Hello again,

I really love the air tractor plane always have, I just hope that they put some good work into it so we can finally have a great air tractor for FSX. Are you part of the team?

Ya, didn't the sig give it away? lol
 
Ya I guess Duh

When is the time frame now as I guess you're going to start from scratch in 3D Max? Seems like alot of work.

I don't have a time frame yet but ya alot of effort and time has been invested so far from all the guys and having to redo it will be yet another big effort. The model you're flying was worked over from one we purchased from Turbo Squid and this new one will start with two strait lines complete from scratch.

Luckily we have all the info from our partners like Fire Boss LLC so that takes the guess work out of things.
 
i'm actually still at work (airline mechanic) but i'll have to download it tonight when i get home and see what we got here and issue any applicable updates if needed

I don't want to bring the Dramafest to SOH but I'm wondering why you feel the need to keep working on a project you're no longer part of. Also note that everyone that was in the team is under the NDA with Fire Boss LLC. The information you were privy to cannot be used for your own personal development.
 
Why not tell the rest of the story like you did in your own forum?

"Why is it free? Our modeller, not understanding the need to share his source model files with the team refused to allow anyone access to the source files essentially holding the files hostage. Seeing this as a malicious act he was then denied access to the project and removed from the team. Since his leaving he has now threatened to release the Air Tractor on his own behalf if he doesn't receive payment for the work he has done so far. After contacting several developers to help complete the project it became apparent that no one wanted to use the outdated GMAX program and we would have to start from scratch using 3D Studio Max.

Having to start from scratch means that the ex-modeller would not be getting paid and with the threat of having a free version released when our new payware version comes out, I felt the need to release this myself and let folx mess about with it while our new and fully functioning payware version is being made."

Why? Because I didn't want to get all in depth here on SOH. Anyways, I'll not discuss it anymore here and I'd like to apolagize for bringing the dramafest here. Thanks for all your support on this project and we'll keep ya updated as things move forward. Cheers
 
I'll close it for now to allow the drama to settle down...but having released the model the developers cannot expect forum members not to discuss and/or try to enhance the unfinished product.
Good luck to both parties in their respective future ventures.:ernae:
