What this tells me is that the protections on all of this stuff was half-hearted at best, which is smart on Microsoft's part, as spending time on something that will almost certainly be bypassed just short of instantly anyway is silly.

I don't believe so.Excellent job by the way!

2, Illegal for home brew addons / mods too?
I wouldn't worry too much about that. It's pretty rare for developers to drop the hammer on modding. Most will either encourage it or quietly tolerate it.

here ... I will not say the name of the tool for legal reasons ... of course! ...
PM me please.I am asuming isn't Okino or Pandasoft; both legit!
Exporter: Microsoft Flight Exporter (custom), SDK 2.8.50.0
aaaand there's the gold right there. Read it and weep, doubters!

Could you please tell which are the possible developments that your discovery could exploit ?Maybe that is pretty obvious but to summarize, could you insert a simple polygon into Flight associate to it a cockpit and fly it ?Thx

When I saw that my eyebrows went up, too.

Everything? :) At least I can think of planes (jets!!), gauges, static objects, scenery.. much like in FSX..

Maybe. I have already flown in invisible plane in the game

some preview and wing fold animation

Hummm! if I remember correctly, there was a guy here on Avsim's forum who said, and I quote,.. " Everything is there, locked but there".....I can't think of his name right now....bummer, I'm sure he was taking seriously..... :db:

Wow, that preview of the wing folding animation is neat.Amazing, who knows what all is in there to be discovered and possibly used in the future...

That was me and it is locked. Is anyone else here modifying the game? Is anyone else here doing repaints? Is anyone else here opening the models? No.. Because it's locked. Sako cracked it Xbox Live and the game. Anyone can unzip a pak file, not nearly anyone but a select few with the tools can import and run the game after the fact.. Because it's locked. You want to make condescending remarks about someone try to remember their next next time and use it..

I'm kind of hoping for some kind of FSX-Flight merge.. The FSX global scenery and planes combined with Flight great performance.. :Idea:

Well, not cracked XLive.. more like memory patching (original file not modified on the disk).Game loader can be made to handle this process automatically during launch -> no corrupted installation error.I know what to do and where, I just don't know how to do it in ASM.. or on the contrary, I could just write launcher in C# and .NET.PAK extraction is simple, just add .zip to end of it and unpack, then you get a nice set of core game files.After file add/remove I pack it back, but not using WinRAR.For this task I use much older zip program, Info-Zip.Once .pak file is created I just copy it to FS dir.Launch Flight, do quick mempatch.. and run program till main menu screen.Once showed up, we must wait for file verification completion (it takes about 10-20 seconds after load).Model files can be viewed directly or unpacked by regular means, just change model type from 0x37h to 0x26h (hexxedit or someth.)Packing them is harder.. as for now I haven't yet discovered proper method for doing so, but I have a clue what it might be.Too technical? :)
