IG and the source code The exe edits performed by the F4UT were authorized by G2 Interactive under a copyright agreement with the participants.
There are no more exe edits authorized after SP3. We are too deep in changes to the OIR exe to incorporate any additional third party code changes. It would create incompatability between SP4 and OIR and we pledged to support the F4UT enhancements.
There will be a new graphics engine for OIR.

Whilst tidying up my hard drive I discovered a copy of the original Falcon 4 Designers notes. I have posted these note for nostalgia/history purposes. In light of what is going on today with Falcon V I thought it interesting that the F4 notes starts with
First of all, reports of our death have been greatly exaggerated. We have been working for about a year now, and we have made great progress.

The campaign has an integrated air-land battle going on, including fully developed strike packages with SEAD, escort, strike, ECM and recon flights included.
ATI has released an updated set of Catalyst 3.0 drivers that are now WHQL certified. It looks like a worthwhile download as some fixes for OpenGL have also been incorporated, including hopefully a fix for the stuttering issues!
