Thats right, PMC quits OFP editing. The sad truth is that now that we have ArmA here OFP developing is pretty much useless as "nobody" plays it anymore and also when I look OFP after some ArmA gaming, I get this yucky feeling that its so outdated graphically and technically.
It is killing me that we have all the tools, all the knowledge, all the addons and missions for OFP... but there is no future for it anymore. Also personally I feel that during the VTE development I learnt so much and just now I got somewhat comfortable with my OFP editing knowledge... and what happens, OFP becomes obsolete
So as of now I will try to finish three campaigns which I have been working on and release them, I dont want to get into too much details but one is known campaign and two new unreleased ones. And finally I release the VTE v0.4 mod's final version which will be the ending of PMC's OFP editing officially.
While we stop editing OFP, it doesn't mean that we dont provide support for our productions, if anyone finds critical bugs in them, we will try to make fixes so the playability is ensured. But we will not edit anything new or beyond fixing the mentioned bugs.
Its very sad feeling leaving OFP, a game/simulator I was with from the beginning. I still remember the first time I downloaded some UH60.mpg file showing Blackhawk insertion, I was hooked ever since. But time goes on and we have ArmA now which will replace the old legend. I am looking forward to edit ArmA and it will be real fun challenge to master the new engine, fileformats and mission editing techniques again.
So with these words, expect to see the last remaining PMC releases in the near future.
