AT802 'Fire Boss' freeware from FSN

SOH-CM-2025
says its a 'lite' version..still 110mb!

What is this Free LE Version? This version of the FSN Air Tractor AT802 “Fire Boss” is one we were working on and contains stock audio aliased to the Grand Caravan, Has no programming and has incomplete modelling and textures. This version has now been discontinued in the development stage.

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 After contacting several developers to help complete the project it became apparent that no one wanted to use the outdated GMAX program and we would have to start from scratch using 3D Studio Max.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.

What about support? We are not supporting this unfinished product whatsoever.

Operation: Fly the heck out of it like any other plane. To drop fire retardant press the spoiler key. The fire gate will open and retardant will dump out. Press the spoiler key again to close the fire gate and reset the retardant effect.

Known Issues: Lots but the first thing you'll notice is the prop control is defaulted to 50%. Take it to 100% before take off.

Installation: Copy the folders Air Tractor Amphib and Air Tractor Wheeled to your Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes folder. To install the effects copy the contents of the AT_VFX texture folder to Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Effects\texture and the FX files from FSN Air Tractor\AT_VFX to Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Effects

Restrictions: This Lite Edition is completely free. You may not upload this to any websites that demand a fee for membership even though the files on that site are free. Using any files contained herein for further development or sale is strictly forbidden.

Oh dear, how many times have I heard that sort of story, when a group is formed to make payware!

It seems unless you can work alone and do everything yourself, do not venture into making your hobby pay the bills!
 
Good idea! But I hope in the final version VC will be improved? I think model needs better textures inside.
