I've heard rumors about a new version for Airpower mod (An UT2004 mutator/mod).

If it is true...Where can i get it?

i dunno. where did you hear of this?

i STILL have no idea on how to make the jets fly faster then a slug on acid.
but atleast the gunship works.

i wasn't even able to get the damn gunships to do a thing.

You have to press B in order to accelerate.

Accelerating is fine for me, though turning is a whole different story. I cannot turn the jets at all. There's not much you can do when you can only fly in a straight line.

You don't really have to press B,you have to press the "Last Weapon" button (B is the default,so yeah.)
