Groucho,Thanks for the Q&A on this one. Two Words..........ROAD TRIP.....I'm heading to the Bangor EB Wed. Having that development editor is a gold mine. As far as I know this is the first flight sim in which the makers of the game are not only allowing the users to tweak the FM, damage model, etc., but are also providing the tools!!! Fantastic!!!!! Sure puts the closed "only we have the keys" way of thinking behind the curve. I just hope that some sort of "standard" emerges. Wonder how they prevent "supermodeling" for on-line "cheating"?  -------------------- Check six & aim for the cockpit. "We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it. ."-- Edward R. Murrow He who sacrifices freedom for security is neither free nor secure" - Ben Franklin “I believe that freedom of speech should not be so abused by some that it is not exercised by others because of fear of smear. I believe we must not become a nation of mental mutes blindly following demagogues. I believe that we should never become mental mutes with our voices silenced because of fear of criticism of what we might say.” -— U.S. Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, R-Maine, 1950, Declaration of Conscience Speech

Mane,Hate to break this to you, but that "Development" tool is just that, for development purposes only. Sorry. We mentioned this before when we first ran a screenshot of that dev tool back in our news on the 1st of February. Spectre asked if it was included, but it is not. Here's Gail's response to the original inquiry by Spectre. -------------------- Douglas Helmer

I agree Specster...The net is here to stay  oh and bit about the lack of updates too. poor indeed. Aren't company web pages supposed to be their virtual shop window? -------------------- "Thingmies? We don't need no stinking Thingmies" Bilko's HQ

Wolfram,Gail did say... quote:
As for the physics editor, at this time, it will not be included in the
final product. This may change though.
Maybe that opted for leaving it in. We should all find out SOON!

Wolfram & Spectre,Yes, there certainly seems to be some contradictory info coming from the JAS folks. Perhaps the screenshot of the editor we asked about is some sort of full-on, in-house-only development tool, or maybe the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. Not much we can do to check this right now as it is the Easter holiday; on the other hand, it should be shipping now so it may be easier to just get the retail version and settle this once and for all that way. -------------------- Douglas Helmer

A guy in my squadron went and found JAS, and he says the FM & Damage model tweaker IS
INCLUDED! Preliminary indications are that this is the only good news. But I'll be the judge of that when the review is published...
