editing, which I believe is where they're at with this. And creating a new FM for a new model can be a complete bastard sometimes given the number of mathematical values involved, not to mention the other variables that have to be entered, tested, tweaked, tested again, and so on, and there's usually not a whole lot to report. Editing ini files are easy enough since the data is already there and it works, but when producing new ones, the testing process has to be thorough otherwise odd things such as this can happen: An accidental double entry that resulted in my M61A1 shooting me back at Mach 7 Missing the entry for special effects resulting in no afterburner I can't even guess what's happening here. My point is that these are things I missed when using them straight away after editing (even after going through the edits and being convinced it'd work) that would basically kill the quality of the plane had I released them (had they been mine to release in the first place). Don't get me wrong, I hate waiting to the Gripen too, but it'll be worth the wait, especially sans any potential bugs.

K dude, it's not actually 2 weeks... it's just a standard reply. Rest assured, they're hard at work at this baby... ...Or watching Python, I mean, either way, they're keeping out of trouble.

You guys are agreeing?! Sh*t, it's the Rapture, I knew it! I knew I shouldn't have gotten out of bed this morning...

Personally, I can't wait to take on the IDF and other "what if" elements. They have some cool toys that I wanna chance at taking down! It's looking great so far. Also looking forward playing this MP and taunting someone I've just shot dwon with "What's the matter Kyle, got a little sand in your punani!"

No way, AF TV??

When modding maps, what exactly are we limited to? Is it possible to add fires, smoke plumes, localised weather etc to a map? If so, is this limited to singular scripted missions? What I'm thinking is that I'd like to add fires and smoke to give more of a feeling of conflict to a particular area by having fires in urban areas, installations, airfields etc. But having rarely altered maps before, I'm not too sure what can and can't be done. Lil' help anyone?

Thanks C. I was thinking more like spot fires nearer the target, maybe near opposition airfields in order to give that feel of earlier hits against them. It would also create a sense of urgency for interceptions, scenario based scripts etc. Is there any way to make the fires a little more perminant? It'd produc the same effect, only for night time sorties.

I went to add the IRIS-T to my pool of weapons a few minutes ago and to my horror, noticed that my weaponsdata.ini has only three entries for a GBU-16, a fuel tank and an AGM-88 HARM! I'm thinking "CRAP!!! I've lost my awesome little toys... but they're still there and I can still use them... Anyone know how I can retreive them so I can reinstate my weapsdata.ini??

I'll take it as a no... damn! Gonna have to start from scratch...

Without meaning to sound like a kiss ass, very nice. I've had a soft spot of the BUFF since I was a kiddy.

Goddamn... the man's a pro!! Awesome... but can he do Megadeath??

Sweet, I get it! It means Hornet Fixer...

Lord Jedi, you make a great point. I'm sick to death of good FPS games coming out minus co-op options! I don't buy the crappy argument how the FPS gamer has changed fundamentally since about 2000 and that all we want is deathmatch or online play only! That's why I really got into GRAW 2 and it's co-op play. To me, I believe this has been a big negative of the CoD series.

I got your SuperBug right here man...

The Hellenic AF's version looks very similar... Under the hood though...

Ahhh.... I'm guessing there's no way to decompile that? Once it's in its .dat form?

You're probably right, but I don't get how my weapons are still working as though nothing hs happened. Is this info stored elsewhere? It's really odd...

I do have to say, I used to cheat my ass off when playing MP. But before you try to kick my ass into next week, lemme explain why I noticed more and more players acting weirdly on our servers here, things like the way they'd track you through the walls of a trench in El Al, the way they'd seem to aim at your feet and you'd still die instantly. After a while, all I wanted to do was get some payback on these little punks and found some stuff that would let me do this. When playing, if I saw someone who was owning a little too much or someone who was acting dodgy as hell, I would use my hacks and hunt them down relentlessly! I'd pick on that one person until they gave up and disconnected or until my side would join in (after which the game would get boring and we'd quit). I gave it up for a while and picked it up again months later but noticed that just about everyone seemed to have this omniscent view of the map except for me. so in order to keep a "level" playing field, I adopted the hacks and things were equal for a while, but it just kinda killed the experience for me which sucked because the single player experience was the best!! So what 's the deal with CoD 4? Is it going to see the return of the vehicles, tanks, HMGs, bazookas etc? Or is it going to be along the lines of Cod and Cod 2?

^^Here here.

Bloody hell! I haven't even played 3 yet!

Just so you know (and this goes for everyone) all WIPs and the list of what is and isn't in production can be found here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=17035 There will almost certainly be seperate posts for when the Raptor is close to completion, you can take that to the bank (and not that crappy one that keeps getting robbed)

Hey, the proposed Block 70 Viper is meant to look like this insn't it?

This Tiger makes the rest of the falcon family look like the kittens they are...

Sweet! I always thought that having an interceptor like the Fiddler was like fielding a greyhound bus in the Indy 500...
