Guest JM Posted April 22, 2001 Share Posted April 22, 2001 NCA is a patch produced by SFA Tech (the editing part of the Starfighter Alliance league) http://www.the-sfa.org/SFATech/index.html which includes and installs many custom OPTs (some of which are mine ). There has not been a new version for some time and unfortunately as soon as it became likely the v2.0 would be released problems began to crop up. The main creator of the patch and driving force behind it Nob Akimoto found that his ISP had merged (or been taken over by) another and that as a result his high-speed access had been cut off. And just recently a dispute has begun between SFA Tech and one of the major OPT creators. This will lead to further delays as the patch will need to be adjusted to remove those OPTs if (as seems very likely) the creator does not relent in his demand for this.

Guest JM Posted April 22, 2001 Share Posted April 22, 2001 As it says in the XWAU FAQ : Q.: Does the Patch work with other patches like NCA? A.: Yes, the patch is compatible with the NCA, and should also be compatible with other patches! However, those patches might not be compatible with RFP (like the NCA patch) This means you have to install ALL other patches BEFORE installing RFP! This is not an error in the RFP patch but in the other patches however! But, once we will actually add crafts the patches might not be compatible any longer. Problems with that will be discussed on the board an in a readme file that will come with the patches that could cause problems. ------- However Nob Akimoto is one of the people involved with the creation of the XWAU patches as well as being Mr.NCA so NCA 2.0 and beyond will probably be fully compatible (easy enough to co-ordinate them). I'm not involved on the patch creating side of things though so I can't say for 100% certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emupiett Posted April 25, 2001 Share Posted April 25, 2001 Question: Why does the download finish before it is actually supposed to be? Is it their server or something? ------------------ "Intensify forward firepower!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JM Posted April 25, 2001 Share Posted April 25, 2001 There were timeout problems with the download but the file has been moved to the FTP server which should have eliminated the problem according to McRatt. Link is : ftp://www.the-sfa.org/SFATech/xwa/NCA.xmod If you still have problems then please say so in the thread at SFA Tech Main I have drawn this information from.
