Re: Mapfact leaked WrpTool

At Ofpec, we only list (and host) 2.0. Clarification on this would be appreciated.

Mapfact are a reputable organisation that have made many things possible in the ofp world. It is unlike them to have agendas of their own, contrary to the community spirit.

Thank you for your kind comments. If you ever do figure out the meaning of the zero length files (as in how do the p3d models actually get their data under that circumstance, please let me know and I will add that knowledge to the write-up at Ofpec. (and credit you)
