Taiwan Theater v0.9 for FreeFalcon - Removed

For those wondering what happened to Taiwan Theater v0.9 for FreeFalcon by Stephan "DerStef" Willmes, I must report that I was compelled to remove the theater release information and related threads at the FreeFalcon Website. The reason for this is Snakeman from PMC-Tactical registered a complaint o...

Re: Current Status of Falklands Theater

CCC - that would be nice indeed. Dewdog was able to tweak the FM for a Harrier - which I believe be done for other a/c as well - such that the a/c can nearly hover over the a/c carrier and then land.

Re: Peru.. a lost mod?

The further we get away from FF3 for Peru - the more difficult it becomes to adapt - - lots of hours to get a decent UI built now, more for the DB and getting campaings running. I may adopt Twister's tiles for Argentina -- he did some pretty nice work there along coasts, also some decent desert tile...

I haven't ruled out adapting ITO2 for BMS4.2. To be quite honest, the ink is barely dry on ITO2 and after the sevearal requests to quite literally pick the bones clean of ITO2, I found requests to be a bit offensive and a little lacking in respect and grace.

Model making, skinning, and the tweaking to which you refer are easy in LOD/Legacy Format.

The good news is I have ITO2-FF5 currently running on my computer, so, once we run thru the models updates and a few hosue-keeping items I suspect the beta cycle will be rather short by comparision to the once we just went thru with Korea-FF5. No promises but that is my early prediction.
