| Post subject: | Biggest FA flaw |
Seeing as how there are too many to list in a poll (  ), what in your mind is FA's biggest flaw?In my mind it's the lack of a shape editor. Having one of those would unlock unlimited potential (take a look at the MS flight simulator series of games, I think it's safe to say that there are billions upon billions of new 3rd party planes for those games). And I don't think that's an overstatement either........... But yeah.......definitely the lack of a shape editor....... |

A flaw is an error not something that isn't included. I don't recall a shape editor coming with my game... It came out in '97 and you're comparing it to modern games lol brutal we will never win. FA was brilliant when it came out & like I said it isn't a matter of what wasn't included, the biggest flaw is the fact that FA was released with no intention of having a long running future, it was never followed up.

I've always thought that someone should code a shape editor, FA can go on and on, and on, and on if we can be sure to get it to the point where it CAN go on, and on and on. (I'll cease rambling now.) If we already can edit missions through a text editor instead of in the game, why not write a program to edit shape files? They're just coordinates for crying out loud, even if there was a memory conflict somewhere. Thanks for hearing me out again for a second or third time. I can't code, so don't ask me to do it. --Radical_D |

CAG has been trying to create one.......but he says its too complicated or something. Something about needing FA's source code........... |

for the sake of knowledge, how do you go about reverse engineering a program. Not saying anyones gonna due it or anything but if Janes is no longer alive then whats so bad about getting the source code. If anything it'll make FA more popular and therefore increase sales of any FA copies remaining which should be good for EA. |

I doubt though that we'll ever get that source code. I wish we could but I doubt it. |

Explain in lamemans terms- what exactly could you do if you knew the source code? |

You can do much. Source code = ability to rewrite the game. |
