You underestimate what can happen when the freeware minds unite.  A case in point is EZCAD.  You know when I was in school CAD programming was so far out of reach financially that I didn't even bother learning, but now anyone can learn CAD and produce really good results with freeware.  Does it have all the bells and whistles, no, but how many need them.  Lots of what VRS does is protect their product from piracy and that is why there is such an elaborate interface.  It isn't necessary to have to create a standalone program to create load outs.  You should be able to land, select what ordnance you want, then off you go.  The main reason for ACM is the registration checking.  What VRS has done with the Tac Pack has already been done in the free world.  All you have to do is look and the SDK is available too,  see other post.

you might say that what CS has done with the weapons pack has already been done in freeware, but dont come saying that tacpack has been done, cuz its much more complex than that. open your eyes, what other pack involves adding 3d models under a plane's wings, and also 3d gauges on their VCs?  you know what "no cheezy generic 2d panels" mean....
can you open a small interface and drop in a tanker plane in front of you?

obviously all of this can be done by anyone, but developing quality add ons is time consuming, and most of the time becomes a full time job, thats why you charge for it, and thats why you protect it from piracy. btw, keep this discussion in just one thread

Johan:
Sludge,

I assume you have tested CSWeapons a little...I have your team integrated version (Sludge FSX)  which works great, lots of fun with CSW. However, with CSW loaded, all the vapor effects on the Sludge are gone, although the aircraft.cfg doesn't seem to have been affected with the loading of CSW. I am wondering if it was just me...Thanks to let me know when you have a minute. Have a great weekend.

Johan

Johan,
It's not just you. Same happened to me. I was gonna ask Sludge, but then I figured it has to do with the CS weapons putting gun effects into the nose. I haven't tried, but I would bet that if we remove the CS weapons the vapor would work again.
