| Post subject: | JKPFA 5.1 Beta Released |
Almost two years ago I released a beta of my lib entitled "5.0 beta." I hoped to release more frequent updates, but didn't really get around to it. I have now uploaded a "5.1 beta" which is available here: http://farc.3synergy.net/libs/JKPFA_51b.zip It basically builds on the 5.0 beta, with some additions: -anti-ballistic missile operations, with NCADE and air launched PAC-3 missiles are attempted to be modeled. There is a ballistic missile aircraft which can fly very fast and actually is difficult to shoot down with missiles. -electronic attack is simulated by bringing back the AEMP-1 Pulse weapon, with some changes. This can make engagements between very advanced fighters very interesting. Everything is very much a work in progress. Please let me know if you find any bugs or want any changes/additions, and I will consider them. I hope to release libs more frequently in the future. The lib is importable, so feel free to play around with it in the TK. Just give me credit if you use anything as a basis for your own work. Also, I'd love to see anything you tweak. Let me know if you have trouble importing it, I didn't test this and my libs had problems importing in the past (with a sound file IIRC). Zephyr |

Zephyr: Thanks for posting this new version -- I've been looking forward to it for a while. I'll be digging in over the weekend. Are there any particular aspects of this new version that you're looking for feedback on? Eric L. Howes |

I've played this mod for a while now, and I think the ordnance needs some readjusting. When you release a weapon, there's a 20% chance that it hits your own aircraft upon release and ruins the mission for you. My own ordnance is becoming more dangerous to me than the enemy. Anyone else have this problem? |

Anyone else have this problem? I agree, and I'm working on ways to mitigate this problem. Every hard point needs to be checked, and what some weapons do immediately after release needs to be tweaked. |

I increased its speed to max allowed, increased range to about 70-80 miles IIRC, and made it silent and invisible (using STARS.SH I believe). I didn't touch anything in the weapon damage section of the toolkit, because I found that would remove the special EMP effect. It may be possible to change some damage parameters by editing the PT file. The weapon first appeared in ATF, using the AMRAAM shape and flight characteristics, I think. NATO Fighters advertised as a new feature the ability of the weapon to cause permanent damage. I've never encountered permanent affects in FA. |

I like alot of the add-ons. The controllable Arleigh Burke was a nice touch.  I noticed every ones in awhile my weapon would explode upon release. What happened to the Su-47? Also, can you use the A-6 shape from USNF 97' over the FA one?

I've released a new beta version, downloadable from here: http://farc.3synergy.net/libs/JKPFA_52b.zip The issues listed below have been addressed somewhat: hardpoint locations have been tweaked so weapons don't collide with the aircraft on launch, the USNF 97 A-6 textures have been applied to the A-6A shape (but with some problems), and the Su-47 has been returned (it mysteriously wouldn't show up in the game). There have been some other tweaks, additions, etc., and the lib is still very unpolished. Let me know what problems you find. Zephyr |
