It wasn't open source but the original maker of the game had given them permission to make the mod using his engine. He also allowed them to redistribute the ENTIRE Secret Ops game in its entirety given that E.A. don't care about it and it was free anyway. Standoff is a SERIOUSLY kick ass game that has one MAJOR element that none of these FS2 games have...........a PROPER cockpit view. The graphics on this game are just as good as the FS2 engine, once bloom/hdr is enabled but they do need a half decent system to run without stutter or slowdown. Anything above a 3 gig p4 with a gig ram, 256 gfx will be fine. Its taken 6 years to finish this mod and its definitely payed off. VERY nice game and one that puts that puny piece of crap on the 360 to shame. If this had been released for the 360, with online capability, people would have been VERY happy, instead of VERY peed off. ps. I had invisible ships to, so I changed my gfx drivers to older ones, not newer, and it now works great with bloom etc. I use an nvidia 7600GS and downgraded my drivers to v.86.47 I think. May have been 47.86 but either way, its great. ESSENTIAL FREEWARE GAME.
