Yup... that silly program that's been keeping MH and Mighty busy for far too long is available for download!

Spanky here...

No offence to anyone but I think limiting the use to One plane, one terrain, one weather and 2 events AND 5 minutes at a time AND only 15 days of use. Was a bit overboard.

Usually demos arn't time limited and are one or 2 planes/cars/boats/ and one or 2 terrains/courses.

Otherwise it looked ok but I couldn't fly cause I just redid the computer and i'm looking for my joystick drivers.

Agree... to an extent.

As this is "technically" a RC trainer (off-season fix)...

I would assume the publisher is trying to curb the free-loaders and get the cheap-bastards to pony up for the full-montey.

Who can blame them in this day and age?

Hmmm...

When I say "patch it"... it in regards to pushing some of the code enhancements of RCSim into FSSDOE.

It installed perfectly for me... and ran like greesed-goose shit. I immediatly could see graphical and speed optimizations...

Will be interesting to see if MH and crew trickle some of that back into FS.

Here's a thought for inertia.

Optimize the renderer, update the openplane while allowing older models to fly. (couldn't you just import older models with null values in items that didn't exist before?).

Oh yeah- and tweak the AI.

Finish the Open Plane Explained document.

Release a FS update disk with these enhancements and ask $15 for it. Post notices EVERYWHERE and get some reviews.

Let's see, get 1000 to 2000 users to buy this and you've made 150K to 300K in sales.

If Activision still owns the FS:SDOE name, call it OPenPlane Enhancements for Activision's Fighter Squadron.

Help Bryan out with OPS 2000 so it can be a stand alone editor creator, include it and chrge $25 a copy- give Bryan $7 a copy and keep the other $3 for inertia.

I'd plunk down the dough right now if an update was available with OPS 2000.

Let people know about discounted versions of FS (like the free one) and offer to send the update with a user add-on created disk for free to any new users that register their copy.

It installed, but it crashes everytime I try to fly it. I read the read me, and noted the notes on crashing with some video cards. Maybe it is my system.....
