This isn't the same as when we changed from UP 2.01 to UP3. Its completely different.
That whole shite fest was due to the difference that TEAM D put upon us whether be design or serendipity with the class file changes between 4.09 and 4.10.
Since we are all now running 4.10 UP3rc4, this will be a simple patch from where we are now already.
That said, it won't hurt one jot, for a few of us to test first, and then for Friar's sensible vision of events to be undertaken.
The only problem i foresee, is that this uses a new apparently 'final' version of Zuti, and/but this has been the source of issues with many mis.files, so.....
Massive bonuses of this patch will be the Up Updater from old, which from past recollections solved much anguish.
So i'll like some others test first........ but i don't really foresee to much transitional change imo.
The problem will be missions that are somehow no longer compatible with the new version, due to changed aircraft and/or object names. And loadouts. And whatnot...
In that light, the troubles are still the same...
What we need is a list what has changed regarding those objects...
If we have that, I can change / create a tool that will automatically fix any issues...
Biggest trouble is, we will only find out by running the new version, I don't think I'm gonna test over 1500 coop missions... ;-)
I'll surely be very happy with the auto-updater!
Oh, and +1 on what Colin said.
Do some testing first, a few peeps, indivudually, share the problems, analyse them...
And that 'upgrade weekend' --- splendid idea --- though me thinks it'll take a whole week or so, but not two!
