LRM 2.0 release no later than April 2009
I was about to release LRM 1.0 as a non-beta version, but as it
turns out there were a few more features I wanted to add.
Then I figured these new changes made it more like
a new mod package than anything else.
Even though the mod is pretty much feature complete, there are still
fine tuning to be done of each part.
As usual the mod is loaded and enforced from server side.
Clients do not need to install anything locally.
LRM 2.0 will have only one release variant.
There will be no separate variants (with varying amount of
features included) for some squads. Instead the ability to
turn off function by function is added in the configuration file.
LRM 2.0 includes:
Server Controllable engine spool-up time (as of LRM 2.0)
Takeoffs only possible from runways (not taxiways/roads/etc, as of LRM 2.0)
Refueling only in parking areas (as of LRM 2.0) (you can get to 700 lbs on rw, in case of flameout)
Turbulence mod (Turbulence when low and fast, as of LRM 2.0)
Dynamic coalition controlled/owned airfields (as of LRM 2.0, no spool/takeoff at wrong airfield)
The ability to enforce special weapons/payloads (No engine spool if loaded those not set as legal, as of LRM 2.0)
Reduced chaff numbers (made stricter with LRM 2.0, originally from 1.0)
Limited amount of aircraft available, with timed reinforcements (I forgot this is actually an AMRACT feature, not LRM, but will be on rve server)
Counters to the barrell exploit (as of LRM 1.0)
F-15 IFF (as of LRM 1.0)
F-15 Radar elevation follows target(s) TWS & STT, (as of LRM 1.0)
Counters to the RadarFloor exploit (as of LRM 1.0)
Optional Support for cursor target step mod (Must be activated client side and set *allowed* by server)
