I did ask a few people to help out on textures for it, but never got anything back, but some of the shapes overlap, making some funky texture glitches, meaning two colours cannot overlap, however when I made this I knew very little about shapes and the toolbox, so I might remake it after the AR-15, the Scythe and the Atlas.

It's called Z-fighting, and it should really be addressed, rather than swept under the rug with matching textures.

So that's what it's called, I can remake the model for it, I know how to prevent the Z-fighting now, it's quite simple, but it is something that has to be done during the modelling process, so I'd be best restarting it from scratch.
However I don't know if I should do that first, or get these two done: I fear if I try to remodel it now, I'll get too preoccupied with it, and I'll end up taking ages to do the other two, this has already happened with the development of the AR-15, so I'll probably just cut the AR-12 from the release, then add a reworked version later.

That's because the cockpit texture doesn't work and you haven't fixed it yet. When flying, you look like you're sitting in a kayak.

How do you deploy the mountable guns like you have done in the picture?

Also, props to Prototype for all the lolz I'm having now!

Pics of funzzys On a more serious note, I found a bug using the the Laser Sniper Rifle. In the picture you can see that the laser is just hovering over the block, and not moving at all.

Spoiler:

I've had this happen with Vanilla arrows, so I don't think it's an issue with Flan's Mod. Might be with Forge, because I've only seen it with Forge installed, but that may only be because I haven't tested it without Forge installed.

Never seen that bug before

me neither

It does look like the old fireball-at-the-end-of-loaded-chunks bug, but I doubt that was the case...

Yeah, the arrow one I got happened with me firing at the ground from about 3 meters away.

Maybe a bug in the code that´s supposed to make it explode?
It does look like an arrow that sticks in a block.

I reckon it's a general bug, I probably can't do much, thought I will review the LRW settings.

Also the pack has been downloaded 112 158 times within a day, and Manus has set it as news on his website

Proto, you said something about "beta version for bug-stomping".
Well, I got you a bug.
When I flied around in the Phlanax, my character suddenly stopped moving along with the plane.
Soon, I was in unloaded chunks as the loaded and rendered chunks moved witht he plane, couldn´t leave the plane I wasn´t even in and didn´t have any idea on how to fix it.
When I ended the game and reloged in, I was still in the plane, but again I quickly detached from it, seeing it fly away.
General mod bug or problem with the pack?

Ah, now that is a general bug, we've been bugging Flan about it for a while, though it only happens if you go too fast I believe.
I have had this bug

348 downloads already... wow, was not expecting this.

Also nobody on Minecraft SMP.de has found any problems so far, which is good.

Also I have an update on my priority list:
1. Finish AR-15 (60%)
2. Do calculations for the scythe (only need to do wing angles, lengths and position of parts, though I have three big maths exams coming up, so I can use this as part of my revision)
3. Make the scythe
4. Make the atlas (no calculations here, I can just wing this one, for I can do half of it in Techne)
5. Make the AR-12b Skyblazer MKII
6. Take over the world

Okay. Then I´ll stop accelerating the fighter to maximum.
Maybe nerf the speed of those things a bit to keep people from triggering the bug in the first place?
