I'm going to clear the air here. Just in case some are not up to the latest news.
Let's chat about the ac installer (actually known as the button files).
The button files actually contains all sorts of goodies that for a lack of a better word allows neat stuff like a flag for sliding canopies and fire extinguishers and other neat stuff. Now, this coupled with a whole lot more work gets you the user some really nice stuff.
Like ...
New planes in 1.2 that will be a surprise.
Now whey do we have issues with different buttons? Simple no one so far has merged all the buttons from all the sites. More importantly due to the fragmentation of the community no standards were set in place to allow for the merging. It's like the oxen before the cart, can't execute a plan without a plan.
To this we are all currently working towards that goal. We meaning many of the mod groups are getting together to work this issue out. To this extent, the AAA is working to itemize, document and build tools that would allow all the modding groups to co exists with one button files.
Unified installer 1.2 will contain most of the results from our standardization.
For instance, as I had noted before in another thread, the unified installer 1.2 will allow the end user (you) to select the sounds you want without having to have a special buttons file.
We are currently testing 1.2 to make sure all these goodies are thorougly tested before we launch. Similarly, when the unified installer does come out we will have by default a new ac installer.
Please be patient
If anyone has any specific question please feel free to ask and the moderators here will try their best to answer questions as best as we can.
