I'm not very familiar with the source code so sorry if I'm retreading over previously tread ground here. I downloaded version 3.5 and was playing it just now and I switched on the cheats for fun and selected one of the capital ship beam weapons. Now usually in FS2 when I did this I got the sound of the beam at the instant of firing then nothing and a dinky little projectile sorta thing fired out. This time however, it was the same sound but the actual beam fired out. I tried it with different beams from the AAA's to the Sathanas's and each beam sounded the same but looked like the right one. Think this might have any implications for TBP in regards to the always wanted Minbari fighter beams?

yes the SCP has fighter beam support - and yes flying a nial with fighter beams kicks arse - and they finally run stable in 3.5

...and we'll be supporting that in R2. We've said this already but it was hidden off in a corner so it was a good question to ask.
