Haha yeah I was just about to post that!

I have just finished reading the Superpak manuals and was wondering what happened to that group. Did they join FreeFalcon or did they become part of OpenFalcon or BMS or are they being held in Cuba for disclosing secrets of the Viper?
The F4UT splitted into ViperOps, FreeFalcon and OpenFalcon. Some rumours said that former LP members are still detained in Guantanamo
-
Crikey - thatās pretty conclusive - had no idea about the skunkworks mod either.
One thing I noticed - the 1987 Falcon went with the 2 missions disks - had all 3 back in the day.

awww man, memoriesā¦

The data team from SP4.2 joined BMS. BMS=OF initially.
-
OpenFalcon was a separate team made up of only 2 former F4UT data devs. We started OF just to port SP4.2 to use the BMS exe. We had nothing to do with BMS other than collaborating closely with them. Eventually both teams merged after the leak of OF and flew under the BMS banner.

Whatever it is, Falcon 4 lives onā¦ and onā¦ and onā¦

Iām wondering what happened to all other F4UT data members. Did they all leave? (I also remember that you were one of the 2 former data dev ).
MigBuster> Yeah, Falcon and Falcon AT were pretty much the same software (AT had just enhanced gfx). Both had 2 extensions, called āMission Disks 1&2ā for Falcon and āOperation CounterStrike/FireFightā for AT.

What happened is F4UT (SP1-SP3) started with large fan-base (coders, testers ,devs ,players ) this transfered to SP4 but with lose of many coders as it used same SP3.exe ,Then many other dev left cause to much time was passing on a release . SP4 while had a lot of data added also was delayed for various reasons . In the end of SP4 life there was only handful of dev left .
Honestly it almost didnāt get out the door without major bugs . -

As it should have been in GlobalFalcon. -
Iām missing the Macintosh line! I come form there
IIRC it stopt with 106 for mac, so we waitn and waitn 3-4 falcon weeks for 107 ā¦.

Wow, great PDF! I didnāt start F4.0 until 08, and SP4.2 (which was 4 years old already, i never knew!) was the only mod (along with skins and pits and stuff) i could easily find (thanks to Frugalās). I had also just discovered Janeās FA-18 in 08, but with all these great mods and the communityā¦i quickly abandoned poor Janeās FA-18 (though a great sim, nonetheless).

So the āleakā lead to something good afterall ā¦
