He seems to be under the impression it's a patch for Flan's.

I think he said pack once, but the title does say content pack, so most people will know its a pack, although most people are too dumb to do a manual install, so them may be dumb enough to believe its a patch, or not know the difference

Just saw the mod spotlight. Can't even begin to describe how satisfying it was to hear someone else talking about Futurecraft, and with so much positive to say about it.

You guys are doing a fantastic job. It looks badass.

I've already begun on the UTF Scythe, and I have some guns that I held back from this release, so I can use them as padding for.

Apart from the two plane designs I got from Iv121,mi am planning:
More laser guns
A big deployable laser gun (thinking of having it look something like the plasma caster from fallout) with slightly less damage then the Mass driver but more ammo capacity
Some kind of infantry vehicle (tank or APC, or both), but I need to work out how to balance this correctly, as I am designing the pack so that it will work well in multiplayer (hence two colour schemes for each fighter), but I've been having trouble getting the stats of the guns right, as I really need to be testing them in multiplayer, but I can't host a server, which makes that difficult, also I need enough people to actually get a decent match going, so that I can see what need to be powered up, and what needs to be nerfed.
Maybe a big ass AA version of the Tactical Mass driver, in fact I'll probably do this before the tank so I can get used to turrets and stuffs.

Remake the AR-12 with a better model and texture.

Not necessarily in that order

Any idea why the 3rd person stuttering glitch is happening? Based on the frequency, it looks like either the plane or the player is fighting for control of the camera, and wins on the tick frame, but relinquishes control on the non-tick frames.

Now that I think of it, it's also possible that this happens with other planes as well, but that the camera position is identical for both, so no one ever noticed. Just guessing here; I haven't looked at the code.

We should grab this video guy into the forums, see if he will keep making video updates as the pack is updated.

I think something in galacticraft is causing it, because that never happens otherwise, the only instance where I've ever seen this happen has been when using galacticraft, though I don't know why, I think it is because when you use the rocket for galacticraft, the 3rd person camera is at a different position to the 3rd person camera used for Flans mod, and it might affect the standard position of the 3rd person camera, and when Flan's mod tries to change it, it goes all derpy. not entirely sure, just a thought.

Interesting. Is it only once a rocket has been built or always? Also does it do it on the ground or just in space?

IDK i don't use galacticraft, though I should look into it at some point. but I did use galacticraft once, and I seem to remember the 3rd person camera being a bit further away, but that may not be true.

IIRC you can change the location of the camera as part of a plane's basic data. I don't know if that's relevant or not.

You can, I initially had problems with it being too close, but that is probably down to the distance on Manus's viper (what I based the basic data and stats on) being quite close, perhaps if I knew the camera distance for galacticraft, I might be able to negate the bug

Guys, problem, some asshole is trying to get this taken off PMC because it isn't a mod, need backup, NOW, get on the PMC post, find his comment, and back me up, if you don't have a PMC account, make one, I will not have this happen.

It alters the game experience by adding more content, by definition it counts as a mod.
Plus a site moderator has up voted it

EDIT: never mind, got a few mods to back me up, no chance of it getting taken off now

EDIT2: actually, feel free to back me up anyway, I want to make this guy feel small

A link to the PMC post would have been a helpful addition to that.
