Just a couple of quick enquiries. MODsim voted almost unanimously to switch over to JoinFS over the weekend, due to it being such a great piece of software and providing such enormous leaps in stability over FSX Multiplayer. Only a few members dissented and only then over some minor issues, which I promised I would ask about here to see if there are any updates.
1) TacPack: Has there been any word from VRS on whether you would be able in the future to incorporate full functionality in the future? Given that pre-recorded AI Sim Objects can be injected into the network by players the infrastructure is clearly there in JoinFS - only the TacPack communication of weapons data and damage seems blocked at the moment.
2) Security: When do you think that a password function will be added to JoinFS in order to provide network security for private VAs?
3) Animation bug. We'll be using Test 1.0.10 tonight for the first time, but on 1.0.9 we noticed that cockpit canopies / main exits etc still were stuck in an opening/closing loop. I did however note that on one aircraft flaps, when lowered, remained stable. This is a minor issue, except for our refuelling tankers. When the hoses are extended for refuelling, they cycle through the entire animation repeatedly until shut off by the pilot - it makes for tricky work! ( We have a refuelling gauge that operates when an aircraft's probe is within a certain distance of the hose and basket ).
Loving your work as always, keep it up!
