Yeah the project was publicly dormant since the release of A4.1. The mod underwent a complete overhaul from the ground up since discovering advances into Bytecode modding. Majority of the time went into the flight model in High Alpha research mechanics and multiplayer support with a rudimentary anti-cheat implemented. I highly suggest you to bring a few friends into a private multiplayer match to see where the majority of the development time went into.

We had a lot of talk going on about how far we can go with this, however there are still some roadblocks needed to be overcome.

Yeah the Ace Combat modding communities, specially in Discord have been pretty fragmented from recent events. Thankfully I run my own private server that is purely focused in Research & Development that keeps modding progression away from drama and modder witch hunting by vanilla purist run communities. I am a strong critic towards knowledge gatekeeping, the game is technically End-Of-Life so any attempts at reverse engineering and development shouldn't be looked down upon as many of us who are working towards this only wants the game to last longer in terms of replay-ability and expressing creativity. Thankfully gathering the right people with the technical know how has made this possible, if not I personally would have lost interest in modding the game and moved on in life.
