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??

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'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...

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 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??

^^Here here.

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...

Mental note, need to add it as another stop on my way to Houston next year!

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?

Lightweights... This is 81394ft resulting from an "accident" There are at least three being prepped, but they're not quite ready yet...

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22378959-29277,00.html Bare-bottomed activists scuffle with police September 07, 2007 04:35pm Article from: AAP A PROTEST involving around 50 bare-bottomed activists spilled onto Sydney streets today, stalling an APEC motorcade and triggering scuffles with police. The Bums for Bush campaign was hailed a success by organisers, even though drizzling rain kept many protesters away from the mooning anti-Bush protest. Around 50 people lined up at Hyde Park's north end and mooned an audience of several hundred people, including supporters and media. After two encores of the performance, rain dispersed the protest, which then moved to Elizabeth Street, outside the Sheraton on the Park hotel, where witnesses said protesters blocked an APEC motorcade. Protesters took to the streets before police officers forcibly pushed people off the road, yelling: "Move, get off the road." Around 200 protesters lined both sides of Elizabeth Street and played blaring music, as police on bicycles stood watch. Barely minutes after many in the crowd moved towards the hotel, a helicopter swooped over the scene while a bus delivered an additional 20 police officers. Protesters, carrying placards reading "Sign Kyoto, you wankers", cheered and clapped, chanting "Bush, Howard, USA, how many kids did you kill today?" Police could not immediately confirm the reports that protesters had hindered a motorcade. At the Bums for Bush protest, organiser Will Saunders said while the protest did not approach the mooning world record - 2,000 people, or 4,000 cheeks - it was enjoyed by all. "Just because you feel strongly about an issue doesn't mean you can't laugh about it," Mr Saunders said. "There's many ways of making a point, (this is) the Australian way." The protest also involved a 21-bum salute to the 21 countries in APEC, some spelling out "bums not bombs". High school students Ben Leffley and Daniel Holmes travelled for three hours from Lithgow, west of the NSW Blue Mountains, to attend the rally. Mr Leffley, 18, said the war in Iraq was the biggest motivation for him to join the protest, and he did not believe mooning was the best way to oppose it. "We've come here because we really believe what George Bush and John Howard are doing is not right," he said. "(The protest) was good, though probably not the most effective way." But Mr Holmes, 17, said mooning was an excellent way of attracting attention to a cause. "It may be somewhat symbolic but it's more the fact that it's raising awareness ... people are going to want to find out why we're showing our arses and that will raise awareness," he said.
