Chips... I definately got everything except for the ultra-nasty problem of getting a custom animated propeller working, cleaning out the outhouse that is mbases.ini (although I've recently made some serious progress there) and several other things like that ... that are either nasty, unavoidable, or just time-consuming. So, yes, I got the Version Number hacked... and now maybe... just maybe... I can get some server op. with a low playerbase to try switching over to my mod.
And... OMG folks... I'm not even going to make a screenshot of this, because it has to be seen to be believed...
I got the Ocean to accept tiled mipmaps... which basically means when you get close to it, it has a huge level of surface detail... the sense of motion that it adds to high-speed flight has to be experienced to believed... and the sense of realism it adds to the mod has to be seen to be fully-appreciated. Alpha 4 is going to be incredibly cool, even though the game is nowhere near content-complete...
