Jack, -Ice is right. Skunkworks is not affiliated with LP by any means.
You also shouldn't worry about an update issue. Its more or less known that the 'latest' patch was the last patch.
Might be good idea to show/list what you changed on realism (hitpoint stuff ) So others can see where you are coming from . Few examples with results against stock AF .
I am always curious how other mods/groups approach data to realism.
Well we gathered as much info about an ACFT a we could via online sources, things like general performance data, airframe data, engine data, material thickness, & typical 'red side' equivalent. We also watched countless hours of videos that generally discussed ACFT comparisons and generally had long drawn out discussions about "who would win in a dog-fight" (assuming pilots were clones).
A good example would be the A-10. There are not as many birds that can take abuse like an A-10. And how about that F-15 that landed with one wing? That has to say something about potential survivability. So you can see where we tried to approach it from. Also the return of the BFops.cfg file brought the 'realism factor' back up some. A few things included in that is the 3D sound, over-G will cause damage, some MFD 'bugging' change, etc.
