camels aren't so great

"Being too difficult to implement", and yet here we are. In just a few weeks time, gibbed has already unlocked a feature that was "too difficult to implement" and will probably get it working.
There's a vast difference in polish between "unlocked", "barely working in concept" and "actually passes QA and ready to be put on all disks" - as Ninja mentioned theres likely a lot of testing and bugfixing necessary just to get it past the potential "will lock your game or render the savefile unwinnable" issues. And i'm certain there were about four dozen more important issues to spend a theoretical '2 more weeks' on when trying to get a game out the door under a looming deadline. :/

It's feasible to us (the people who know what a 'mod' actually is) and we love the unlocked unpolished features, but i can totally understand why they wouldn't include/expose them in the final release.

Including ones flown by the enemy?
I tried to call a vtol delivery from the phone with the workaround active, and it just never showed up, so presumably, yes.

It probably does awful things to missions with scripted helicopter sequences.

SRTT being stuck on one time of day in the open world always annoyed the holy hell out of me. So, I took a break from working on the GoS gui and was able to create an actual day/night cycle. The transitions are currently abrupt since Volition only bothered to create 4 times of day (sunrise, noon, sunset, and night.) But, I should be able to easily create a bunch of transitions to make the changes a lot smoother.

Just wanted to share the good news. An alpha should be out soon.
That sounds loving fantastic, great work! Looking forward to that.

 Yeah, i've had a few inconsistencies with various transitions from random timezones to another - presumably some subset of TOD parameters isn't correctly or at all updated, mostly with more exotic environment effects (like mars sandstorm) or bloom.
