Well there models look great! But the screen shots I have seen have them shooting all of their laser cannons at the same time. It should be one after the other, like a gattling gun and the lasers should fire like turning on a flashlight.

And if you would be so generous to send us the FS2 source code with modifications to make primary cannons fire one after the other and I'd be happy to oblige.

Awww, c'mon Ice, he's new!
I know you hear that same question alot, but still, not EVERYBODY knows that!!!

BTW Galen, welcome, I'll tell you a few things you need to know:

NEVER ask when the next version will come out.

NEVER mention the Nial beams.

NEVER ask if the omega will rotate.

these questions are frowned at, they have been asked hundreds of times. so I'll answer them for a newbie though.

Nile: FS2 weapons are linked, unless you come by the FS2 source code, forget about rotating them.

Demo: and I quote "When it's ready!"

Omega: YES, many ships in FS2 rotate, and the Omega/B5/anyother ships WILL rotate.

welcome to the FS2 forums, the beers in the fridge, and the nuts are all over the place.

Ooh, how about this for a question: Will a new EarthForce One make an appearance? That rotates....and it would be fun to commit high treason while on escort duty....

Oh ****!
Now I've done serious mistake!

I have been babling about those Nial beams too often! Like this: "They don't look real"
Thank God I haven't asked why they all fire at the same time.

Sorry Ice

Ok, seriously: Welcome to this wonderful forum. We are so hospitable here, so you shouldn't have any probs.

No as far as I know, FS2 does not like of using three different gun banks, two is max.

FS2 will only accept a player ship as usable if it has 2 or less primary weapon systems. Thats unnecessary duplication to achieve basically the same effect anyways.

They will look half decent (although never perfect - not unless we have the source) hopefully. But thats all we can promise.

Tell me to shut up if i'm wrong, but wouldn't it be possible to create three weapons exactly the same but with slightly different fire rates and are somehow linked together so the Nial beams fire like real.

The source code would not slow down the release of the other MOD materials.

We want to get something out to you guys as soon as possible, but right now we don't feel that there is quite enough quality materials for everyone to use....and when we do ship the demo in late may, its still not going to be perfect and you might experience crashes or any number of things. We're trying our best.

Source code...
IF the source code is released before first final release of our mod, then how much it will delay the mod? Weeks, months, years?

No thanks, I want fly StarFury dammit!
