Need F4Browser For FF5

Post by Mr.Fox » 2010-03-18 04:17:25

Hi,
why no one make any F4Browser For FF5?
I read in FF5's official Website that the data base is Locked.
Can't any one break it and make F4Browser for it?

with lots of thank Mr.Fox

F4Browse was coded by Codec who now/was working for LeadPursuit so obviously they aren't going to release new version.

You need to ask FreeFalcon forums why they change the file format of the database and campaign files so the tools wont read them.

The FF5 database is locked at the moment. I believe the reason is to get it 100% in order and to eliminate issues with bad crash logs due to community edits. I believe that it is to be opened up at a later release.

In 5.5 DB for TE and dogfight will be open, the campaign DB reamins locked. I saw that you also post on FF forum.

I thnik before ask something strong pls. examine what is Falcon exactly. Flying other AC besides than F-16 is only a bonus feature. Long time ago the goal was to simulate F-16C (Block 30/50) AC. Separated avionics modeling can be done currently.

If you have open DB the F4Browse is not enough to make changes that you desire. F4Browse makes easier only changeing the inventory of an existing HP. Changing the used racks, position and alignment of rack is a different thing. If you don't understang how works the ATO code part do not want to change these. Long time ago I had certain skills about editing but structure of FF serise has been changed so strongly that most of my skills are outdated.
