Hi all, I have seen that there are several new "Mods" in development (eg the simulator to 32bit color and the wonderful textures Double_Patch), but you have not been heard of them, like the Super Team Hornet, the truth, I would carry a great joy if it were possible to know how are all these promising projects because I think the Janes FA-18 will remain a great simulator for long. Thank you very much and sorry for my English. A greeting!!

I also read something about the sourcecode being worked on...

The members are currently busy with real world life. Without the hard push and motivation to the members it gets set on the back-burner.

I will say this...

We are always looking for very good C++ and/or DirectX programmers for reasons I can't explicitly type out.

JF18 can be the next F4... we just need the man-power of programmers

It's a real pity there isn't the manpower to hand.

An F4 type update for this sim would be amazing.

I would pay for it, and I'm sure plenty of others would too.

Have you tried begging the BMS chaps to see if they would be interested to give some assistance?

Source code for JF18!? If this is true, perhaps for manpower it just needs to be better advertised?

Great, thanks for the reply, I look forward to any new development, and well, I'm not programmer (or know where to get it), but hey, if you need someone to help, here I am, if only to tell you how good you are, Thank you!!

It's not a bad idea actually, but Joe will have to ask. He's the 'hancho' of our group.

IAM put it best when he says a good source helped him along the way to modify the hex code. We just can't let the good source help out everyone as far as advertizing.

to me, while the TSH project alive, and geniuses making changes, and it bothers me not knowing programming issues, so all I can do is say thanks for this project that will not die. THANKS!!

We could not charge for it - certainly that has never been the plan. And so there is part of the problem - we don't see how we could really go commercial with this. The original IP rights will have to be protected, as it has been with all our mods.

Begging hasn't worked, and yes we have been in contact, discretely, with a number of other groups in recent years. All we can say.

I don't agree. If we came out and posted in huge block letters that we have the SC, so everybody come have at it, then I am sure we would get bombarded with more people like me that are simply not programmers, but still well-meaning supporters wanting to be involved. In the end the sim still goes nowhere. It's just a helluva lot of work for volunteer code guys to do without pay. Some think it would be simpler to just code the sim all over again from scratch. Even if we had/have the SC, not sure it would really help.
