First, that flag was approved by mistake and we've since remedied the situation. Second, we are working to approve flags as fast as we can. Further developments will be announced later today, as we continue to work through the backlog of submissions.

Your collective frustration is understandable. We've been reading your suggestions, and have been making adjustments to our processes based on your ideas. We will keep gathering your feedback in order to improve the UC program, with the highest priority being to assuring that we don't experience backlogs like this into the future.

Best,
Aether

Even if Marion ever did do such a thing, anyone else who might be involved in approvals would recognize an Editable Aether disguised as User Content.

Follow the instructions in the OP for a start.

OK thanks everyone for this list. CharCo has a deadline today for the new content patch.
I will post what made it in the next patch soon.

Anything that didn't get in is on the list for the next content patch.

The problem with backwards decals is with the ships, not the decals. So please file a support request with as much detail as you can provide.

I'd like to chime in here with two notes:

1) There are some very well written, spot-on replies in this thread. Great to see positive, constructive response to what started out on a very negative foot -- that's why the User Content community rocks.

2) While some people do go overboard in interpreting the 2D User Content Guidelines, in most cases if someone suggests that you've used colors that are too bright or shading techniques not possible in sewn fabric during the period, it's worth at least stopping and listening. They've probably read said guidelines, which are official Flying Lab Software word on what we're looking for in flags and sails. Most people don't go out of their way to "put down other peoples' work;" a good number do go out of their way to try and provide helpful feedback, advising you on where FLS has established the goalposts. I laud their efforts

If Inventor can save to FBX, you're good. If not, it's a matter of finding a conversion chain -- i.e. find a series of formats and programs that can get you from one to the other. (E.g. to get to Maya ASCII from GMax, we first save as .M3D and convert it to .WRL via Deep Exploration, then change the .WRL to a .MA in AccuTrans 3D.)

Thats the animation for the new /toot.

There's reasons why you can't jump discussed to death in many many other threads. We threw in /jump as a compromise. It's might not be the best answer, but jumping in an environment not built for jumping would ultimately br more frustrating for players.
