ACE-OF-ACES, this will change much of the relevancy of your past information and you will no doubt have a new round of FM testing, correct?

Depends..

Assuming 4.10 uses the same FM data file structure than the mod makers will not have to update thier FM data files to match the new structure..

Which means we will still have the case where UltraPack changed Lt. Wolf's FMs..

And just to be crystal..

That is NOT the only FM UltraPack made changes to..

UltraPack made changes to dozens of HSFX FMs and EMDs

I forget the count monguse had but there was a spread sheet on all the HSFX FMs/EDMs that UltraPack made changes to and it did not fit on one page..

Some were minor changes.. only 5% others were changed 100%

Keep in mind that this 'data' is what gets fed into the 6DOF flight model..

It is this 'data' that defines the planes performance..

For the most part the math of the 6DOF does not change from plane to plane just the 'data' fed to it..

Now if they made any changes to the math of the 6DOF flight model that will affect the perfomance too..

But it will affect all the planes the same..

I have only begun to test all the planes they made changes too..

Some preform better and some preform worse than the orginal HSFX FMs..

Once I am done it will be easy to see if there was any blue red bias..

But as it stands now it just looks like unfounded random changes made to all types on all sides

I have a feeling that much of the content which you felt was on topic in the past will soon become off-topic information in the light of the next series of releases, wouldn't you think?

Not from what I have been hearing threw the grape vine!

Long story short..

If you want the P-51 and Fw190A2 mods with BETTER performance than you want HSFX..

In that UltraPack edited the FM to reduced the performance of these two planes in thier pack..

That is to say if your flying one of the new P-51s in a server that allows mods (both HSFX and UltraPAck) and your using HSFX..

Your HSFX P-51 will performe beter (faster, climb better, etc) than those flying the same P-51 and using UltraPack..

There is also the changes to the EMD they made that some say gave the P-51 more of a glass jaw..

That is to say is easier to damage in UltraPack than HSFX..

But I have not come up with a way to test that yet to put some numbers too it, it is just based on the experance of the pilots who have flown both versions
