LP Third-Party Add-On Agreement:
Quote:
Allowed modifications are:

  • Models and Model Textures
  • Terrain Textures
  • Tactical Engagements / Training Missions
  • Documentation
  • ACMI
  • Squadron Patches / Pilot Pictures
  • User created content originating from and created by the FalconAF executable


If approved, they'll be distributed via the autoupdater. We hope everyone understands that a centralized and organized system of modifications is the only way forward. We cannot stress enough that Lead Pursuit remains totally committed to maintaining the highest levels of stability in both single player and multiplayer, and of course maintaining levels of realism too.

People wishing to submit modifications need to download the TPAA form from our downloads section, fill it in appropriately and send it back to us via fax only at +1 512 275 3808.

We're confident this is a great way for community developers to become engaged in the simulation and start to get those creative juices flowing once again. We're also gathering questions on the TPAA to prepare a FAQ so that everyone has access to the questions and answers so they too can participate in this opportunity to make their mark on Falcon 4.0: Allied Force. Please email questions to tpaa@lead-pursuit.com.

Known Bugs:
  • The key command for the Idle Detent Switch is ALT+i, not SHIFT+i as stated in the manual.
  • CTD when using easy avionics and a contact leaves the radar display
  • Intro movie is not visible sometimes when certain antialiasing levels are enabled - Fix located HERE
  • Cockpit mouse cursor disappears when antialiasing is enabled
  • Keyboard commands for rudder may not work when a joystick rudder axis is present



Known Issues:
  • TrackIR functionality in the 2D cockpit is odd. A good solution to avoid TrackIR use in the 2D cockpit is to pause/disable the TrackIR in 2D and unpause/enable it in 3D; this can be accomplished in a single button press with a programmable joystick or HOTAS.
  • Additional NICs must be disabled when flying multiplayer on a PC with more than one network interface
