Our agreement (which was extended by quite a bit past the original
deadline) lasted until March after that G2i started developing their
products. Of course their is heaps more we could have done to the code
but to have the two development streams going on at the same time on
such a complex piece of coding was impractical from G2i's point of view
as a development house.
=20
That's not the end as there is a lot of work going on to improve F4 from
the data side and some of the projects will last some time eg flight
models are being continually improved as new and more accurate data is
found. Of course there are the new theatres, hi res textures improved
weapons data, updated airfields, new cockpits 2D and 3D, new and more
detailed models, improved SAMs, improved ATO, more trees, more weapons,
CTD fixes in the data etc etc etc. Plenty to look forward to and we're
still discovering things we can do without modifying the core
executable.

Hi Chris - Does this mean that we've seen the end of exe mods? Has G2
closed the door to any future work beyond data changes?
